Wish I Could Say Things

[emmie]

are ok, but they are not, sorry. i haven't been around but this is all too much. Weight loss is significant and no one knows why, except
to suggest acute anxiety. body sensations like tingling in feet, legs is on and on, so posting on anything interesting or chat as before hasn't been my focus. so nothing positive im afraid.

[emmie]

i can feel body sensations all day, it doesn't go, i have one med but its not helping, plus the hearing has gone through the roof, i can hear my neighbours quite clearly, and a rustle of a leaf yards away, planes like it was near by to me, i had it once before years ago, but this is now over 4 months on, so frazzled doesn't come close.

[emmie]

tilly i know, however this has become all consuming, it shouldn't but it has, the things i like to do have gone the by.

[Tilly2]

Are you taking medication for anxiety?

[emmie]

one small one, but quite frankly no idea if its a combo of physical neuro and mental, the constancy of the sensations is vile. the tingling in legs and feet is dire.

I think you need to go back to your GP and demand that you have a proper referral to a decent psychiarist.

[Tilly2]

......or neurologist.

I missed your posts emmie, anxiety is a pig it takes us to some nasty places, rashes, weepiness etc. but alas no weight loss for me. I'm suffering a bit at the mo and coming on here takes my mind off it tbh.

[237SJ]

I`m not an expert but I don`t think the problem is neurological.

[emmie]

not sure how a psych consultant can help with the constant tingling in feet and legs, and i have see one, but she isn't clear on what's going on either.

[Tilly2]

I'm clutching at straws, 237SJ!

[marval]

I am sorry you are feeling so bad, I can only hope that you get some answers soon.

over time my thyroid has fluctuated but last blood test and visit wasn't conclusive. i feel hot most of the time, abdomen, back, neck and rashes appear, also urticaria, plus these awful deep indentions in the skin which has also been months, over sensitised to everything, i do know that including what i wear.

[emmie]

tilly me too.

[237SJ]

So am I Tilly (didn`t mean to sound superscillious)

[naomi24]

Emmie, I wouldn't attempt diagnosis, but it's good to hear from you. You are missed. I wish you well. x

[Tilly2]

I have a condition called Meralgia paresthetica . Constant tingling in the legs due to a trapped nerve. A neurological complaint. Has that been investigated for you, Emmie?

[Rosetta]

Could you telephone the neuro's secretary Emmie, to see if there have been any cancellations so that your appointment could be brought forward

[emmie]

tilly had mri scan back in january, nothing showed as significant, not to the spinal area, don't even know what they were looking for in the brain part of the scan, and don't understand much of the jargon, and i have tried getting the thing brought forward, but nothing. then i was seeing wavy lines in my eyesight and colours, then as though the things i was looking at wavered, out of focus. yes i admit it i am scared.

[emmie]

all too flaming much.

[Tilly2]

Emmie, you always seem so reasoned and in control. There must be a way back for you. Demand some action from your GP.
