Getting better then worse

[Giarose25]

I began feeling like myself the last two days. Today I went out to school and listened to music and enjoyed a nice wand feeling like myself. I took a shower sat down and now have this ticklish feeling on the right side of my hip down to my calf and it’s annoying and making me want to move my leg. It’s annoying and uncomfortable and of coarse I’m worried again . This is so frustrating it’s one thing after the next

That feeling in your hip area may have just come and gone. But the second you felt it, you began to focus in on it. ; Here we go again '. thus making what could have been something small into something much bigger. All about the mind and the thought process. If you hadn't of thought of that pain as anything setious at all, it might have just went away after a while. Once you thought about, you then reacted to it. These two combined would start to make you feel anxious and bring on your anxiety symproms. I can get calf pain if I ever go on a long walk or do the gardening. To me it just happens. No big deal. I don't worry about it. Because I view it as normal. Thus it goes away in no time at all.

I think it’s definitely self doubt that i am dealing with though I’m happy to say I am eating, sleeping, laughing, back at school and starting to feel like I will be “ok”. I don’t know how stupid this question is but do you really think my neurologist could rule out MS that fast after an MRI she was so persistent and even wrote on my chart that she reassured me I did not have it that I’m just like wow. I really allowed google to take over and now I feel so stupid and silly! But better! A lot better! Day by day more like myself!

remember that neurologists see patients with MS EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. this makes them pretty adept at spotting concerning symptoms. this is why it is absolutely worthless for people like us to google symptoms. despite how much you've read, you don't truly know about MS or how it manifests. in all honesty, you probably don't even truly understand what the symptoms mean in terms of that specific disease. for example, people on this board often freak out about twitching muscles, thinking it's MS or ALS but what they're describing is nothing like the twitching associated with either of those diseases. so why do so many people freak out about it? because some website listed "twitching" as a symptom without any real explanation. no amount of google will provide you with the knowledge someone with a medical degree has which is why people like us need to leave doctoring to our doctors and trust their opinions when they give it.

You’re right about that I went into that office and probably drove that poor lady crazy during my follow up with “my knowledge “ only to be answered with “ theoretically it can show up in other places” but not likely mind you I thought I knew it all! Thank god she was kind and very patient with everything she was telling me because I was a piece of work!

it's really great that you had a doctor that was thorough, attentive and kind. remind yourself of this when the doubt sets in. you received a very thorough exam (including scans of your brain!) from a doctor that specializes in the diseases you're worried about and they found no reason to be concerned!

I will! And it feels good to feel chilled out again *knocking on wood* plus my baby girl looks very happy to have her mommy back and smiling! Can’t get anymore rewarding than that!

dang right! just remember, when that anxiety or seeds of doubt set in again, that YOUR ARE OK! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG! AND YOU KNOW THIS BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN CLEARED BY A PERSON THAT SEES THIS STUFF EVERYDAY!
