Thanks Daisy. It *is* difficult to sort things out. I do know that, finally, I feel no anxiety and no pain. At least I've got *that* right. I wish it would last forever! In the meantime, plenty of sleep and lots of food!
> It is hard to sort out the two, isn't it? My son gets really bad stomach aches when he is anxious. He tends to think he is sick, or ate something, and he discounts the anxiety. When I point out that "possibly" this or that could be making him anxious, he usually agrees and then works on the anxiety. If the anxiety doesn't go down, then we work on the stomach ache.
