So I’m back with updates.
My partner saw Dr Tim Ham who said he understood his concerns considering his family history and listened carefully to his symptoms. He carried out a physical exam and said NO signs of MND but would send him for an EMG and nerve conduction study. Those both came back all clear and Dr Ham said that there was nothing else to be done but we could contact him if things got worse. A very nice man!
So 5 months later my partner has gone back to thinking the worst. He thinks the tests were done too early or are just wrong. Is this possible? Where do I go to get support for his mental health around his own MND concerns but also to help him handle his Dad being so ill? He’s booked in to see a genetic counsellor at Addenbrookes in October.
Thank you and love to all,
Fiona
