My first spinal tap about 8 yrs ago showed that my protein level was 4x the normal amt.
Next one about 2 yrs later still showed elevated protein but only twice the normal amt.
I’ve been diagnosed with CIDP and tried IVIG infusions every 3 rd week for 2 days but I felt nothing different after 8 mos of infusions,so I stopped them.

Does pain from a spinal tap last long? How long does that procedure take?

Could the infusions be the reason for the protein reduction?
