I am honestly elated that my results were abnormal! At least now I have proof that I am NOT crazy  . I don't know what this means exactly, but at least the next doctor can't dismiss me for having "normal" test results.
I was in extreme pain last night (considered urgent care) with skin burning all over, but I was so happy to have "proof" that I still went to bed happy! |
I do relate to how you feel about the "abnormal" results. I was laughing while reading your post.
We are the only few "species" who are happy to have abnormal results!
Of course, we ARE NOT crazy. What we feel is real, regardless of what those doctors think.
Since when did you have your neurological symptoms? I have seen 3 neurologists and I will be seeing another new (4th) neuro.
Let us wish ourselves good luck in this journey of finding the cause, or at the least confirmatory diagnosis.
Take care and God bless.
