Just a quick update before I head out of town for my MRI.  Made it safely to and from work yesterday. That foggy feeling finally resolved.  My leg is better today, also.  Still a slight sense of numbness and uneven gait, but not nearly as bad as it was Sunday.  My left hip is very sore from having to compensate.  I have noticed that my anxiety level is increasing.  I've never had a problem with that, so it is new to me.  Whenever I think about my PCP ignoring these things for 12 years, and especially for the last three years after the positive Lyme test, my chest gets tight, I get dizzy and nauseated, and my heart races.  Well, I will update more later.  There won't be any news about the MRI until next Tuesday, of course.  It's gonna be a loooooooong week!  I hope you all are doing well today.  I can't tell you how comforting it is to know you are here to turn to when I have questions or just need to vent.

I\'m glad that you did alright driving. I hope the mri will get to the bottom of all your symptoms, and you will have an answer to whether it is ms or lupus or something else. I\'m sure it will seem like a very long week to you. Do your best. everyone would have some anxiety being in your situation. Hang in there. You\'ll gt some answers soon. be patient. I know easier said than done.
