Driving myself to the verge of insanity
Hi all,
I appreciate there are so many threads about this, but I feel I need an outlet for my worry if it's ok to share with you all.
Around a month ago, I noticed a heaviness/stiff feeling in my left leg. I didn't take too much notice, but a few days later I started to get fasciculations in both legs, the type that looks like worms/insects under the skin. This has been relentless for the last month and driving me insane- I have asked my husband to check and he can see it too so I know I'm not exaggerating things in my mind.
I have become fixated on whether I am walking strangely and whether or not one leg is thinner than the other. I have been to the doctor who has referred me for an MRI head scan- for some reason he seemed to think I was concerned with MS, even though I explicitly told him how worried I was about the dreaded ***
It still feels like my left leg does not belong to me and as if I am watching my every step when walking...I am petrified I am going to trip up or fall at some point.
I have arranged to see a neurologist this week paying privately as I am completely consumed with fear and worry.
Can anyone relate to this? As it has only been a month, I am worried it is going to progress and become worse leading to the worst case diagnosis.
I appreciate if you've read this far!
Thanks all,
Mark
