No, I haven't even thought that those could be options and that honestly is freaking me out a little more now. I know that with today's technology, you can live a relatively normal life with either of those diseases, but I'm actually horrified right now to think that I have either. I know that you're trying to help and I appreciate that so much, but do you actually think that is a possibility with everything I've mentioned?

I did a Life Story for the MJ Fox Foundation. They are tracking symptoms, so I wrote 3 pages, tellin g them that they don't need to know about Right Now, they need the full story, so I basically gave them my medical history beginning with the 2nd grade migfraines, straight thru the day I wrote the Story. Let me bore you with my symptoms...let me have you loopk for similarities, okay? Here goes:
Miraines, sleep apnea, disturbed sleep, vision changes, sweating/chills attacks, fatigue, balance difficulties, Raynaud's, constipation, diarrhea, Female angina, easy and frequent to stress out, anxiety, loss of strength in limbs, Quick to ANGER (I scream, I swear, I cry, I holler), depression, irritability, sciatica attacks, hypoglycemia, borderline diabetic (!!??), Osteopenia, Osteoarthritis, itchy skin, dry eyes, itchy eyes, back pain, swalloowing disorder, globus sensation, GERD, weak and unsteady in early AM, Grand Mal seizures, sensitivity to temperature.
Dlo I think it's a possibility? I personally think that you, like me have a bunch of things going on simultaneously, and I also think some day someone will wake up and say "Hey, aren't a,b,g,h,r all ONE thing? And how about c,d,e,j,k,z arfe all Another single thing???" I don't thin k anyone out there is looking at the whole picture, and tons opf us with multiple problems are falling thru the cracks every single day - and it sucks.

I would get the tests results and input from the doctors before making any assumptions. I had some frightening neurological symptoms in 2023 which got me so anxious I was convinced I had either Parkinson’s or ALS. I actually had planned my early retirement because I just knew I had a life changing condition. But, it turns out I had neither. I actually was diagnosed with a vitamin deficiency (B12) and post covid syndrome. I got treatment and many of my symptoms are much improved.
One good thing from that experience is that I started talk therapy for the tremendous anxiety I was experiencing, which contributed to my neurological symptoms. That has been a great help.
I hope you can get your diagnosis very soon and they can figure out how to help your issues.
