Having a really bad few days :(

Hi, again everyone i will just write an update for anyone that hasnt read my other posts. Here goes still waiting on dx but i have had an MRI and was told it was highly likely i have MS and was sent for a LP which i had done on Thursday (still sore lol ). Told it wud be 6 week for the results ( i know it take only a few days as i have done these test in work) but anyway i will wait because in a way i dont want to know lol. I am just looking some advice really. I have had such bad depression since the start of all this. One minute i am in tears the next i feel totally numb and empty and dont even feel like talking to anyone. Just getting out of bed and getting a shower is soo hard. I feel like i should get an award just for doing something soo simple. I dont no if i should go to the doctors to get sumthing to help r should i wait to i get a dx and see if i come out of this. Also i feel like i need to get back to work i have been talking to my boss who is great and has said to me that anything that needs to b done will b done. I have a sick line until the 11th of march do i need to talk to my doctor about going back and when do i tell work i will b coming back. Think i need to get in touch with OH. Thanks, Charlene sorry for the long post x

Hi Charlene,

Im sorry to hear you are going through a rough time.

unfortunatly getting a dx is not a fast process, they don’t class ms as an emergency.

If you are feeling down and sad, you really should go and speak to your doctore for some help, you have a lot to deal with at the moment and it is hard.

depression is common with ms (im not saying you have ms) but putting that aside feeling the way you do, im not surprised you feel down.

This is a difficult time all round for you, so please go and see your gp and get some help, dont just suffer it.

I do hope you feel better soon

I think that you should share with the GP the feelings that you have set down so eloquently here.

There is much to be said for fixing the things that can be fixed. If your persistent low mood looks to the GP like something that might respond well to medication or some other intervention, why not go for it? There are no prizes for soldiering on, and it seems to me that you have quite enough on your plate without making yourself tough this out. Please cut yourself a bit of slack, and allow yourself to look around for help.

Good luck.

Thank you pollyanna and alison I think i will head to my gp in the next few days as i cant see this getting better on its own. Hopefully she will have some advice about how to get back to work as i think this would help. hope you are both well Thanks x
