Being referred to Neurologist

0 Replies

Was back at the doctors this morning as my thyroid is back to normal but still having tingling/burning&cold spots on legs/off balance/twitching/tiredness. She said my symptoms dont match any one illness which makes her think its anxiety. She asked if I was taking my Setraline and I told her no i’m not depressed im just worried about these symptoms. She did ask a lot of questions about the twitching like where it is and how often I get it. She said she will refer me to Neurologist as they are the experts and she doesnt think she is going to be able to convince me anyway. She went back to october and started asking questions about the previous bout of this - how bad was the dizziness, how weak were my legs, did i fall over... I wish I asked her “what are you thinking right now?” I dont know if she was getting at something or if she was just gathering more info. She then asked if she could keep a hold of my symptom list. Just wondering now if she herself was starting to think more into this by the end of my visit.

I knew all of this wouldnt make me feel better - i probably feel worse now that im being referred but im this way with everything - if something doesnt sit right I need to get to the bottom of it so thats what im trying to do. Im probably just going to feel awful now until my appt with neurology which could probably take months. Think i’m my own worst enemy at times. Just feel like I cant focus on feeling better as I dont actually believe its anxiety. I have my first CBT session in an hour but i just feel like its all pointless because i dont even know if its anxiety. Anyway just had to get my thoughts out.
