NWR: Health venting..

I took a break for a couple of days from the boards because I was diagnosed last Wednesday with Seizure Disorder. They aren't calling it Epilepsy yet because I've only had 2 unprovoked seizures and they don't know where to go with it from there. All of my neurological tests have come back perfectly normal and they can't figure out what is causing them. My neurologist says it could be from stress and anxiety. I have NEVER suffered from anxiety before but since getting engaged, trying to find a place to live and planning a wedding I have been driving myself crazy! My neuro has now put me on anti-seizure medication which makes me extremely tired and irritable and has also told me that starting a family could be in jeopardy. I guess the reason I'm venting to all of you is because as brides you know the stress of planning a wedding and trying to keep everyone happy and the hope for starting a family. I guess at this point I just feel such an overwhelming fear for the future and I'm not sure what to do about it.
As a side note, FH has been FANTASTIC with all of it which only confirmed more that I am making the right decision in marrying him.. he has been nothing but caring and loving..
Sorry for the venting and the length of this, just needed to get some of it off my chest..

it can be so frustrating when the dr's dont know the answers!
take it easy with the planning, as FW always says when i am stressed 'even if we get married next to a dumpster, i'll be happy because im marrying you'
your FH sounds like a great guy!!

I'm so sorry to hear this! You may need to take a step back though to take care of yourself. No wedding is worth making yourself sick. Make sure that your not going to cause yourself any permanent harm. Hope everything goes well for you!

Re: NWR: Health venting..

Oh no!! Definitely relax and take care of yourself first. Remember all the wonderful positive things to come out of your wedding So glad your FH is being wonderful!

I hope you feel better! Try not to stress take it one day at a time & remember to be happy :)

Feel better! I know it's not easy, but be patient, they will figure it out!

So sorry to hear. I hope you feel better and they find an answer ASAP! Take a break from the wedding planning maybe even consider a more low key event. After all your health is way more important, good luck!

Thanks everyone! You are all so great. Today was a good day, I think my body is finally getting used to the new meds.

I had this weird non stop coughing up clear phlegm, especially at night. Went to a million doctors, X rays, antibiotics, etc, nothing worked. One Dr suspected stress. My coughing is gone, sleeping etc. Left me a couple days before the wedding.

As much as I loved wedding planning, I definitely had weird stress stuff which I thought was weird bc I felt so calm until 3 weeks before when his sister created drama and I realized I was super stressed.
Good luck, I hope it clears up!
