I'm new

Hi all,

Found this chatroom today after looking for some help with my anxiety about my health.

I lost my Dad 2years ago to cancer and at the same time had a son. About 5 weeks ago I started to get headaches and went to the doctors after a few weeks as I started to worry......I also started to get blurred vision and pins and needles. After 3 visits to the gp and driving myself mad with fears of having ms or a brain tumour he referred me to a neurologist who has advised me that I am in good health apart from my anxiety. Even though he's told me i'm fine I can't accept it and am still panicking in case he's missed something..................

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks for listening

Hi Kate and welcome to the forum. I too went to see a neurologist about 2 years ago as I was getting weird sensations in my head and like you he told me their was nothing bad happening but I was still convinced their was, well here I am still here alive and touch wood ok apart from my good friend anxiety,I know its hard but do try and trust what your neurologist saids, he would know if you had a brain tumour believe me.

Best wishes,

Polly

hi all the symptoms you feel are mainly anxiety, if you check out everyone elses symptoms, i bet you find yours are the same! it does make you feel better when you know its anxiety and not life threatening.

Hi Kate. I'm new here too. And I lost my dad to cancer 3 years ago when my daughter was just 1. She was a newborn when he was diagnosed and I can relate to the stress, anxiety and worry you must have been bombarded with. A sick parent and a new child is a lot to manage. It made me mad when people said that my daughter was a blessing--as much as I love and cherish her, it was really hard trying to be a new mom through all that, you know?

Since then I worry about my health excessively as well. The fact that my dad died due to poor living and now here I am with a daughter, I thought that it was too ironic not to be a sign. But I think I've boiled it down to a beautiful example of the yin and yang of life, birth and death, etc.

I'm sure you're fine. Tell the worry side of your brain (that's how I refer to my constant voice that naysays and tells me things are wrong) that neurologists see horrific neurological disorders daily. He would know if something was wrong.

Take care. It's good to meet you.

Hi Kate. Like a lot of other people here I'm in the same boat as you ie panicking that something's wrong despite the experts telling me otherwise. Hope you find it easier knowing that there's a lot of us around!
