12/10 UPDATE: Bad news and Good News
3 days ago
General
All right, bad news first
My doctor called me and let me know that there were multiple lesions on my brain and though he couldn't say for certain it is consistent with multiple sclerosis
Good News!
I'm not crazy. Ive been begging and pleading with the doctors to please give me an MRI for at least the past 2 or 3 months and they brushed me off
Ive already got a referral to the neurologist so they can go into my MRI in greater detail and then come up with a game plan.
I haven't really looked into MS treatment yet so I'm not sure how quickly I can get back to normal, or if thats evn possible. But Im looking on the sunny side here! Its not a mystery anymore! I know this is big, life altering news really but I think I'm kind of just relieved or in shock at the moment
Thanks again to everyone for sticking with me and your encouragement. I'll update again as soon as I learn more.
EDIT:
I love you all so much and thank you for all the kind notes and encouragement. I don't really have IRL support outside of my little family and so I really treasure all of you! I feel like my words sometimes aren't able to convey it, but I sincerely appreciate you all!

Unfortunately since this is just one more block on the teetering Jenga tower that is my medical history I'm just going to wait until I talk to the neurologist before I do anything. Thank you though!
The neurologist appointment can't get here fast enough. Its like... I know there's something there but not the extent of it and somehow that's almost as frustrating.
Almost.
