It's all in my head?

At 15.00 today I went in to get the results of an MRI on my jaw, to find a growth in my pituitary gland instead. 

Being refered to neurology to investigate.

I have had headaches, migraines and dizzy spells for years, and I was told time and again t was my anxiety. 

It is jarring to have a different meaning to the phrase 'its all in your head'.

I have told my husband and friend, not sure how to begin to approach with the rest of my family. My COVID delayed wedding reception is on the 8th April.

Just feeling stunned and lost.

    Hi 14 scorpio11,

    I am so sorry to hear that this is a different problem that that which you originally thought it to be. Still, it is good to hear that the problem has finally been identified.  I hope that you don't have too long to wait to see a neurologist and that they can do something to alleviate your symptoms.

    It must be a relief to you to know that you perservered and that the problem has finally been found. I hope that you don't need many more tests to identify the extent of the problem. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Congratulations on your wedding and I hope that you manage to enjoy your delayed wedding reception, despite having this hanging over you.

    Kind regards,
