help me

Well I had a drs appt yesterday and I have lost a total amount of weight of 28lbs. since the middle of January. My dr is sending me to a Neurologist for some testing. He feels that I may have some fluid on my brain. I am scared. I am have short term memory problems, balancing problems, and other things to many to mention LOL. I spoke to my friend in WVa today and he feels that I shouldn't worry until I know for sure.  I just need the support of the forum to help me through this. I have already gotten alot of support already and that has been very comforting.

Thank You and God Bless

Has the doctor checked your body's acid/base balance? How about your vitamin B12 level? Has he checked your ANA for autoimmune diseases? Have you tried digestive enzymes? Why would he believe that you have fluid on the brain?

Barb, I agree with your friend that you shouldn't worry needlessly however that is so much easier said then done.  I wish I could give you a big hug but since I can't I will pray for you.  BTW, it's so good to see you post, please keep on posting.

Have you stopped dieting, but are still losing weight?  I'm sorry to hear you're going through all this.  How is the pain issue going?

I can't believe a doctor would tell you what they" THINK "without the testing first ,and then tell you whats going on. Nothing like scaring the **** outta a person. I am sure the neuro will put you more at ease,well hopefully he will . I also went through a similar thing and yes its very scarey but,,,,try to stay in today, we have enough problems for one day, don't we???  Don't worry about all the what ifs, then you will have wasted all that time, especially when you find out everythings ok  :-)
