So now it's not in my head?

Well I got to see another doctor today and he assures me that my sickness is not a result of stress and isn't simply in my head at all. He gave me the longest and most thorough examination I've ever had and he discovered things that no one else had. For example, my left pupil doesn't dialate or contract normally. And in certain positions my body loses it's ability to keep balance on the left side. And a few various other things that all incorporate the left side. Oh! And one patch on my torso that goes in and out of numbness (has gone numb 3 times since it started 3 months ago) won't respond to a single test. He says my cerrebellum is deffinitly involved and so is the lower part of my spine. So I get more tests done soon! Yay. Ah well. Hopefully I'll get an answer soon.

Hehe, I hope so. I see a psychiatrist next week and 2 weeks after that I see a new neurologist so that him and my old one can try to figure it out. The problem is that if I have ALS (which right now is one of the most likely ones) it could be a year and a half before I get my next symptom.
