  • Hello Nicolajane123, 

    Welcome to our forum. I think it might be worth mentioning these aches in your arms and legs to your doctor when you have your appointment if you haven't done so already. It is normal to feel worried and as if time was on a standstill and that you are waiting forever. Many on this forum will have felt the same and know how agonizing the wait for an appointment, for tests or results can be. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can - I bet your 2 year old little girl will help you with that! - and try and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
