That's reassuring, I hope I can keep calm 😀 That is all in the head haha!

How long is the puncture?

I am wondering if it could also detect viral infections or autoimmune that have no link with the brain eg: EBV or Lupus

A lumbar puncture is a great diagnostic tool to help identify or rule out conditions. The actually procedure lasted only a few minutes. The prep and explanation took longer than the tap. Don’t overthink this because your imagination is your worst enemy!
I know you can keep calm! ☺️ Use that stress relieving technique I sent you the other day. You said you copied it down. It will help keep you from fidgeting. 😘

Hi Maria. How did you did you do with the lumbar puncture ?
I know the results will take several days to get but was the procedure as bad as you anticipated? 😘
