So just to turn it around a little on what fishman said and I do appreciate that he gives a lot of his time to this forum when I'm sure he has better things to do with his time , you say if an anxiety sufferer was in your body for a day they'd think they were dying but a lot of us on here do think that on a daily basis and no amount of tests will convince us other wise , if you imagine a gun being pointed at your head and someone saying you are going to die the fear is the same regardless of wether there is a bullet in the gun , and the pain side I have both worn discs in my back which is excruciating when bad but the chest pain I get from anxiety is just as bad and twice as scary , the other point is when anxious I personally am on full alert things appear brighter , louder and more intense so pain which is in our head can feel ten times worse as we focus on it and no amount of pain killers take it off , it's just my perspective on pain and anxiety I wasn't always this way so I can remember what it was like before hand ,other sufferers may disagree but I just thought I'd put my side across , ps hope your wife is doing better fishman I don't trawl through the forum anymore found it a bit counter productive, take care .
