Hi
I have woken up today with new symptoms of weakness in my arms/hands and my right hand shakes if I hold anything. This is scary as I am right handed too. I have seen my GP about my original symptoms of numbness and tingling in my left hand and foot, and right side of face, and am waiting for my Neuro appointment. I found myself struggling with words at the weekend, but laughed it off as was embarassed. I am scared that I am getting new things happening, and scared that when my appointment comes the Neuro wont believe me. I have told my hubby about my new things this morning and he just says oh. I dont know what he thinks.
I am sorry for going on but I just wanted to tell someone how I feel.

Hi Fizz, no one will tell you you’re mad on here. We’re all suffering really strange symptoms. I know what you mean about the neuro. I’ve got my first appt tomorrow and i’ve been worrying they’re not going to believe me. All I can do is tell them straight and hope they don’t dismiss it. My hubby tends to dismiss all my symptoms, I just get a list of his problems straight back! Keep laughing, it’s a good tactic. I use it around everyone, especially my kids. That way they aren’t worrying and I don’t have to worry about them worrying! 
Hope you get your appt through soon

Thanks Sharon,
Good luck with your appointment. I am feeling very weak and dizzy generally today with the wierd shaky hand thing going on! All good fun eh?!
Fizz
Oh yes, it’s a real barrel of laughs! 
Just take it easy

I think we are all scared.
Certainly i am. I am waiting for the neuro appointment and worried that when i talk with him/her that they wont believe me, or i cant demonstrate my problems on demand.
I have been to see a neurologist about 6 years ago (for problems with balance and memory) and that was not a positive experience.
I too have children and use the ‘ha ha everything is going to be ok’ around them but sometimes i think you need someone to be able to say, well what if everything is not ok’. Luckily i have a good friend coming round tomorrow.

Hi thanks Yvette
I got a phone call yesterday offering me an appointment with the Neurologist on Friday. I am really nervous now!!
Fizz
Fiz,
I rang the secretary this morning who says that it could be thirteen weeks before i get an appointment.
I have rung and got a private appointment (hopefully tomorrow) . I can just about afford it at a push, but i cant afford to wait 13 weeks, if that makes sense.
Hope yours goes well on Friday
Yvette
Hi Yvette
