i have felt some of my smptoms over the past month and at times they are so debilitating that i convince myself that it is a brain tumor!
lightheaded - worse upon waking - i goto bed worrying about how i will feel when i wake up
heavy legs - as if when u have the flu n find it hard to move them.this is confined to legs only
the shakes - this has eased last 2 days possibly my meds i was on citalopram and venlafaxine
i have no headaches,no vision issues and nore slur of speech.my memory seems fine( i can say alphabet backwards quickly and have tested basic maths)
i went to gp several times in last 2 weeks. he did folllowing neuro tests
muscle strenght.
reflex in legs and feet
eye with light and pupil check
hand coordination and strength - touching nose with eyes closed
eye co ordination - following the finger
walking tests - heel to toe and on tiptoes and heels
i also had a full blood test conducted 2 weeks ago and showed zero abnormalities.
on my recent gp visit he sed he would book me in with a neurosergoen. well to be fair he asked what i wanted and tht is wat i requested.now i wish i hadnt. iim more anxious. he did say 'we are not in the habit of referrals for the sake of anxiety but i want to put your mind at rest'
i still convince myself i have a deadly cancer in my head.
i have a good job that i enjoy but cant face going in through worry. i have a great gf who i drive insane for reassurance. i am on lorazepam to control my anxiety over the easter break and see my gp again on weds morning for a update.
any advice on coping and and one who thinks like me please support as i am desperate for some comfort!
cheers mike
