wanted to add this--I have learned, from reading here, that "finding an answer"/ diagnosis, is not (supposed to be) the most important thing. And for the last several months, I've gradually gotten more OK with that idea. But then there are moments when I just want an answer.
I asked my neuro last week if stress could cause this. I have been under chronic emotional stress--though I have survived MUCH more in the past (death of parent, marriage stress...), the current stress (child related) feels unending.
He said usually his patients are not the one to think stress is behind their pain, but I don't care-I just want some explanation at this point--a direction to go.
Sorry, guess this is mostly a vent. But if anyone has thoughts, widom, ideas--thanks
