Freaking myself out?!?!?
« on: May 01, 2016, 04:00:34 pm »
Ok... I hope y'all bear with me until I am able to meet with my neurotologist to get more specifics.  One thing I have been noticing the last week or so is that my neck seems to be a bit stiff and achey.....with a bit of a headache in the back of my head right up from my neck....but it's on the opposite side of my AN.  Could this possibly be a symptom or from stress...?

InnerGrace,
Sorry you are having to wait to see your Dr. Maybe you can speak to him early this week and relieve some of your stress and questions.

I don't know if it would be symptoms of the AN for sure, pre-surgery,,,I have heard of it post surgery,,

But it surely could be stress and/or " excessive researching ",,,, straining from reading up on this new diagnosis on a computer/laptop/iPad. Especially since it has just started bothering you.

Sending hugs and hopes that you will get some answers this week!!

...lol, Jane.  Text neck. I was thinking..(hoping?) the same thing.  I think until I get to actually talk to the doc, I probably won't be able to stop the intense research.
