I know how you feel I had congestive heart failure in 2005 I spent five days in the ICU. My body had an excessive amount of fluid in my lungs and body. I thought I had the flu but when I coughed fluid would come out. I was told if I would have waited another day I would have suffocated in my sleep.... |

I'm glad you are doing relatively well considering the circumstances. What things anger you? I was very angry about not being able to get an AS dx especially as I tick all the boxes and the stress and constant trying to be believed must have got to me more than I realised. Ironically, having a diag... |

Dear Purchase,
I appreciate that very much, thank you. It certainly was frightening, it still is actually cos I live alone and keep waiting for the old ticker (or jam tart as we cockneys say) to start playing up again. Talk about taking things by the minute

Hiya, I promised to keep everyone posted on my search for a new doctor and my anger at my wrong dx but in the meantime something worse happened to me which has put things a little more in perspective for me. On April 19 I was taking my mum to her doctor, me pushing wheelchair, it was quite a warm da... |

Congratulations! You must feel so relieved and vindicated. If I was in your place I'd be smugly thinking a big 'up yours!' to anyone and everyone who ever doubted me. Good on ya, luv! Ooops, a bit of cockney slipped out with excitement.

OMG how I can sympathize with your husband. When he feels like this he's going through hell. I am EXACTLY the same, everything has to be done perfectly (with heaps of praise if possible) and preferably yesterday or the day before. If a problem/mistake can't be rectified immediately then I feel sick ... |

I used to drive my poor mum mad when I was a kid. Not only did my shoes have to be tight but my cuffs on my sleeves had to be exactly the same size at all times. I was constantly measuring them by putting my wrists together and then stopping what I was doing to go to her to straighten them up. I als... |

I think you did really well not to deck him! I've had similar experiences with ordinary behavioural therapy and on one occasion was physically restrained from walking out and told the person concerned to get off me and get out of my way or they'd regret it, luckily they moved. I didn't go back. If t... |

I hate having people in my flat, it's my safety net. Even if I have to wait for a delivery I'm pacing, can't sit still, need to pee constantly and then end up with IBS and migraine when they've gone. I won't even turn my door buzzer on unless I absolutely have to and if anyone knocks on the door and... |

I've only be on this forum for a day and I am shocked by the amount of people that self diagnose and straight appear to desire having Aspergers. Why is that? Others that do seek a professional opinion end up saying things like "my doctor is an idiot" or "my doctor isn't experienced enough". I even ... |

I have severe anxiety almost constantly and have done for as long as I can rememer. I had my first panic attack aged four, obviously didn't know what the hell it was, had another one at eight, one more at twelve and then they started really badly when I was twenty. In between times I've been a const... |

I'm 12 years older than you, living in England, no kids but apart from that my story is pretty much the same. I've been wrongly diagnosed with Agoraphobia for 35yrs, now I'm told I have GAD and OCD ( which I would agree with) but I also know I have AS but once again the medical profession refuses to... |

I don't forgive and I certainly don't forget, never have and never will. Just a nasty person I suppose, which most people end up thinking anyway when I won't agree with them to keep the peace, so why give them false hope to begin with.
