Everyone is being so helpful and kind. I have another question. For those of you who have a similar situation, what do you do if you feel the onset of a PA? Or what do you do if you know that you are going to have to be in a stressfull situation? For some, it may a visit with a dentist. Actually that used to be a major problem but I somehow mastered that so I guess anything is possible. :-) For me now, it is the very stressful trip to the pyschologist. :-0 I feel so afraid that she will think I'm nuts or want to commit me. When I was a kid, I remember my first episode. I was walking to school in the 3rd grade and had what I now know was a PA. Dr told my mom that I just didn't want to go to school and to take a switch to me. I actually loved school and to this day remember my 3rd grade teacher fondly.
