Hi everyone.
Let me start with kudos to everyone that is struggling to officially find out what it is that is making them feel "not right" in one way or another (or several).
I am super new to limbo and am already frustrated as it has resulted in my inability to work. I drive city transit bus and had my license pulled due to vision and vertigo issues among many other issues that wouldn't necessarily affect my ability to drive.
At this point I have only one regret and that is that I haven't been keeping records of symptoms and time frames etc...As a typical woman and Mom I have spent the last 2 years brushing off, ignoring and excusing different symptoms as stress.
Aside from the lack of control in figuring this out and the constant state of waiting for appointments, waiting for results, waiting for the next good day followed by waiting for the next bad day and then the next really bad day.
Stuggling with symptoms that can't necessarily be seen by others and that feeling that family and friends (and my employer) don't really understand why I'm off work. I look capable of working and doing all the normal things I would do daily.
Feeling guilty that I can't teach my daughter to drive without impeding on a friends schedule. Guilt for having to move myself, 2 kids and 3 pets into my Moms apartment because I can't afford to live anywhere while on sick benefits and an uncertain financial future.
This process is going to take so much longer as I live in a smaller city with limited specialists and long wait times for appointments. Almost hoping for a serious event to force an MRI or some other testing to get some answers.
I don't know which will be worse, finding out there is something seriously wrong, a disease, or some other condition or finding out there's nothing wrong and being left wondering what all these symptoms are and why I'm having them.
Ugh. I really don't know how some of you have managed to stay sane for as long as you have. It's only been 2 months since I had my license taken away.
