Just got back from my first appointment with a neurologist and dp's out - so no-one to talk to...
In November I got a headache then some funny symptoms including paralysis which ended up with me being admitted to hospital for 4 days. Since then I've had the paralysis a couple more times, hence today's appointment. The consultant was lovely and thinks it's likely to be an atypical migraine, but is also thinking it could be mild epilepsy. This is something I hadn't even considered - having had a CT to rule out brain tumour, I was thinking it was either TIA or migraine.
Sigh... I'm going to have lots more tests - MRI, Doppler, EEG - and I know it's not the end of the world, but I'm a bit freaked out!
Then he mentioned that the ECG I had in hospital showed up "a couple of minor abnormalities" so the cardiologist wants to see me aswell.
Aarrgghhh - I'm veering into feeling very sorry for myself and worrying there's a fair amount of me that's falling to bits!!
Anyway, that's it - outpouring over!
