Thank you so much for your response. It was very helpful.

I had bad eye pressure which lead to loss of eye sight in my right eye. We learned that it was optic neuritis which created the suspicion of MS. An MRI showed lesions on my cervical spine but none on my brain so a LP was ordered for a final diagnosis of MS.

Great insight and advice from Lori! I’m sending good JuJu your way!!

Oh gosh, that had to be very frightening for you to lose your eye sight and then possibly having MS. I can imagine the range of emotions you’re going through right now.
Please let me know what you find out with your lumbar puncture. I’ll be sending positive vibes for only good news. But if it does turn out to be MS there are some excellent new treatments available to help control the progression.

Do you have any other symptoms?

Hi @lmcano989. Just checking in on you today! Do you feel as though the headache and neck stiffness/pain from the lumbar puncture is starting to get better?
