I have an MRI today after my left leg decided a few weeks ago that it's on an indefinite strike, and my left arm has developed a slight weakness (only noticed the arm as I drive and thought garage had messed with my handbrake during MOT!). After 2 visits to A&E and a GP appointment, it was decided to send me for scans, though I'm not sure what they want to rule out.
The logical side of me is trying to ignore the family history of strokes and remind me that my lifestyle is different to those family members (I don't smoke, rarely drink, eat fairly healthily) and plus I'm only in my 30s so it's unlikely to be that.
Sadly, my logical side is getting shouted down by the part of me that worries over everything. It's being made worse by the fact I have no one to go to the appointment with me or meet me after to try and distract me from worrying.
I really want to believe it's just a further deterioration of my CFS/ME, but I really can't get the worry of "what if?" out of my head.
I just need someone to reassure me everything's going to be OK.
