Confused

I am trying to be under care of a doctor. I have seen a few at the hospital and two GP's. They all cant work out what is wrong. I really didn't hit my head that hard, and didn't think anything of it. But that night I had a concussion. I didn't take it easy the next few days, and a week later I experienced dizziness & felt sick. Since then my vision has been funny too. Those with a few other symptoms have been present every waking hour since (2 months ago)

I am pushing for an MRI. But it is at a hospital 19hours away and I have to pay for it myself even though the doctor here referred me to have it done.

I just don't know whats wrong I have had major anxiety and stress though all this. But I don't know if its part of it or if its because I had doctors telling me it could be anything from stress to MS or a tumor/cancer. And they just cant tell me for sure what is wrong.

I just feel like my world is upside down and I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

That is pathetic, really. I'm really sorry that no professional has come up with it as a possible diagnosis. When I was in hospital they actually gave me a whole load of information on it and what to expect.


Another thing, I hope the health food shop told you about St Johns Wort. It makes the pill (and other meds I am pretty sure) ineffective. Not sure if you are taking it but it would be worth making sure it isn't going to interract with any of the other medications you may be taking.
