I absolutely hate it. I am due a muscle biopsy and nerve test soon and I constantly check my phone waiting for the phone call. 😥 glad it's not only me feeling like this.xx

I push it to the back of my mind until its time to go and get the results, I dont dwell on it. No point worrying when you dont know what the outcomes going to be. You'll know soon enough xxx

I am full of HORRIBLE ANXIETY while waiting for results...when I can't take the built up of feelings , I call the Dr and ask if my tests are back...Actually that turned out good because my Blood never made it to the lab after 2 weeks of waiting!!! So I did the test again and waited again...then Called and finally went to the DR office to check...and there they were!!...I am sure others will have better ways of coping....But I am to anxious to sit back and wait for that phone to ring...good luck!!

My first group of testing with my High ANA 1:1280 and other markers showed Lupus..Then I had to be tested for Dematamyositis(sp?) because the pathology of my rash are practically the same...so YEA!!! I "just" have Lupus....I was a wreck waiting...I really know how you are feeling...I hope you let me and the est of us know your results!! Again wishing for the Best!! xxleslie
