Welcome Azlin.... And we do relate..

Sounds like a simular story I had, only it dragged out over a 12 year span! Keep a symptom journal everyday. Things can come and go and you will forget all about them unless you write them down. A six month follow up MRI is a good thing. It can be very frustrating and a bit frightening, but just hang in there.

Hi Azlin and welcome to NT! Sorry you have to be here, but under the circumstances it's a great place to be with all the friendly, informed people more than happy to answer questions you might have. Hang in there....we're here if you need us.....

hello and welcome

Thank you everyone, it's nice to know I have a place I can come and talk with others who understand. Most of my family believes it's all in my head and I was beginning to believe them before I saw the neurologist. She of course agreed it's all in my head, but for different reasons than my family believes

My husband is starting to come around and understand more of what's going on which has been a big help. We've got 3 little ones and sometimes I just can't keep up with them and the house.

I was seeing my neurologist every 3 weeks, so I was caught off guard when she suddenly wanted to follow up in 6 months. I guess I felt like she had given up on me. But, I understand that we may be in the waiting game to see if anything changes.

A symptom journal is a good idea, I'm going to start that today. I was sometimes having trouble remembering what had happened over the 3 week span... 6 months would be very difficult to recall when I go back for the follow-up.

Thank you again to everyone for the warm, understanding welcome

Hi! Welcome to NT.

Those of you with small children to raise have my utmost respect and awe. I remember how difficult it was to raise my two boys in seemingly good health. I can't imagine trying to do that now.

I'm glad to hear you've got a good Neuro in your corner. It's a long process for most of us to get a diagnosis. Hang in there and keep coming here. Lots of fantastic folks who really do understand.

Azlin, it sounds like you have a great family with an understanding Hubby Even though he can't possibly know what you are going thru, it is admirable that he is there for you.

This is your new home away from home. Please abuse it.
