Definitely make a list of symptoms and questions for the doc. Let us know how it goes.
 
Please let us know how you get on! Sorry you are having a bad time with it at the momet.
 
Hope everything goes well at the appointment and that it isn't just one big disappointment. I hope someone can go with you too so you don't have the pressure of trying to remember everything the doctor says.
 
Sorry to hear you are having a bad day. I am happy that you were able to get in to see the Doctor today. Please let us know how things are going.
 
well the doctor did some blood work. She got the results back already and surprise surprise everything came back normal.
She gave me some zanex for the blood draw and it seems to have helped the shakiness. So back to i'm crazy thery.I'm supposed to call tomarrow to see if they are going to do anything else.
 
Try not to embrace the "crazy theory". I know we casually toss that around but you're not. Even if you suffer from anxiety and/or experience psychogenic seizures you still are not crazy, and it's still beyond your control and you still need help. I'm glad they still saw you! Even if the bloodwork was normal...and it usually is unless there are thyroid or blood sugar issues or worse. I always used to wish for something to come back abnormal but at least I know that at least part of my body is functioning well and on that part I can lean as well as the people around me.
 
yes they tested my tyroid and blood sugar again. Just tested it back in november but she wanted to rule that out. with the zanex helping it reinforces that it is probably mental, today anyway.i feel so let down everytime i go in and get the same nothing is wrong.
 
hang in there! Your not crazy. When ever your feeling like you do, something is definitley wrong. Keep a list of all of your symptoms and make a follow up appointment, even if you are feeling better.
 
thanks. its kindof strange to hope they find something wrong with me at least then it wouldn't be all in my head. i wonder if i could get a new head.
 
Just got off the phone with the doctor. She thinks all the symptoms are from anxiety so i'm supposed to see her again in two weeks and take zanax as needed. I'm shaking like crazy again so i guess I'll take one now. I guess that is all i can do.
 
I'm sorry. Well, on the plus side, if the zanax helps with anything that's good. It can help you cope. But if the seizures continue, and I think they will, this will help them rule things out. Don't stop believing in yourself and your own inner strength. It has pulled you through this far.
 
Thanks again lj
I guess there is one good thing, I'm still shaky but I dont give a crap:roflmao:
 
You know you better than anyone else. Stick to your guns. I hope you are able to get into the doctor soon. Keep us posted!
