Hi Tien,

 

Waiting on test results can be excrutiating, especially if you are testing for MS.  The symptoms you mention could be related to MS, but they could also be caused by other health problems.  It's difficult not to worry but that is my recommendation for right now.  When you do see your doctors, please don't be afraid to ask questions and definitely insist upon some type of answers.  Good luck.

Don't worry, whatever it is just start a plan of action to care for yourself and kids. Educate yourself about whatever the test results reveal. Seek pros in that field to treat you. Have faith and stay strong. You will find strengths you never knew you had! To worry is to waste your energy on what you may not be able to control. Focus on what you CAN control. Seek out the comfort and support of friends and family. Your symptoms could be from so many things, it is good the Drs. are taking their time. Peace and hugs.
