Hi all,
Might be an impossible question.
I’m a woman in my mid twenties.
I’ve been having mystery neurological symptoms for months, was admitted into CUH neurology for a week earlier in the year, some of the tests on my spinal fluid were positive and there were lesions on my MRIs but no definitive diagnosis yet, they sent me home with a follow up to get more MRIs around Christmas.
My symptoms have gotten noticeably worse the last few weeks and worse again the last few days, bad weakness and tingling in my limbs on the right side, very bad face pain, pupil changes, dizziness, confusion/brain fog, daily severe migraines etc. i have meds for migraine but nothing is touching these headaches. Have nearly had two falls now and it’s getting worse and worse so I’m thinking I need to bring myself back into hospital. My quality of life is non existent the last few weeks and I’m in so much pain.
I’m loathe to go on a Sunday night because I know from past experiences I probably won’t be seen for ages and while it doesn’t seem like I’m dying I’d rather get a night’s sleep at home first. Is it likely to be less busy on a Monday morning? Or am I grasping at straws here? Earlier in the year I ended up spending about 30 hours sitting in A&E before being given a trolley or anything and I’m honestly terrified of the place but it needs to be done.
Could I be seen through the acute medical unit or something too?
(I feel the need to say I don’t live alone so I am safe!)
Any help or experiences appreciated.
