I do not see how Angie can bring all you people down by telling you the truth, how you feel and take the truth is on you. I know you all want to come to this forum and have us tell you, "ahhh, don't worry, it is nothing," well sorry, cannot do that. Angie is pointing out things that have been on this board for a long time now, BFS in a nustshell, PNH article, I mean it is nothing we already did not know, so why all of a sudden is Angie bringing you down? We all have known that this could be an autoimmune problem, or any other physical problem, so now that ANgie puts it out there it is a downer. SO what, you want her to just agree that it is anxiety to make you guys feel better???? You were discussing anxiety as a cause and she is discussing autoimmune as a cause, the only problem is that you guys dont want to hear that it is physical because you are scared and now it brings you down....I have heard so many people on this post saying Angie, you are being mean, Angie we dont need to hear that, WHY NOT??? It *could be* the truth, it could be one of the options, you want us all to sit here and lie and say no it is nothing???
I can see it now, this BFS forum is heading to be an anxiety forum and then everyone that will come here will think that BFS is from anxiety. Might be, but we dont know that, and I know I do not want people thinking I have BFS because I have anxiety, ya know why, because then it is swept underneath the rug forever, and I know my physical pain is not from that. I can go on and on about this anxiety as the cause but I am not going to because I honestly feel that people will be to scared to want to even know the truth. I said it before, I am not afraid of anxiety, everyone has it, and everyone has had some trauma in their lives.
All I can say is that I know that anxiety has not taken my left arm that I cannot move without it bouncing up and down when I reach out. You can visibly see the non-smooth muscle and have this in my wrist. My BFS mimics alot of autoimmune diseases, am I afraid if it is autoimmune, noooo because it is benign, but I am not going to watch you guys beat up Angie for telling you guys what you have already known, she is just discussing it as her opinion on a cause, how you take that is not on her. There is no reason for her to lie just to give you peace in your heart. That would be like, when I first came on this board and asked people if they had a certain symptom and they just told me yes to make me feel better but they really did not have the same symptom. Angie is not doing this to be mean, she is being straight up and honest...Jenn
