Hi everyone,
Further to my post last week entitled 'MS Worries', I have called my Dr and am waiting for a call back and I am going to ask to be referred to a Neurologist. I don't want them to think I am crazy - although I am starting to think I am but I want to get to the bottom of what is causing my numbness and pins and needles. I hope I can be referred through the NHS but I have private healthcare if needed (although it has a steep excess fee so fingers crossed I won't have to).
I am so fed up and it's impacting on my day to day life and I don't think I can relax until I have an idea of what it is - or if the neurologist does indeed want to rule out MS. I don't 100% believe it is MS so there is still some rational side of me somewhere in there but neither do I believe it's 100% not MS.
I know it's going to scare me to see a neurologist but I can't go on feeling like this. It's taking over my life a little bit :(
Don't know why I've posted this but felt that it would be nice to talk to someone in a similar position. I think my friends and family are fed up of listening to me so I don't bother saying anything anymore so feel like I am just suffering in silence a bit and I am going to implode - I don't mean that in a pity me way but just because I don't want to sound like a moan to people anymore :(
If this is anxiety, it has a lot to answer for! But the physical symptoms are definitely there :wacko:
