I am 100 % positive I do not have a brain tumor. And no I still do not know the results yet. Heart Arythimia's (sp) are very common in my family and my doctor is aware and, that is his next step if the MRI comes back normal. He is also aware that from my black outs I have fallen down the stairs at least 8 times in the past 2 years. So he will be doing some xrays and other tests on my back because, that is probably where my pain and numbess is coming from.
My problem in the past is my last doctor I had. Stacked appt's. 1 patient every 15 mins. We stopped seeing her after she misdiagnosed my husbands cancer and he had it for over 2 years before she finally listened to us and xray'd his leg. Before that, she chose to xray his stomach, even with blood tests coming back all out of whack. She sat around with her thumb up her butt. Thinking that my husband was after pain med. because, when he would go to her he would complain about severe pain in his leg and hip. It took her 2 years to finally listen and order a stupid xray.
When I would go to her with symptons that I was having ( which I finally went to our new doctor about only after I saw how good he was with my kids and my husband. ) she would tell me to take vitamins, get more sleep, and sent me to have a hernia checked?!?!?! Thats what kind of doctor we use to have and what turned me off from ever wanting to go to a doctor and discuss my health problems. I figured my previous doctor was probably right and that I just needed more sleep, vitamins and exercise. Go figure, she is a doctor, I trusted her. Till my husband was finally diagnosed with cancer.
I will be the first to say I have problems with anxiety and depression but, when your driving your car and suddenly you go blind in your left eye for no reason. Or you black out twice in a row within a few mins. and mess yourself. And since the black out have been having trouble with vision, hearing and memory. There has to be something more than anxiety going on. Unless, I truely have finally bought the whole farm and just need to be taken away by the men in white coats.
Ok, enough with the ranting. I am off to bed. It's 10:48pm here and I know my little ones will be up early to play with their new toys.
Take Care all and Hope you had a Great Christmas.
