I am driving myself crazy at the moment. I am sure I have a brain tumour.
I know I'm anxious, I don't deny that at all. My anxiety started in 2006 and I had a pretty rough couple of years with it. Mainly focused on heart but I did have a spell of brain tumour fear too. I've had a few good years with the anxiety, I've had a lot going on and I guess other things to keep my mind occupied but I think now I'm stuck in a rut my mind has started wandering again but my symptoms are very real.
I'm always so tired
I get pain/odd sensations down my right side, my face/mouth, arm, hand and leg. Sometimes it feels numb but it isn't. My right hand feels stiff/clumsy/slow
Increased floaters
Brain fog
Forgetting, Stumbling and stuttering over words - I find myself having conversations in my head to see if I forget words. My tongue often feels too big for my mouth. Like its working too slowly and I'm very aware of it if that makes sense
Mental blocks
Short term forgetfulness - if someone tells me to do something I often forget within seconds of being told. Or if I think about what I did earlier or yesterday it seems like it happened a lifetime ago
And the one that scares me the most, google says (I know, I know, bad me!) that its a sure sign - occasionally smell a chimney burning smell, only for a second and next time I sniff its gone
I need to see a dr, but I'm scared. To me all these seem like a sure brain tumour sign. I'm scared of reeling off these symptoms and see the look of worry on her face.
I recently had bloods done for the tiredness and all was ok.
5 years ago I had a full neuro exam and MRI and it was fine but anything can change in that time.
Im now seeing a physio for a possible neck problem. He believes I have a trapped nerve in the right of my neck and some muscle tension. Physio carried out a neuro exam of my upper body which was fine.
I'm a chronic teeth clencher. I clench constantly. I stop myself when I realise but no sooner have I stopped than I'm clenching again.
I'm 28 and a single mum to an almost 2 year old. I'm terrified I'm going to die and leave him. I also work 4 days a week, I don't have much time to relax, he doesn't really sleep great and I'm just worn out with it all.
