You're very welcome, Susan.... I live about 20 miles south of Worcester.
(I
see a neurologist at UMass in Worcester).
Boy do I understand your thinking.. My best friend's husband died
recently
and since then everything in my life has changed. I don't take anything
for
granted any more -- especially my hubby!
What a great plan you have to control the "thoughts" that set off the
nasty
brain chemistry. I'm glad that you had a better day and hope that you
will
continue to do well...
Liz

Actually, my dear uncle had a very, very minor stroke, so it put my
entire life in a better perspective. It gave me a reality check about
what is most im****tant in life. My family is the most im****tant thing
in my entire life. I love them all dearly and without them, I'd be
lost. There would be no life in me. So, when I went to work
yesterday and had a ton of work and everybody was asking for "stuff"
to get done, I kept thinking about my uncle and the rest of my
family. It got me through the day and I didn't get a headache. I do
think, though, I should see someone to talk about my anxiety, though.
I'll keep in touch and thanks, (((Liz))), for your reply. It means a
great deal!!!!! I think you live pretty close to me in New England.
