Lhermitte's sign & oligoclonal bands found in csf. had no other ms symptoms and mris (cervical & brain), bloods & evokes all normal. will i get ms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CIS: Lhermitte's sign is consistent with spinal cord lesion, and bands are about 95% predictive of onset of clinically definite ms in future, but if no lesions seen on either mri, it is not fully clear that your future deflinitely involves ms. If no symptoms, recommend supplementing vitamin d-3, approx 5000 units twice daily (level 50-60 ng/ml), and repeating mri's in 6 months, and if spots, start med.
