Re: , MRI, dx and fears -- Re: Bill

I absolutely understand this. I've had symptoms for years now, and had a pretty good idea where I'd look when I came to that point. My MRI scared the tar out of me. It's not something I want to do often, but it wasn't too bad I suppose. I didn't get my answers, I only got a weenie of a Neuro. Maybe next time I'll get someone who listens/cares. <gg>

If it is MS, there is life with and beyond it. Even through my fears, I have learned from my Mother and those on this list. There truly are far worse things and while none of us would want MS, it is something life changes for. Not much comfort now, I'm sure. I hope we can help as you move forward.

Hugs,

Hi Becky-

I just need someone to talk to! I haven't been diagnosed with MS. I am going for a test MRI on the 19th of May. I am really scared of the results. I have tingling in my hands and feet (not always) and my muscles feel kind of weak.I have been in good health and don't know what this could be. I am scaring myself and everytime I feel a twitch I think "oh no I have my MS"

Any advice or words of encouragement would be appreciated!

Take care!

Hi :

I totally agree with Challis. An MRI isn't something I would want to do everyday, because I am extremely claustrophobic, and I was fine. (my doctor gave me a mild sedative before the test) The worst part for me was not knowing. After my MRI, we knew. I was convinced I had bone or brain cancer because of the symptoms I was having. MS really beat the alternative for me. My mind was just reeling. I have a great neurologist who I trust totally. You are in a great group here. We all have very broad shoulders for you to lean on.

Good luck. and big hugs,

winnie

Hi ,

I'm one of the bad other things category..I have MS and a brain mass that is inoperable and now can not be radiated. I'm doing fine for now, get scared and cry, but try to be a bigger person. I finally told my son and that was traumatic, I had lots of plans for this time in my life (50 ) but MS and a brain tumor were never in them. I've been working very hard on forgiving my body. I was really mad at me.

Oh well, it can always be worse. I wish you well.
