Well, Spaw, I have to agree with you, I have my doubts too.

I acutally typed one of the usual long diatribes, because someone very close to me suffered from these a while back, but then I read some of Nellie's posts again, particlarly the one where she told folks to calm down as it wasn't life-threatening, then got kinda shirty with folks for not answering the question she actually asked.

So I wrote the very simplified version.

I'm glad a few people may have learnt about the brown paper bag bit though, as that really does work.

I know, with my friend, that she felt it was actually life-threatening and would have been in no way able to be light-hearted on a messageboard, during the times she was suffering from these attacks, because she felt as if her whole world was crumbling around her.

Still, at least I managed to find that Deva Premal chant, which I've been meaning to do for ages.

If Nellie is for real, then I wish her every success in finding a way through it all.

If she ain't, then trust me, it's not good to make fun of people who do actually suffer such attacks, because they are bloody scary to the person suffering from them.

The New Jersey comment was weird too. ????

I'm off to listen to Deva again now and hang the washing out in the sunshine....

Get well soon, Nellie, if you genuine.
