next week sometime they will call with an appointment. I am finding it very hard to keep it together! I hurt both emotional and physically. I am so stinking tired and this limbo land can really start to get to you.. Sometimes i wonder to myself have i just plan gone crazy??? is this really not happening and i am just imaging these tingles in my legs and spasms and the consist numbness in my arms. Not to mention my extremly odd sleep and depression patterns.
I am glad i have all of you i know in my heart of hearts that there is finally going to be that one day where they will finally say yes this is MS.
Michelle :(
Sorry:( Story of my life so I really do understand. When do you meet with your Neruo? My GP also talks very openly about MS but my Neuro won't/can't say yes or no at this point.
Hang in there...thinking about you!

So i went to my GP yesterday it was pointless no answers. I have to now go see my neuro again. before anything can be answered. Not a happy camper. When is this going to be over. The GP did talk alot about MS but would not answer if that's what i am looking at.

Sometimes, as they say, the fear is worse than the truth.
I'm in limbo as well, no one knows what's going on yet for me and I've had an MRI with "suspicious" lesions on it.
Don't forget to live your life. That's what I try to remember in these tense and anxiety filled moments waiting for test results. Well, that and a nice glass of red wine! Sometimes I clean, as stupid as that sounds, I clean my room, I clean the bathroom and all of a sudden my mind is distracted. Who wants to clean??? Not me but I use my tense energy in a semi-productive way.
Just my two cents on coping. Good Luck in the future and I hope they help you out.
Sending good vibes your way. Tough spot to be in right now. I remember it well. Hope you get the answers you are looking for.
Please keep us posted as to your results.

hey justnew., you are in that tough spot right now and I hope you are not disappointed. so often people think they are going to get answers, only to be told they are back to the waitandsee routine. I hope that doesn't happen to you.
Keep us posted,

thanks guys Both
I have tried reading it was a no go. thanks for the otherside too. I have been through next test next test next test. I am praying for some answers and in the samw sense i am scared of the answers. Well i will let you guys know when i do,
Thanks for all the support and i so love it on here you all just get me and get it.
Michelle
Hey Justnew!
Do you like cards? lol Solitaire? Seriously, do something to get your mind off of the test results. Sometimes we wait on these things as if they are the smoking gun, and the results come in, and we're not any closer to knowing what's going on.
I hope this is not so for you of course :)
I hope the imaging comes in and your doctor knows exactly what is going on. But, just giving you the other side in advance juuust incase.
Hang in there, best you can.
Good luck today. It can cause so much anxiety leading to this point. I have had several positive MRI's and each appointment I think I will hear more information or get an answer...usually I just end up getting more tests...lol. I hope for your sake you DO get some form of answer or validation!
Good luck to you!!

That really stinks that your GP wouldn't talk to you about the tests. I am sure he/she had the radiologist report in her/his office, but maybe it is because she wants someone who specializes in neurolgy to go over the report with you because they can go more in depth.
Hopefully when you go to see your neuro you will get answers but don't be dissapointed if your neuro says "let's wait and see" I heard those words so many times I wanted to smack him lol.
I waited a long 2 years for my dx. My sister waited 7 years. So it can be a long haul and no it isn't in your head and your not crazy. If your neuro didn't think anything was wrong he/she would keep ordering tests.
Find something that will keep your mind off of it until the day it comes. The stress of "not knowing" is the worst and can make syptoms worse too. Take care of yourself and let us know what the neuro says next week.
Hugs,
