but, things are not getting better. My physical symptoms seem to be getting worse. I have an MRI scheduled for this week, and I am going out of my mind. My husband sits on the couch, as a limp around in pain and misery (and depression) taking care of his needs, the house, and the kids. He won't talk to me about what is going on with me, he only says that he "knows" the MRI will show that everything is normal.

Everything is NOT normal. I have numbness in arms and legs, pain in joints. Headaches, etc. Something is seriously wrong with me.

With my husband's attitude, and if I have something debilitating, there is NO ONE to help me, no one to take care of my kids. I am beginning to think I should start to look for some sort of nursing home for my needs right now.

Sorry. I am so scared.

I had a lot of the same problems you are having. I was SO scared! I would lay down every night with my children and wonder if it would be my last. I had bad chest pain, numbness and tingling down my left side, including my face and legs. I would feel very faint and dizzy.I also had a mri of my brain. I found out on my own that it was effexor.
Are you currently on any meds?
A few months ago my husband actually got mad at me for going to the e.r. He threw the insurance card at me and said everything will be normal. The nurse was amazed that I drove myself. My potassium was 2.5, which is dangerously low. I could have died had I listened to him. It's still hard for me to forgive him, although he's apologized many times. Even if everything had been normal, atleast it would have given me peace of mind. In my opinion, he had no reason to act like that.
Good luck to you. I hope you find out what is causing you all of this misery.

Momi,

Good luck with your MRI this week. I hope that everything turns out ok.

I know that the mind can do terrible things to our bodies and make us have all kind of symtoms, just try and stay away from the internet.

I am sorry to hear that your husband is not to supportive. So many things can cause the symtoms that you are having try not to think the worst. I know it is hard not to.

I send my faith and courage your way. I am sure everything will be fine for you.

Take care
