I feel like I've been doing a pretty good job keeping it together over the past several months. With all the doctor appointments, symptoms, and unknowns I could be driving myself and my family nuts!
Today is not quite so good. I have my LP tomorrow and I'm getting nervous. Not necessarily nervous about the procedure (although it's a bit scary) but the results.
No matter what the LP shows, it's not good. If it's clean, we still don't know what is going on with me and there's not much left to test! If they find something, it's likely not a good thing either.
As much as I don't want any disease or disorder, I want to put a name on whatever it is and get whatever meds and treatment I need so I can begin to move forward.
I'm sure many of you have felt or feel the same way, so I know I'm not in a unique position. That's why I'm putting my thoughts down here where people understand. Thanks for listening.
PS- If anyone has some great hints to help avoid the post-LP headache let me know!
