You've read about all the worst case scenarios but only YOUR doctors can tell you what's really going on. I hope this MRI will help you-it is reassuring that your specialist isn't concerned but I know that this isn't enough for you at this stage.
I hope your GP appointment tomorrow helps even if he does assess your mental health-you are in distress and dealing with a lot of anxiety and caring for a young baby xx
I know you're right Pulisa, i am not helping myself at all i have spent atleast 40 hours reading about this condition and at the end of the day, whatever the cause i cant do anything but wait for my tests. Its not as if i can fix it myself, so i dont know why i do this. I wish i could go back and unread everything. I'm trying now to focus on what i can change by being as healthy as possible, which includes trying to lower my anxiety levels and hopefully my GP can help with that too xx
