scared to death!
wake up feeling panicked, vision gets blurry, dizzinees, spine burns and sore to touch, facial swelling,tingling and weakness of extremeties,shaky feeling everywhere,twiching and vibrations in legs,warm sensations in spots of extremeties.have been to pcp and er and had a brain mri and neck mri all negative and ct scan of brain negative.very scared and getting no answers
I just got my results from an mri i had done about a month ago and it says mild periventricular white matter micro-ischemic changes..I am scared to death and freaking out... Could that mean I had a small stroke or the starting of ms????
Thank you for your comment.I went to a different pcp yesterday and he is very sure that it is all anxiety related. I find that hard to accept but very hopeful that is the correct diagnosis as it isnt life threatening. I did go ahead and make an appontment with a cardiologist for tomorrow and a neurologist and phsychiatrist next week.If they all say anxiety I will have to accept it and gladly! In the mean time the doctor gave me small dosage vallium to help me relax and sleep so hopefully that helps! Just makes me feel not myself and that Im losing my mind! I have been under extreme stress. New baby 4 mos ago my aunt diagnosed with breast cancer and fighting for custody of my eldest child.Also just recently got married so hopefully it is all just anxiety and I can get proper treatment but Ill keep you posted!

Hi there,
Many pathological conditions could be the possible causes of your symptoms like migraine attacks, thyroid disorders,spondyloarthropathies, peripheral neuropathies etc.Generalized anxiety disorder can cause nausea,headache,sweating,flushing,numbness irritability, decreased concentration etc.The other closest differential is fibromyalgia and post traumatic stress disorder .Fibromyalgia is diagnosed by a complete history and physical examination. It is better to rule out conditions that mimic fibromyalgia. Once any pathology is ruled out seeking the opinion of a psychologist will be really helpful. Symptomatic treatment and counseling may help. Do keep us posted.
Best of luck and regards!
