Thank you all for your kind words and support - it really does help and I am grateful to you all. I still haven't heard about my results, I don't know how long the results takes - I suppose it varies from person to person and Dr to Dr! He said he would write to me or maybe phone so logic tells me that the absence of a phonecall probably indicates a dismissive letter in the post at some point! Part of me is relieved to not have to have another appointment or face the risks of steroids but part of me wants to be better than this and feels like I'm giving in by not pushing it!! The problem is that this is my 2nd Neuro - Neuro#1 was the best my town has to offer and Neuro#2 is an MG Specialist in a University Hospital, taking National Referrals, Running an MG clinic so a dismissal from him will most likely mean my GP will not refer me to anyone else unless she thinks another specialist area is worth looking at....but my symptoms seem to point to Neurology and I can't see there being a case to see another Neurologist? I've had all the tests, I suppose its all down to the interpretation of those tests but here in the UK they seem reluctant to let us have copies of the results...though I still might try to get them for future reference!!

JulieJayne - I really hope you get your diagnosis quickly and easily!

Annie - Your post made me laugh - Yes, I am an over-analyzer! haha!! I have every eventuality of the film assessed in my mind....but I do try not to spoil everyone else's enjoyment by saying anything out loud!! haha. There has been no mention of CMS but my Mum recently told me that lots of people in her family have a droopy eye on some photos (not all) but that they have had no any other problems/symptoms so maybe there is a weak strain?! The pamper day sounds like a very good idea! Thank you!

Rach - Thanks for your post and don't worry, I understand the implications of the ME diagnosis and how desperate Dr's are to get rid of you once all the tests are negative!! I'm aware that the psychological label isn't far behind and that's one of the reasons I am not wanting to push this much more - it seems the more you push (despite only wanting to have an answer and chance to get better which to me seems perfectly normal!) the more that seems to lead to a diagnosis of psychological origin!!

Thanks again everyone - I hope you're all managing to have a good weekend x
