Just when I start to feel normal ..... I mentioned in another post that I had seen a neurologist about muscle twitches - that was last week. He wasn't worried about the intermittent twitches - great, that was reassuring. Then he did some reflex tests. On doing a test on my left foot, my ankle and foot took on a life of their own, juddering uncontrollably - sooo weird. He said it needed investigating, but was probably nerve irritation and he would arrange an MRI scan on my neck/spine to check it out. Bit worrying, but ok.
Today, only a few days later, I had a letter saying I was to have nerve and muscle tests on Sep 5th - hadn't expected that one. Phoned the hospital to try to rearrange the date so my husband could come with me, and was told during the conversation that the doctor I was to see had me marked as 'urgent' in her appointment book. Now I am terrified and worried sick. What happened to the reassuring comments by the neurologist?? How can I believe that it may only be 'nerve irritation' when I am apparently an urgent case?? Don't get me wrong, I'm so glad it's being checked out - but the speed of it! I really am so scared now. :weep:
