Paranoia

I have a confirmed diagnosis of a demylination disease attack Dr says now its a wait and see if it was a one off or MS.

I have felt fine for a couple of months but now I’m tired again I have nerve pain in my left arm I keep feeling all tingly and I keep flipping between being convinced its another attack and deciding that I might just be working too much ( I am doing almost double my usual hours at work.)

I was given the number to phone to get the MS nurses number if I had another attack but I don’t want to phone if I’m just being paranoid, every little tinge makes me worry, I tend to be a bit of a hypochondriac anyway and I don’t want to bother the nurse if its all in my head.

Has anyone else had this internal struggle? Trying to decide if its worth getting looked at or if you just need to sleep it off?

I really don’t know what to do

Hello Trixie,

If your doctor gave you the phone number of a specialist nurse it’s because he WANTED you to call him/her. MS Nurses have experience of neurological disorders in general, not just MS.

If you’re worried (and I can tell that you are) then phone that number. Before the weekend. Let us know how you get on.
