Can't decide if it's good news or bad

Well I went today to get the heart tests done to see if my migraines come from a hole in my heart. I actually got very hopeful that they would say yes so it could be fixed and I would have my life back. Well no luck I am back to square one. So now it is blood work, yet again, and a new neuro to double check if I have or don't have MS.
Today I just feel like I can't cope with anymore crap. My DH is still in CA fighting wildfires and I haven't been able to talk to him today, I burned myself this morning because I was so nervous, I was late for work and then I had to do these tests all morning. Not to mention just as I was starting the TCD I got the little spots of light floating all through the air so YUP what else I had a migraine kick me in the ass right then and there.
I have had these for so long and I just deal with them but everything feels like I am drowning right now. Any help on how to cope when you feel this messed up??

I don't have many answers for you. Sounds like you have it pretty bad. I would think it's a good think not to have a hole in your heart. I hope you don't have MS either. The migraines are killers. As far as coping, maybe you can talk to your DH real soon about it and for heaven's sake try to get some rest. Rest, rest, rest. I'm sorry I can't help you, but I do care. You stomped me, and looks like everyone else LOL!!!

It is good news, but I can definitely relate to being disappointed when a simple answer turns out to be out of reach.

Drowning ain't a fun place to be.

Thanks you two. I was just really hoping for the simple fix after going through this for 18 years now. I will just buck up and go for more testing. It is good I don't have the heart issues that my family has in the long run!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
