Update on Brain Tumor Scare

[Zesane]

Hello Everyone.

I'd first like to say think for those who have responded and given me reassurance. I'm very greatful I found this community to help cope with the insanity that is my anxiety.

As for whats been going on...

Recently a have gone to 2 other doctors. The first doctor (my family doctor) gave me a neurological exam and stated that it was normal. The secound doctor was an ophthalmologist. She looked at my optic nerves and did various other neurological eye exams. All seemed to be normal and healthy.

Of course after receiving reassuring news my anxiety continues to play mind tricks. I feel I'll never truly be satisfied until I get an MRI. It's been very stressful dealing with these thoughts and undiagnosed symptoms.

My symptoms still continue to run my life, but new ones have appeared sadly.

I still have dizziness (slight unsteadiness). Strange burning sensation in my left sholdure (breife and occasional). Strange facial and eye sensations. And now finger twitching when using them. The fingers feel weak but actually aren't. I do have headache here and there, but they are not sever or positional.

I'm still anxious and fear for the worst when these symptoms come up. I'm hoping everything starts to clear... at some point.

Thank You all.

Had all of those symptoms and still have some due to tension. You'd be surprised how messed up you get from being tense (and we don't even notice how tense we are while we're actually tense).

Yea. School and life have been pretty stressful lately. These symptoms are making it 100× worse for me.

I know it sounds like dumb hippie science, but I'd be curious to know how you feel after one week of stretching twice a day and paying attention to keeping your shoulders dropped when possible. Also try rolling your head on your neck after stretching and try to be as ergonomically positioned as you can while sitting, etc. I bet you'll see a noticeable improvement really quickly (couple of days even).
