hi just to drop by and thank everyone who responded to me earlier aka firepipersnurse. i had my mri on tuesday and now i am in absolute panick everytime the phone rings. i have an appt on monday with my neurologist and did well yesterday but today i'm on edge and refuse to take an ativan as i don't want to get in to the habit. most normal people would call the doctors office but no not me i'd rather think awful things and wait anxiously.....any links to becoming more assertive? i've been feeling a little bit more optimistic because in a sense i think some of the things happening to me are not related. i've had knee problems and i recently pulled my back so that could explain some things going on. i definately have been spending too much time searching the medical sites. it's almost addictive but just adds to my anxiety and i feel like my body can almost take on some of these symptoms....crazy huh?

thanks again for your support and keep it coming along with positive thoughts.

thanks
katie

hi katie, try not to look up those medical sites if you can...they never help us anxious obsessive people...i should know (and take my own advice:) hang in there and update us when you hear from your doc...and if you need anything else like support or just to vent

If you're going to wait for the results, Katie, then keep busy. Do something you like. Listen to a relaxing CD. The time will pass quicker. Let us know what the results are. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. Good luck! Don't forget to take some deep breaths when you're feeling anxious. (((hugs))) jan
