@loribmt thank you for the quick answer and calming words. Thank you for the tips on the panic attack. I did screenshot them for the future.

You are right, the ER might not be a good idea on the weekend. My doctor did tell me to go to the ER if I felt too dizzy and that they could admit me and do some tests again. Therefore, I am not sure what to do, if I should wait until Monday end of the day or Tuesday?

I also just feel that it's hard to work and that I am seeing everyone outside and I can't do things. I also feel that there are no next steps. I did check my inner ear a few months ago...I would also like to check it again as mentioned it was a random doctor, not part of the hospital I am going.

This entire pandemic has left even the heartiest of souls feeling like they’re foundering when it comes to seeking normalcy. I only see friends outside too! Or if we’re in the house we all wear masks. The intimacy of normal friendships, where we can be together eating and laughing while seeing actual smiles, takes it toll. So I’m sure you’re feeling some of that too…along with these debilitating symptoms your having.
I know you’re so frustrated by all of this. But don’t feel that there are no next steps. Your doctors aren’t writing you off so that’s a really positive sign. They are still pursuing answers to your perplexing symptoms. So please stay encouraged by that news. And hopefully the genome sequencing returns soon too so that you can see those results.
Definitely, if you feel horribly dizzy, follow the advice of your doctor and don’t wait until Monday or Tuesday.
Is there anything you can take for the dizziness? When I get vertigo occasionally, I take Benadryl, which is an over the counter anti histamine. It helps take the dizziness away. It might be something to try.
If your MRI is scheduled for Monday, I wouldn’t delay having that done, unless you aren’t able to lie on your back comfortably for the procedure if you’re dizzy.
When I have MRIs taken, I request a small dose of a relaxant to help me lie still. I fidget a lot. 😅
Let me know how everything goes! Huge hug!

Good morning, Maria. Thinking of you as you begin your week. I hope you’re feeling much better today. I wanted to wish you good luck with the MRI and let’s hope the doctors have a productive meeting and come up with answers for you.
Are you less dizzy today?
