Need Support

Hi All. Not doing so well. Over the past couple of weeks I've developed a bad headache and tingling pins and needles up my left shoulder neck face. I went and saw the physician assistant who works with my Doctor and I have to go for blood work and an xray of neck and chest tomorrow. Mean while my head is killing me. Why not an MRI of head and neck? I'm freaking out thinking I have a brain tumor or god knows what. My family is yelling at me because I didn't see the doctor just the physician asst. And here I sit at work.....trying to work while my head is going to explode. Shouldn't I be getting an MRI of head and neck? I called and left a message a the Doctor's office yesterday but haven't received a call back. I almost went to the emergency room last night. And now I'm at work? I'm losing my mind:((((( In recent weeks I've really hit rock bottom with my anxiety. I'm considering medication again (although Lexapro felt like it was going to kill me!!!) I'm sad and lost and this is so not me. I know you all don't have the answers but a kind word or virtual hug is much needed!!! And right back at ya...HUGS for all.

Hugs coming your way Beth! Hang in there. I agree with SC that it sounds like a pinched nerve issue. Try not to worry. We're here for you!

Hey Beth,
I am sorry you are feeling anxious.
It sounds like as S.C. said, sometimes I have exactly the same symptoms and after a while they go away.

If headache doesn't wake you up from your sleep and if your symptoms are on and off, then I really don't think it's something serious.

Sending positivity and hugs, keep us updated! <3

{{{{{{{{BETH}}}}}}}} Sending you a big hug!!

I'm sorry you are feeling so down, but thankful you are reaching out for support. I would for sure make sure you discuss your on going headache with your doctor. In the meantime, have you tried Migraine Excerdin? I highly recommend it, it used to knock my migraines or really bad headaches out.

I hope you feel better soon sweety, keep us updated. :)
