Several people were very kind and wrote to support me some time ago- I wanted to let you know that I am unbelievably better. I have been having chinese herbal tea every day, with a course of weekly acupuncture. It has been expensive, but my husband says it has given my life back. The Chinese doctor has taken a wholistic approach. The medicine is all natural herbs which I have to boil up in a pan each day and drink the tea. These herbs have been changed as I have progressed and now I am on reduced intake and fewer acupuncture sessions. I couldnt believe the relaxation level I found with the acupuncture, it was like someone had changed my blood and replaced it with calm clean new life. I was scared in case it only happened the first time, but that wasnt the case! So, I think that its just a case of finding something that works for an individual, and just rediscovering even a short period of tranquillity, helps to re-establish the non panicking person we are underneath. For me , the triggers for panic are still all there, its just my ability to cope with them thats been transformed, and thankfully, I havent had a panic now in two months. Phew
