It sounds to me like your neuro wants to pin down the diagnosis. It used to be
that you would be put in a "possible" catagory and have to just wait and see.
Now that there are good medications to slow down this disease, it's good to get
a diagnosis early. I know that a lumbar puncture is scarey but I've had many
and if you have someone who does them alot it's not too big a deal. Good luck
with the tests.
