Hi,
I'm so glad that I found this site. Its been very helpful and its good to know that I am not alone because I do feel alone and worried. I've had MRI's, which have shown lesions. I recently had a brain and spine MRI which showed a few lesions on my spine. I am due to have a lumbar puncture and am so scared of it. I know its silly and my neurologist says I can get a valium from my doctor but I am still freaking out. I had a very bad experience with one as a child and now I keep thinking about that and am actually petrified. Its silly, I'm an adult but I am worried that I will completely freak out when it's been done. How bad is it? my view of it is being clouded by my memories of a terrified child! Do you think that if I take the valium I wont even really realize its been done? Never had a valium before.
