Re: not coping

i have had a crazy day @Jynx
i have been going no stop all day.
ive had meetings with the dementia advisory clinics to help keep the process moving and ive also seen my gp. she has given me a referral for an MRI scan for my headaches and wants to rule out MS and a couple of other things. if theres nothing she will runa neck MRI and if nothing again have to go see a neurologist.
then also had pops drs and another meeting and finally just got back home now

Re: not coping

That has been a very busy day for you @outlander

Glad to hear you got a referral for a MRI. Not that you want anything to show up, but I hope it does give you some answers.

Hoping you can take it easy tonight and do something nice for yourself.

Re: not coping

Wow @outlander that is such a hectic day! Aww I hope that all these appts do turn up something (I mean not that I'm hoping something is awry, more just that you can get clarity on what's happening so you can address it). Do you have more hectic days coming ahead or you get to rest tomorrow?

Re: not coping

i got what you were coming from @Jynx i dont want another problem but answers would be nice

i dont really have many days off to be honest. i have alot of cash in hand work coming so my days off will now be used for that work as well. tomorrow is a little less busy and id really like to go for a walk while pop is out with his care workers so if i can everything done early then i can go for a walk while pop is out before work

Re: not coping

I'm glad that you could get in quickly for the MRI @outlander Hopefully it does rule things out and then you can go on from there. It's good that the gp is not just ignoring it and actually is being proactive.

Re: not coping

i actually got the scan bulk billed @Snowie because theres headaches and stuff involved with some suspicions so the clinic has said it can be bulk billed
