Re: Diadnosed Parkinism. Anxiety sky high
I will be thinking of you tomorrow. The worst bit is always the build-up as you know only too well. Get the scan over and done with and you'll be onto the next stage and will have gained more knowledge into managing your condition. Distraction will be nigh on impossible today-just hope the day passes as quickly as possible and then you're dealing with tomorrow and progress xx
Re: Diadnosed Parkinism. Anxiety sky high
Agreed, the build up is the worst. Before you know it, it will be over. It's ok to be nervous about it. This is something you've been waiting for for a long time, it will be good to get it done finally. Thinking of you :hugs:
Re: Diadnosed Parkinism. Anxiety sky high
Just back from the scan. It wasn't too bad. Now to wait for results.
Re: Diadnosed Parkinism. Anxiety sky high
Glad it's over and you got through it!!
Re: Diadnosed Parkinism. Anxiety sky high
Very relieved you got through it-you must feel exhausted?xx
Re: Diadnosed Parkinism. Anxiety sky high
Hi 23tana. I am still away on my hols, but thought I would just take a peek at your thread. I am glad you got through your scan day ok.
Keep strong and positive and thinking of you. :hugs:
Re: Diadnosed Parkinism. Anxiety sky high
Results tomorrow. Panic attacks today. Distraction isn't working so I guess I'll just have to ride it through until tomorrow.
The scan was nowhere near as scary as I thought it would be and fairly quiet - no ear muffs needed. I shut my eyes and the 25 mins seemed to go by quickly.
I know it's natural to be anxious about the results, but I really could do without it as I have questions to ask and want to appear rational not a quivering wreck. lol
Re: Diadnosed Parkinism. Anxiety sky high
I'm sure you'll go well prepared with your list of questions written down for when your mind goes blank...if it does.
Thinking of you and good luck xx
Re: Diadnosed Parkinism. Anxiety sky high
Good Luck for tomorrow 23tana. x :hugs:

Good news. It's not Parkinson's Disease. It's Parkinsonism caused by the tablets I'm on. That's symptoms that mimic Parkinson's.
Stopping the tablets or changing them should allow all the symptoms to clear up. That could take up to 2 years or might only be months, they can't say. At least it's not going to get worse.
I'm so relieved and totally exhausted. I can't say thank you enough for your support. Thanks :D
