I have recently been experiencing pains, weakness and strange sensations in my left arm, leg, face and in my back as well as occasional pressing head pain. After a neurological examination by my gp showed Left Side weakness I have been referred for an MRI. No appointment through yet (not sure how long referral takes, can anyone shed any light??)
In the meantime I am trying my hardest not to search my symptoms online so that I don't panic myself unnecessarily. However everyone else seems to be diagnosing me and I know its because they care but its stressing me out! My Mother in law says I've had a stroke, my husband thinks its a trapped nerve and my Mum keeps coming up with all sorts of things and telling me I look ill and need to go to A&E!
I am so fed up, just want to have some answers... sorry for the rant, just need to vent...
