> Tea thing is if had a tumor would not do chemo or radiation. After working as an RN I saw too much suffering and knowing at any time could reappear in another location is too stressful for me. Will probably wait another six months and get it after this stupid osteoporosis is taken care of. Joined site by the national osteoporois center. It's googable. Phillipa
Yeah, but I still reckon you'd be clamouring to let someone (preferably the best surgeon in that field) cut it out!..I know I was (didn't have any when they opened me up last year:. I can genuinely say I panicked and had anxiety "for real" full blown. I was taking ldn then (up to 2 days b4 op? from memory), so I don't know if it made the anxiety worse.. but I couldnt sleep and was just a ball of panic. I kept telling myself to calm down for my own good and for the best outcome, I just couldn't. Wierd.
Maybe ldn worsens reAL emotional panic.
However for the usual "panic attacks", ie breathing difficulties, lack of oxygen feeling including "going white" in face and tense jaw I get, ldn helps ..almost stops it. I believe these NOT to be psych related at all...but havent been able to convince anyone! sure don't fell like I'm pancing about anything and they usually happens in crowded rooms where there would not be a lot of oxygen(air conditoned, and usually down low or not truned on!)..if there are wide open windows I'm fine(or if they have the airconditioning up full too). Other times are in bed in middle of night..which apparently is a clasic time to have panic attack.. but I think its more hormonal or something.. I'm actually enjoying the sleep before my dog used to wake me up and I'd find I would be gasping for air on waking. Now I just sleep between 2 open doors and I'm fine(unless the dorr blows shut when I'm alseep). I don't get this either on ldn, so far.
