Spinal fluid from lumbar puncture
On Thursday I had a lumbar puncture done to test for MS. I have Behçet's disease, which my rhum thought it may be neurobehcets, and my neurologist also said he thinks MS. He's horrible, I never hear back from him about things, such as my vert. Artery had a obstruction and apparently it didn't grow correctly. I've had mris and mra some of my brain and there are lesions throughout.
Now I can see some of my results from the lumbar puncture. In tube 3, the color is listed as being pink and my red blood cell count is 4275. Do I have a bleed? It was done under xray and I can't see any of the results from the other tubes but looking at the tubes they looked clear to me. So I do not think it was a traumatic tap.
I've had migraines now for months. They are daily now.
