I just feel a bit lost
Currently waiting for a spine mri

There is also talk of a lumbar puncture as my last results were destroyed I just am feeling like I’m in limbo

Hi tthompz
The Limbo phase is frustrating as heck! Many of us here know the feeling well, unfortunately.
At the end of the day, you know your body, and you know when something is not right. Hang in there, and don’t let anyone grind you down. It’s far too easy to start to doubt yourself when it feels like everyone else is doing so. You might be in limbo for a long time, so keep at them to get a definitive diagnosis - I had to resist the urge to say “See - I told you so!” to my Neuro when the MS dx was finally made.

I can only give you personal advice here, based on my experience with the NHS. After I also had Clinically Isolated case, they took ages to act, do more tests etc. The thing is, they need to see the scans and how the condition develops over space and time, i.e. if you have 2 flairs up, and if you have lesions in different areas. Take the chance of the lumbar puncture as it will speed up things, and will give you a definite yes or no a lot quicker than other processes. Wishing you well, and I have been there myself. What helped in my case was vitamin D and vitamin B12. Straight after starting high dosage of Vitamin D, per the neuro’s prescription, my condition improved a lot faster compared to the progress made before. Obviously every case is different so talk to your doctor / nurse. Good luck.
