Thanks for sharing. It sounds like you had a different experience to me. I've had lumbar puncture 3 times and never experienced any after effects other than headache. I hope you get to see gp soon and feel better. X

Thanks for your reply ! Well bit by bit i m getting back to normal just walking like i m drunk but thats normal 🙄hopful they will find out what of thé 8 antaxia i have , not that it will change much we all know there is no cure They also took another 15 blood samples and did that électrique thing again on my legs i realised one of my legs and feet was nt respoding to thé shocks

I ll let you know when i get thé results but that might be in many weeks ! I ve learned to be patient x
