I agree that you need to allow yourself some pampering this weekend. A good massage works well for me. I focus on the music and kind of put myself in a zone and it's amazing how it works.

If massage isn't a good possibility for you, try taking a nice, long, warm (not too warm! remember that heat isn't good for MG) bath while listening to music - whatever will help you to mentally escape the diagnosis for just a while.

You caught the potential problem with your CT scan, and that is now under control, so you can pat yourself on the back for being smart enough to have been on top of that and enjoy at least a few hours this weekend without thinking about Myasthenia!
Just set a time and push all thoughts of tests, diagnosis, doctors out of your mind.

A mini vacation from the stress, so to speak!

Heart Hi Whirlwind!

Hey hon! I have had LOTS of CT scans without contrast - lots!

You seem to be really on top of things - that is great! You are your own best advocate! Don't ever let anyone trivialize your fears/questions. If you have a Dr. that does that, then you need a NEW one!

Hang in there sweetie!

Erin
