Please help. 19 y/o female
I went to Emergency room and doctors told me they didn’t see anything and the only thing left for them to do was a
spinal
tap
, but said I didn’t need it as if it were viral or bacterial meningitis I would be more sick, and if it were viral there was nothing they could do for me.

Speech Problems with Type 1A CMT
I was only diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth 1 years ago because the doctors I consulted in regional Australia, where I live, have no idea about CMT. I was treated for 30 years for arthritis - God, I was so angry. I now have a spinal cord stimulator in my back to lessen the pain of the Scoliosis

Increase in crying in Mom with CBD
She did more tests,
spinal
tap
to rule out MS. We finally went to Loyola Medical Center in Chicago where she was given the diagnosis of CBD. It fit the signs/symptoms she was exhibiting. The CBD diagnosis was given in July 2016. November 2016, her verbal communication declined.

Lost the plot
I’m at a quandary to what or where I’m going in other words I’m lost. I have had PMR for about 18 months or a bit more as it’s hard to determine the exact time it started. Here’s my story. It mainly affected my upper arms which became impossible to lift but with normal bloods I was given Pred by my GP

Viral Meningitis Recovery - feeling lost and scared
He said that if I had gone to the ER/gotten the
spinal
tap
at the start, it would have shown it. I then saw a second neurologist who agreed that my symptoms really fit with post-VM and that he has seen this in many past patients.

Antibodies increasing in spite of dietary changes
I've had my bloods tested before going to see a specialist next week. One thing that surprised me is that my antibodies have gone up: TGA: was 234, now 353. TPA: was 33, now 34.8. I was just wondering if anyone had an idea why this might have happened? I've gone strictly gluten free. I'm also on next
