hi mimi and welcome to NT,

i'm a nurse too; NICU 35 yrs. i got dx'd late at 53 and then had to leave my career behind. that was tough but i've adjusted to it.

i havn't had the sx you're talking about. it sounds like your dr is being thorough tho. it's hard to wait for the dr visit, then wait for the test, then wait for the results. but, try to take one thing at a time.

my advice is to try and take one thing at a time. i suggest you start a medical file on yourself. get copies of results, labs etc. get copies of mri's etc. you may see other drs along the way and it will come in handy.

please let us know how you're doing.
