Trying to keep my anxiety in check!!!
« on: February 12, 2007, 03:35:04 pm »
Hi all,
 
As you are well aware, I'm really nervous for my next MRI.  I meet with Dr. Lalwani on 3/7 and will schedule a MRI after that.  I'm having these symptoms that are driving me to believe the tumor is back.  I just have that gut feeling.  I'm trying to remain positive but not always easy.  Anyway, thanks for listening!!!

I Know exactly how you are feeling,  I just went through a scare myself, I am  having symptoms on the non AN side. Had my MRI last week, all is fine. We think it may be a virus attacking the nerve. I had my mind set that I had an AN on my good side.

Please know that stress can aggravate symptoms,  some of mine have actually calmed down since last week.

We are here for you Jen and wish I could help calm your nerves. I know you will be fine!!!

hugs,
