Getting Copy of LP Results

[mindwhirl]

Quick question--Since LP tests are usually send outs, do you have to get the results straight from the doc, or are they sent to the facility where the LP was performed?

I know you can get a copy from the scan center (hospital etc) where you had the LP done, but it is prefered that you get your copy from the Dr if you have not yet seen the results.  The Drs generally like to go over the results with you before you see them.

Apparently not your Dr, so I would get those results for yourself definatlely.

you have discussed the results with your Dr, so if it is easier, get them from the place that did the scan, you can get a copy either way.  As RedFlame will tell you, reading the results is another thing :)

It is good to have the copies and then talk to us and search online about what they say, but figuring it out just by looking at the results can be totally foreign.  I still have not figured out the results of my LP entirely.  I was about to work on them just now actually.

Glad to hear the no MS from the Dr, but it is good to understand why he came to that conculsion.

Take good care

Thanks.  All I got was confirmation that the results were good, not MS.  The doc is not forthcoming w/info.  I forgot to ask for a copy, and am not sure how pleasant they will be when I ask for one.
I just want to see for myself what was actually tested and have a copy for my records.

I got mine from the doctors office.  They usually want to talk with you about them.  Just ask for a copy before you leave and they will give it to you.
