I agree to its a waste of time and any you have done will all come back negative sometimes I wonder if thery even bother to send them away I can relate to you totally Smitho as I put im my post I had been sitting athe computor only for ten minutes when I got up I had absolutely no feeling below the wast and fell over I heard my foot crack as it twisted I didnt even bother to go and see if it was broken that was about 3 weeks ago and it still kills but id rather live with it and you are right about the lumber puncture I ve been saying this for ages cos whew I first got ill I thought I had Menengitis the clininc I went to said just cos I didnt have a rash didnt mean I had a virus very similar and a lot of virusses live in the spine thats why they affect your brain and nervous system. There was recently a case of ayoung girl dying of renal failure. She had been diagnosed with a psychiatric illness but her mum insisted on a post mortem and shed actually died of a virus in her spine. Wont I dont get is when my son was in hospital on a neurological unit there was a guy there who had phoned the ambulance in the night cos he had numbness in his legs and they were doin every test available. brain scans lumber punctures the lot. I guess your face just has to fit. Also I know of a guy who like Sandi kept complaing of stomach pains. They actually put him on a psychiatric unit. Two weeks after leaving he was diagnosed with stomach cancer and I could go on and on about msitakes, theyre never ending. Im sorry for going on very depressed at the moment dont seem to be getting anywhere Tracy
