I'm having my doctors appointment in less than an hour, I will let you all know what they say and how it goes! :O so scary I hate talking about stuff about my life in person or anything to do with doctors/hospitals.
 
Hi alice --
Consider writing down your questions and the doctors answers. And don't be scared! The docs are there to help. Make sure they answer every question to your satisfaction.
 
Totally useless, Said it was panic attacks! I didnt get a chance to say all the symptoms and then forgot to use the note i had written!

Should have taken my mum in after all!! Now my mum knows everything hopefully she can catch something and help me next time, I am extremely frustrated.

Because of my slight learning disability I got really anxious and didnt allow myself to explain properly.

I have an exam on tuesday, going to have to take monday off to revise and do all my work because I just cant cope with it at the moment.

I told her about the seizures but maybe did not explain enough because they were a long time ago and it was confusing, then I explained the headache,flashing lights in my head, tingling, headache down one side and the dream i had tuesday night that could have been a seizure!

Basically the dream I had felt like I had two seizures one after the other.

I told her i,ve lost 5lb in the last week, maybe I should have said I'm used to gaining weight on weight watchers!

I missed out symptoms like
being hot
Bladder/stomach/back feels weird.
I may have/ may not have told her about the fact I thought I missed atleast 30 sec of the register the other day.

She said Its probably panic attacks!!! AHHH this is just too stressful, cannot believe I missed all that stuff!!! :( gona take my mum in next time.
 
How frustrating! Hang in there! And do your best to keep tracking what's happening so you'll be prepared the next time you're able to see the doc. Keeping your mom in the loop should help.

I hope your exam next week goes well.
 
Alice,
That sounds frustrating, sorry the appt didn't go to well.

Good luck with your exam
 
Alice

I am so sorry things did not go well for you but appointments can go like that. Sorry.
