HERE'S THE EXACT: LABTESTSONLINE.COM --good luck (& don't forget to breathe!) --ic

...I found a good site I think it is called "lab results" it's a dot com. It's a database where you can research ask the questions you have. Good luck-ic

I do not have the technical knowledge to answer but can relate that I was Dx'd with MS, but my spinal tap was normal. Eventually I was Dx'd correctly with another type of white matter disease.
