Hello all! Wanted to let you all know this is an old friend under a new user name!
Anyways, I've been in a bad spot the past 8 weeks. Not sure if it's mast cell related, psychological, or if something even more sinister is going on. I'm so scared.
Long story short, I'm not sleeping at all-total insomniac, I have 24 hour vertigo, can't eat, having panic attacks and mental and physical anxeity constantly. Body is stuck in fight or flight. Pins and needles feeling in body. And I feel very detached. I just can't take it anymore:(
I saw an ENT (ears nose throat) doctor earlier this week regarding the vertigo. He had me do a CT scan of the brain to rule out tumors, aneurysms and the like. Unfortunately as you all know, we shouldn't use contrast dye. I told the doctor that and he said it wouldn't be a great image, but it's better than nothing.
I called today to get the results and the doctor is gone until Monday. I told the receptionist I was very anxious for the results and could not wait until Monday. She told me that "it looks like everything is normal, but you'll have to wait to hear from the doctor".
I'm just worried that without the contrast dye, we're going to miss something. I want to be happy that she said everything "looks" normal, but I'm just not convinced because of no contrast dyes. I know aneurysms can be very tiny. I am so scared and full of anxiety my body is literally shaking 24 hours a day.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for reading
