Went for a lumbar puncture today to rule out MS and to retest for Lymes. The pressure was 15mm. I have been reading that over 60mm is normal. Anyone have any experience with this?? Of course they wouldn't tell me anything [Embarrassed]

. Also had blood work sent out to Igenex on Monday.

Normal pressure is 80 - 180 mm, which is 8 - 18 cm. Are you sure the unit of measure was mm, not cm?

My sons have high pressure and they have shunts to reduce the pressure.
