I know how you feel, it would just be great to hear "Your not crazy and it's not stress or anxiety" from a Dr, wouldn't it?

The Neuro didn't tell me I was having anxiety or stress...I told him Neuro said he would be there if any sx show up again and we'll look at it again at that time. His concern never strayed...but how far can you go with testing if it refuses to show up? It's a wait and see with him.

My Gynocologist said my missing period for 5 months was due to stress tho Guess she was right, cuz it's back.

For me, I would just like to determine WHAT took place and why.

Now I have an appt with a PCP and and Therapist....I'm getting to the bottom of whatever it is.

Stress can definitely cause your cycle to be thrown off. And it's pretty normal for you to be anxious and stressed... I think it's cool that you went ahead and told the neuro! He probably appreciates the honesty.

However, cognitive impairment (due to anxiety) is very different from cognitive impairment due to MS. It's definitely an organic failure in my case, because it's intermittent. (Thank goodness! I couldn't work full time if it were around full time.)

I think we've already talked about neuro-psych exams on this thread... I'm a-hankerin' to get one myself, as I want to know where I am right now. I hear it's a long tedious testing process, but worth it.

I heard that too Jen. I was told 7 hours with a lunch break. I can see the value in it. When I talked to my new therapist today, I asked him if it would help identify emotional issues, and he said not the way I'd like it too, but I'll keep that on the back burner in case I want to go there...and as always, follow thru on every lead until it's all crossed off.

Funny, I never asked for a "Santa's Wishlist" before....

Shes making a list
Checking it twice
Gonna find out which doctor is right

la de doo de da da de dum.......

All together now....

This is a good point for me to make with my Dr.'s, stress ALWAYS messes up my period and I haven't missed a beat in a loonnngggg time I told my neuro is was having any stress right now.

The stress was working 14 hour days, 7 days a week....on my feet. Exhaustion was certainly a factor in that stress, like an athlete who works their body too much....never lost the period before and it could be premenopause.

Goodness, yes that is stressful.
