Waiting for answers

Slowly but surely I seem to be getting back more of my feeling in the limbs and face.  My headache is back again but with major pain medication on board I can function again.  We are still waiting to see what is going on with my husband.  He is still having a twitch in his thumb along with tingling in the arms, a numb face, hazy vision, and he feels like his eyeball is twitching slightly although it isn't something I can see.  You can tell that his face is tight on the area that feels numb though.  He apparently thought that he would keep this whole problem to himself for a while now but when I actually witnessed the episode with all the symptoms I was really worried.  For a many months he complained of the twitching thumb that happened at weird times both at rest and during physical activity.  I called our internist and left him a very detailed message which explained how my husband had ignored these symptoms which appear to be neurological.  I told our doctor that I had an appt scheduled for him but that I was afraid that it might be more urgent and I didn't want to miss something.  I left my hubby's numbers and requested that he speak to him personally.  

This is how you know that your physician is awesome.  Within hours he phoned my husband and revealed that his wife had tattled on him.  They went through all of the symptoms and are in agreement that he needs to have an MRI.  He offered to order it however since my neuro has the machine in his office we pay a copay for MRI's there vs $800 at the outpt center.  He feels that the wait until the 12th should be okay.  My sweet husband, my rock, is now worried enough to type up his symptoms and comes home feeling and looking run down.  He read online and mentioned brain tumors and numerous other symptoms which all make you panic.  Needless to say, I advised the lack of computer research until we have the facts but I am scared.  We have been together since I was 17 and now I am 36.  He is the only family I have aside from our girls and the thought of anything bad being wrong is worse than anything MS could do to me.  We are all patiently waiting for the next few weeks to pass so we can relax again.  Poor thing and this weekend is his birthday...
