Default Thanks so much!

I am learning much more about myself everyday here and i attribute some of these moments to my Neurofam-

I am still in denial (working on acceptance) on how these physical symptoms can be caused by anxiety.

I am now realizing that i do have a big anxiety problem........keep in mind that i was always the guy who felt like i was in control of everything.

I am slowly realizing that my anxiety is most likely the cause of the majority of my "new" symptoms"! Even though its so hard to wrap my mind around the thought of anxiety causing swallowing difficulties.

For example:
I am a really good "worse case scenerio" person. I think in the Anxiety world its called Catastrophizing! Before my concussion i had no idea about MS or ALS but when i heard on the news that a Hockey player got MS, i started googling the symptoms.

Prior to googling, i had no unusual symptoms. SHortly after, my skin was itching and some if not all of the MS symptoms started showing up. Same happened with ALS.

Currenty i have difficulty swalloing and ironicly enough, i jsut read about that sypmtom two days before i got it.

If this is......sorry, Since this IS anxiety causing or exaserbating most of my sysmptoms i am amazed at how powerful anxiety can be.

Is the Mind really that powerful that it can manifest symptoms?
