Oligoclonal Bands

If you had a spinal tap to see if you had MS would the test results be compromised if you are currently receiving gamma goblin every 4 weeks for common variable immune deficiency?  Would that give an incurrent reading of the oligoclonal bands?

The gamma goblin increases the IgG in my system  --  I believe that is what the bands are made up from.

Also remember that not all MS patients have bands.  I have no bands.

o I was told by my Doctor o-bands are like tree rings once you have them they are there to stay. Gamma Goblin should not effect a LP but ask your doctor to be sure.
