Hi< I ahve agoraphobia since I had my youngest son 32 years ago. My Mum had it as well but I don't think I got it because of that. I am a honest caring person. I can get out with someone and walk down the lane with my 2 dogs on my own but if I get out my comfort zone panic sets in. In 2007 I suffered everyday vertigo attacks which left me with a nervy feeling, although i have visited my son in Cheshire with my husband and we live near Lancaster, Lnacs. I will never like the m6 but its fast to travel on...gets you there quicker. I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2007 after I had the vertigoes. Does anyone suffre with these. I dread them coming back. If anyone wants to write me I will gladly answer. I love animals, we have 2 dogs and 2 cats and 2 pet hens. Sandrax
