Mel I hope you can look at this sight. I found it very insightful. It has explained,as I had thought and suspected from beginnig, that my anxiety and the symptoms that accompany are not entirely "in my head". I have small fibre PN,and these small fibres also control our autonomic system which controls heart rate,breathing,blood pressure etc.
Yes I have anxiety related to a major illness that I suffered,but the same illness also has also caused some of my symptoms, as I present with excessive sympathetic activity. I am trying to control what I can,and that is my anxiety that stems from fear.
There is some good information about MVP too. Don't ask me how and why, but I have had many clients with MVP, as I assit people with will preparation. And they may also suffer co-illnesses such as fibro and so forth. I have yet to meet a women who wasn't able to live normally despite the MVP.
My advice is loose the stethascope because that will drive anyone mad. God forbid I had a stethascope, we'd all be in trouble!! LOL!
