issie Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 My neuro. wants to do a spinal tap to check for MS. For those of you who have MS and POTS - will it show up if you aren't in a flare? I'm doing better since my diet change and think I should wait until I'm not doing so well to have the test? Any input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Did you have an MRI yet to check for MS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issie Posted December 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Did you have an MRI yet to check for MS?I've had numerous MRI's. There is some sort of white matter with flares and I have a menigioma (brain tumor). This is considered benign unless there is a sudden growing spell. They watch it every year and I don't seem to have any symptoms from it - except headaches occassionally. Also have some unusual blood vessel abnormality in the Pons - close to the brain stem. But, none of the MRI's have said any possibility for MS. I think the reason he wants to do this check is for other possible issues involved with the autoimmune response being a possibility of problems with the central nervous system and POTS.
