What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In Legs And Arms?
In the past three months, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, DVT both legs and high blood pressure. i m a thin M/W in 40s with no family history or risk factors for the diagnosis given to me. I recently had a spinal tap due to numbness/tingling in legs and arms. Neuropathy was ruled out. LP results were as followed: CSF WBC: 12 CSF RBC: 646 Lyme CSF 0.14* Myelin: 4.80* CSF bands: 0 OLIGOCLONAL BANDS: OLIGOCLONAL BANDS* IgG: 1,040 CSF IgG: 2.2 CSF IgG Synthesis: -2.0 CSF Appearance: Colorless These are the basics, there are a few additional readings that I have put in this inquiry. Any thoughts as to what this means? I was told results are normal, but was given to explanation as the WBC or RBC levels.

Hi, what about glucose reading from LP?lactate results?
anyhow WBC is elevated but not so high nevertheless this needs attention since it can signal an inflammatory process. RBC are elevated . Doing the LP again is advised, and addressing reason for RBC in it is important, since it suggest some source of bleeding.
