I thought SPS was diagnosed more by observation? I had GAD 65 test and results were high so since I do not have Diabetes, my neurologist ordered Lumbar Puncture so he could see the source of Ataxia. A Resident did the Lumbar Puncture but told me he got no spinal fluid (I am overweight and I am told that I must have Lumbar Puncture redone under Guided Fluoroscopy - that is where I am now). I have been diagnosed with Spinal-Cerebellar Ataxia - my doctor is looking for the source of the Ataxia. I have SPS as well. My doctor wants me to have IVEG after he examines my spinal fluid (after successful Lumbar Puncture under Guided Fluoroscopy).
