Hi Tazwaz.UCLH did what they call the first level of tests for a genetic/hereditary test. Nothing was found and it took 5 months for most of the results.
They wanted me to have a lumbar puncture too, which I refused.
And to have the next level of testing which again I refused.
I thought carefully, for me it was all about the 'self fulfilling prophecy' and my children.
Do consider testing carefully and do what is right for you.
