Hi All.
New here.
Please help me, reassure me, whatever.
I'm going out my mind, 3 weeks ago I started with sudden headaches and I've been a wreck since. I've had twitches, aches, pains in my back, nausea, diarrhea and above all catastrophic anxiety and irritability.
I've diagnosed myself with brain tumours, brain aneurysms, meningitis, MS! Everything. I've been to A+E 3 times, once for an ECG because I had chest pains, other times cos I was going out my mind and I felt like I needed that small amount of reassurance that you get after a professional tells you you're ok. I've had eye tests done to check for intracranial pressure etc and all is well.
Last night I had a consultation with a neurologist at a private hospital (I get medical insurance through work), and he said there was nothing wrong with me (I am booked in for an MRI with contrast next week to provide me "peace of mind" in his words).
I want to believe that I'm fine, I'm trying so hard to believe. Some nights I feel fine, my head feels less foggy and I feel a little more me and then I wake the next day with a minor headache and I think "this is a symptom of a brain tumour" and then I'm a wreck all day.
Please help! I need to know what to do to get out of this? Why the f**k can't I believe these experts? They know what they are talking about. The neurologist was great.
I'm under monumental pressure at work and I'm currently buying my first house which might explain it. The thought of going to work fills me with dread.
I just feel so upset all the time, I'm putting so much pressure on my partner, who I love more than anything.
I just want help so much. I'm sobbing uncontrollably everyday.
Thanks.
