Hey Everyone!
Some of you can probably relate to this. Not sure if any of you saw the program that I watched last night on Discovery Home & Health? It was called Mystery Diagnoses. I`m so glad I didn`t watch it a few months ago when I was feeling awful cos this would have tipped me over the edge!
It had a young woman who couldn`t fall pregnant, she had no periods and started getting frequent migraines (I`ve had the odd one) fuzzy vision, tiredness and dizziness (I`ve had slight dizziness on and off). The doc put it down to stress and put her on anti-depressants which didn`t help her. Eventually she insisted on a MRI scan and they found a benign tumour in her brain which was pressing on her pituatary (I don`t think it`s spelt like that! lol) gland and so effecting her hormones.
Well my alarm bells went off! I felt sick I suddenly got a funny taste in my mouth! I`m having hormone problems it`s my PMS kicking in more now that I`ve got older. Oh and I went through a stage of thinking I`d got a brain tumour due to my dizziness! I`ve been seeing my doc for some time and I know I have Post Traumatic Stress and this is what causes my symptoms, (not a bloody brain tumour). Even so the stupid program sh*t me up and I cried myself to sleep last night. I do feel better this morning though but I can`t help thinking if I should mention how I felt to my doctor? He wouldn`t give me a MRI scan just to put my mind at rest would he?
I was doing so well!!
