On the one that needs the MRI to rule out, try to not fret too much until you have a definite reason to. I know--absolutely retarded thing to say. I'm a huge worrier--anxiety disorders and ocd with my O being worries about disease, sickness, etc, so I get it!!

The two that are definite are NOT dangerous in and of themselves! So...yay! That's actually good news. The underlying condition could be an issue, but the two conditions they the underlying issue is causing are not, so try to let it go until you know more. Or just don't worry until you have a reason to.

God, I feel so inadequate trying to give any sort of advice--hopeful, inspiring, or otherwise. I just really relate, also having mental issues myself and a son who has put me through the wringer with health issues.

I hate to say this, but whether or not you can take this on right now, you have to. For you son, you have to. It may be the hardest thing you deal with and it may be more than you can take, but try to rely on the support that you have and then get some more and try try try to have hope.

I'm a crappy advice-giver. GAH! My heart goes out to you and to your son and your family. It will be ok. All in all, it doesn't sound life threatening or like something that cannot be managed, so try to find some hope or solace in that. I'm still a crappy advice-giver. I wish I could say something useful. We're ALL here for you, all cyber and whatnot though we are....
Thanks for this!
