Spinal tap question

Quote

Post by albiet » Sat Mar 02, 2019 1:02 pm

Does a positive result in the albumin index and the albumin CSF. mean anything? Many years ago when I had similar symptoms that I have now, I had a spinal tap. Everything was in the normal range with the exception of the albumin index and albumin CSF.
I have yet to be diagnosed.

Probably the best person to ask would be your neurologist!

Is your neurologist a MS specialist?

MS can often be difficult to diagnose, as it appears it is your case.

A question for the researchers around here.

Is it the same Free Light Chain and Neurofilament Light chain? I am reading a lot about them these days...
