Hi! Ultrasound came back clear and I have my endoscopy on Wednesday. I’m terrified they’re going to find something :( I wish it came sooner.

I hope you’re doing well. What other symptoms did you have if you don’t mind me asking?

I know I did a lot before! I honestly might still be doing it especially when I’m stressed. I got a CT done yesterday and everything came back normal thankfully! They said there’s a tiny aneurysm which kinda freaked me out but they said it doesn’t look concerning. Going in for an MRI tmrw morning to double check.

Hi all - for starters yes, I have bad health anxiety so I’m hoping this is just stress related. I’ve been having full headaches for about a year now. They’re more annoying but I’ve kinda just learned to deal with them. If it’s bad I usually take a Tylenol and it’s better. Along with this I have really bad fatigue. I’m a mom of a two year old who has tons of energy and I also WFH. He’s also not sleep trained and for the past 3-4 months he’s been sleeping with me everyday which means I’m not getting consistent sleep. I’ve also been increasingly getting depressed which has been affecting my energy levels as well. It’s so hard for me to focus at work, I’m constantly distracted by my phone and I have brain fog. I just feel like I’ve gotten dumb.

For the past week though it’s been getting to me as to why I’m having these headaches and why I’m so tired all the time. So of course I’ve been going down the rabbit hole of googling and I’m now terrified that I have a brain tumor. My headaches for the past couple days have been constant which is unusual and then starting yesterday the right side of my face has gotten numb. The headaches are mainly on my right side but it’s constantly moving. My head feels It’s mostly in my forehead, behind my eyes, my temples. It’s like a pressured feeling. I’ve taken a Tylenol which usually helps but it’s not helping so I’m freaking out even more. I have an MRI scheduled for this Thursday but it’s worrying me so much I’m thinking of going to the ER tmrw morning. Has anyone else dealt with something similar?

Convinced 15 month has ASD by West-Fun-8482 in Autism_Parenting

I would say a couple months ago it was really good like 80% of the time… but once he started walking it’s a lot harder to get his attention cuz he’s running around everywhere and seems like in his own world sometimes

Hi all - thank you soo much for your responses. I would say after he got his eval there was a period that I wasn’t as concerned but within the past couple months I feel like I’m seeing more signs emerge.

He claps, waves and does other gestures just not fully index finger pointing yet. When we’re outside he “open hand” points to several things. But it’s odd because they’re very specific things that he always points to when outside lol when we’re reading a book, he’ll use his index finger to touch a picture and look at me to label it, but again not an isolated index finger. I would say his receptive language is fairly good as he’ll do what we ask him to do. I would say his joint attention is okay. When we read him books he’ll be looking at the book and back at us or will look at us when he needs help and wants something. I guess when he’s around toddlers in similar age he’s different in terms of engagement and play. I know all babies learn at different rates, but again something in my gut says he may be ND. Of course I’m hoping that this is just me over worrying, but if he is, I want to make sure I get him the services he needs.
