Anyone ever conflicted about going to see a doctor?
I've seen my neurologist for 10 years now, in an attempt to figure out why my legs are extremely weak and more recently why I've been falling down all the time for no reason.
I have an appointment with him next week and I'm just thinking to myself do I really want him to find out what's wrong because of how bad it might be or do I want to remain in the dark.
Stupid right? I don't know...

It isn't stupid to feel that way, but it would be stupid to ignore something potentially serious. Finding out something wrong and actually being able to deal with/manage it is way better than finding out when it's too late. Either way you will still have to experience and cope with all of the same feeling of fear, anger, sadness, etc. I take care of people who avoid doctors until it's too late a lot, and believe me you don't want that.

Yeah you're right.
It would be a dumbass move on my part to not show up to the appointment. This guy is one of the top Neurologists in the city and getting an appointment often takes months.
Also, the symptoms are getting annoying. I've broken a number of bones since last year due to loss of balance and falling down, so I hope that with this new information he might have some new theories.

Well, I know I don't know you, but if it helps comfort you I'll keep you in my thoughts. Hopefully you get some concrete answers.

Great now I feel even worse than I did already. I am perfectly able bodied and have no real worries but I still cant escape this foreboding sense of doom and darkness.
Yay.
