I would agree with him both from my training and my own personal experience. When I am trying to help someone give birth to emotional pain because that person is afraid to let it go because they are afraid of what will happen physiologically, I tell them your body will shut down on its own before it will let any self destruct happen, so should it get to the part of passing out it will be taken care of automatically. So, I generally encourage endorsing the pain and letting go. Of course we can visualize holding the Lord's hand in the process. I alluded to my own experience many years ago with ashma and feeling like I wasn't going to be able to breath. It took the doc a couple of visits to figure out that my problem was fear and that I should breath into a paper bag as I was over breathing. Well I have never used a paper bag, but it was helpful to understand that fear was my biggest enemy. I am not equating my problem with yours, but I do know that fear is pretty big and I am very sorry that you are having to go through this process. I have really appreciate your sharing of your journey as you are such a good writer and your faith is wonderful.Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717871355383932570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917197791937337660.post-61594861102810011872010-02-01T17:22:03.824-08:002010-02-01T17:22:03.824-08:00Janine,

I've had swallowing, throat, breathing problems at times but nothing like what you're talking about. When my symptoms move into that area, it all becomes so primal. Like all my other symptoms and malfunctions are nothing.<br /><br />I went through a period with repeated reactions in my throat and breathing. I would sit in my car outside the ER while it passed just in case. I get not wanting to deal with that all unless you really need to.<br /><br />I'm glad you have support around you. Take care.Bibliotekarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06896112760553996504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917197791937337660.post-17935753410952247202010-02-01T17:02:53.047-08:002010-02-01T17:02:53.047-08:00Dear Janine, This sounds really scary.

Is there an MS society where there are experts who answer questions? Did you talk to your doctor? I wonder if anyone has ever died of it? If not, then it might be less scary. MS seems to be a very unusual, variable kind of condition (maybe it is many different conditions?). It is discouraging that you dont find knowledgeable people at the avaiable health facilities. I am sure it is tedious to have to be the teacher... You should give lectures at the Medical school.
