Sore weak legs

[Seymour]

Thank you for writing. I appreciate it.

Still no MRI results this week. Let’s hope no news is good news? If I had MS would they call in the same week?

Sometimes laying down with eyes closed I have a feeling like I’m falling. Even if I eat better it’s still there.

I’ve been having high anxiety since April and persistent physical symptoms since June. Months of anxiety. Constant.

When are you due to become a dad, Seymour?

December 21.

Today was awful. I get these "flares" of dizziness/derealization that are making me crazy. My legs feel weak and I’m tired all the time. I’m so anxious about this dizzy spaced-out feeling that I haven’t had a moment’s peace in months. Not even a minute without thinking of dizziness or MS.

I don’t see an end to this horrible feeling. I feel like I have severe anemia or blood cancer if it’s not MS. Also I don’t have my results yet but they only scanned my brain and I’ve read that MS can be only in the spine. Surely dizziness caused by MS would start from the cerebellum? Spine lesions would cause other symptoms.

I don’t see an end to this. The only relief I get is from Ativan and I’ve been taking it for two weeks 0,5 mg a day and skipped a few days. I can’t take this long term as it is habit forming.

I’m cold and I shiver. I feel like I’d be better off dead. This will never go away.

So you are already speculating as to what other disease you could have if it turns out that you don't have MS.

My son had a virus attacking the cerebellum and his symptoms were devastating in terms of mobility (or lack of). A simple full blood count would flag up any blood disorders.

You've skipped a few days of Ativan which is probably causing you to feel ghastly now You are right-these tablets cause more problems when taken long term.

Your baby wants to meet his or her dad. Have a goal that by the time he or she arrives you will be feeling stronger mentally and physically whatever you are or aren't diagnosed with?

[Seymour]

This is my goal but it just never ends. Anxiety causing symptoms or symptoms causing anxiety? I feel terrible.

If my brain is clear maybe lesions are in spinal cord only or too small to see?

[pulisa]

Maybe this maybe that.....Where did you study for your medical degree?

[Seymour]

It’s terrible I always feel dizzy and like I’m walking around all drugged up. Even when I don’t take any medication. I see people online who stay dizzy without knowing why for years. Why is this happening to me?

[pulisa]

Something to ask the consultant when you get your scan results?

[Seymour]

And if the scan turns out ok?

And if the scan turns out ok?

Then treat the real illness.
