My daughter has experienced,on occasions, numbness in her legs,this has all started in the last 6 months.. As a result she had an MRI scan . Her brain was clear ,however, on her 5th & 6th platelets in her spine they have discovered white spots. The consultant has asked for a lumber puncture and a further MRI scan in 3 months. Obviously she is very concerned. Is this something that she should consider trying to have done urgently - possibly explore having the work done privately. We certainly do not want to find that her condition irretrievably worsens due to the delay. because of the delay.
