I recently had a lumbar puncture done and I'm having a hard time reading the results. rhe receptionist at the neurologist only told me the dr signed off on them so I assumed they were normal. However, I'm not sure that I trust them after they failed to contact me regarding an abnormal MRI and they have never sent me the card they are suppose to send when results are normal. I had to call up there to find out if they even got the results back yet. The neuro referred me to an infectious disease specialist. This could be because I tested positive for EBV but again, who knows with him. I'm confused with the IgG level and what nucl cells are. Everything else kind of explains itself and seems normal. Any help would be appreciated.
