I have titled this post thus, because of a well known psychological effect which I think affects many of us on this list. In that we seem to notice a disproportionate number of incidents, stories, web sites or whatever that confirm our worst fears about whatever it is we think may be a bad alternative dx to BFS.For me at the moment it is Brain tumours, I am seeing people with brain tumours on TV, and in articles who seem to share my symptoms for the onset of there condition.Of course the psychological priming for taking too much notice of what would otherwise be unimportant, is my recently having had my brain scanned, tumour was not a hypothesis I was even considering before that.FWIW I discovered on Friday (too late to do anything about it) that my GP has had a report from my neuro sitting in the surgery since the 15th. I guess I can conclude from that either that I am uniquely cursed in that she has not read it yet. Or that it contains nothing that would suggest that I should be called in urgently to discuss it.Of course the earliest I can find anything out now is tomorrow morning, and getting through to the surgery on a Monday morning is always tough.Needless to say given my disposition and the most recent recognition of my symptoms where I would not wish to see them, my anxiety levels have build up again.That's the real problem. I have dissected everything rationally, I know why I am worrying, and I know the likelihood of having anything to worry about is extremely low, but I still do it 
surely they would know your anxious as hell and waiting on result. and no you don't have a brain tumour, thats a fact.cheeriosharon.
