hi all
received lumber puncture letter today.
I can understand the WBC, Protein etc
But it also says “paired oligoclonal bands sent” think they may been seen not sent
I understand they had found bands but what are “paired bands” anybody else had this?
I think you’ll have to wait to hear from your neurologist to explain, given that the sentence is not clear. It could lead you down many different paths otherwise and just cause unnecessary worry. When are you due to speak to them?
Thank you for your reply.
I am very confused.
Next appointment with consultant is April.
She said the results will take 8 weeks but seem like they are in
Letters are so confusing, this letter reads like a letter from one department to another.
If it is a letter between departments it could just mean that the paired tests (csf and serum for oligoclonal bands) have been sent to the testing centre. Hope you do get an update before April. Waiting is so difficult.
Hi Ziola
Yes after rereading it lots. I think you are right.
I think she is just saying its been sent for testing.
Consultant did say 8 weeks so thought they were back to quick.
