When I came down with a brain lesion 4 years ago, I had an ELISA test. I'm not sure how it's obtained from the patient. I had my blood drawn soooo many times. I also had a spinal tap done. The docs were also testing me for M.S. and lupus.
I tested negative on the ELISA test. I am wondering how the ELISA sample is obtained. Is it through the blood or the CNS fluid?

Blood test that us usually worthless in the sickest patients. But always get copies of all your test
results and pics of any rashes. Many were told neg. like me, but had bands on WB that should be pursued.
