Health nonsense

Well, here I am again writing about my health, but this time it's physical. As some of you know, I've been troubled for a while by a few seemingly fairly minor things. Pain. Pins and needles. Sleep problems. Trouble concentrating. I've taken these issues individually to previous GPs and been..not fobbed off exactly, but not followed up. I've had numerous blood tests done, which revealed nothing interesting, so each time I was reassured and sent on my way. 

I saw my GP again yesterday and this time it was different. To cut a long story short, I'm being referred to a neurologist to investigate possible Multiple Sclerosis. I've had a further set of bloods done, just to make sure I'm not deficient in vitamin B12, as this can apparently mimic the symptoms of MS. For obvious reasons, I'm hoping this is the answer because it's relatively easy to treat. If not, I'll need to have a range of neurological tests and scans in order to see what's what. 

To say I'm shocked is an understatement. I knew there was something not right, but I hadn't reckoned on it being potentially serious. I haven't got my head round it all as yet, I'm still at the 'WTF?' stage. I'll keep you posted. Just wanted to  let you know what's been going on. 

Thanks all, 

Love
