My appt is tomorrow, hopefully it goes well and allays my fears a little.

I know what you mean about your girlfriend being fed up with hearing all things nerve related, my partner must feel exactly the same,
Its been non stop the last 5 months for him listening to me! and living with my distress so it would be helpful to speak with someone who’s experienced it too.
I got your visitor message too thanks, it would be good to do that.

I completely get what you’re saying regarding positivity and distractions, I’ve noticed this myself at times. It’s great that you had a relatively undisturbed holiday, gives me some hope that I can achieve the same when the time comes.
It certainly doesn’t help at all when you let it consume you as I have and still do at times when it is bad. Hopefully with time I too will become more habituated to it and be able to block it out to a certain extent.
I’m sure it will help when life in general can also return to normal for all of us.

I just hope I haven’t got the damage that I worry I have got and that this is functional like I’ve been told so far.

Im feeling better about the tests too hearing this, a couple of other people have also mentioned that they found them completely fine both during and after which is reassuring.

Good that your symptoms are down the lower end.
I rate my symptoms the same way as you do and have been having an improved week overall after having a pretty terrible one before that, to the point where I was considering going back on the gabapentin.
I just leave it by my bed as a reminder I have a last resort to turn to if I ever feel bad enough and feel the need to try it again.
I didn’t notice much difference either when I took it previously but I wasn’t on it for very long.

I’m around 2 or 3 on my scale at the moment.

We can only hope it continues!
