And so forth and so on about my research study🙂.
I had 2 more nuclear medicine pet scans this week and also got the summary of the tests from my neurologist. Thursday I have the dubious honor of the spinal tap . Fortunately this will be the last procedure this year.
My neurologist said that there has been a small progression of the Lewy body disease, visible from the scans. So he changed my cognitive meds to a stronger dose in order to slow the momentum.
Thus endth my study for another year, 17 more to go. Regards, Ashley

I had a spinal tap and was it was actually painless. They will numb you up good before. Expect some minor low back discomfort for a day or two afterwards.
