LP results

[pietiangel]

I got my LP results back and this is what it says:

Normal WBC
Normal RBC
Glucose 55
Protein 27
0 bands
Pressure 19
Fluid clear

The doctor said that my LP was normal and not to worry about MS anymore. My question is,
What are the normal levels for pressure, glucose, and protein?

Thanks Mae! I will not give up. I definitely do not think my diagnosis is correct. I have so much going on that the "silent migraine" theory does not explain. Much appreciation for the thoughts.

HI,
I think it really so'd depend on the neuro.
My neuro fave me a dx with a normal LP. I have brain lesions.
what he told me was sometimes early in the disease the LP will come back normal, he see's it alot.
I hope you continue to push for answers.
good luck to you

Just wondering if anyone else knows anything about LP results?

Thanks Jo, I really thank you for the response. I still do not think that "silent migraines" are the complete problem like they are telling me. I don't think that headaches cause severe skin itching, as well as some of the other symptoms I have had for 3 1/2 years now. I do have some symptoms like ptosis in left eye, weakness in legs, numbness and tingling, blurry left eye, vertigo, ringing in ears, and others that could be from a complex migraine or "silent" migraine. I will just have to sit back now and wait and see what happens next. I really have no where else to go, I have seen 3 neuro's and 1 Rheumatologist with the same dx everytime. Thanks for the quick reply, talk to ya later! Take care.

Hello

I just got a partial back on mine.  

protein       12  -  60 mg/dl

glucose      40  -  70 mg/dl

There was no pressure indicated on so far mine .  

I hope you don't take this as final if you think there is something going on . Keep searching , more tests and more drs.  Did this guy say what he thought it could be , what's the next step ?

Good luck  and best wishes             Jo
