Day 12 of symptoms. Normal NCS & EMG. Reflexes are still there. Do I push for a LP still?
28/F. Had a terrible flu with high fever last month.
Almost two weeks ago started to have tingling and terrible leg and back spasms out of nowhere - felt like I had worked out but I hadn’t.
This last week I’ve started having more difficulty with coordination in walking and doing stairs, but still can technically walk and do stairs despite difficulty.
It’s now day 12 and Neuro says reflexes are still good and I have some mild weakness that is kind of clinically borderline. Also still having terrible back spasms throughout and trouble with stairs and coordinating my feet.
Just had a clean NCS & EMG. Do you think I should go back to ER and push for a LP since I’m young and would rather start IVIG before I lose the ability to walk, or do you think this picture just about rules out GBS?
Thanks so much.
