Re: Stress and Disease-Example

[Guest guest]

I am sorry but I do think stress can trigger some disease or be mistaken for a disease. I do not think that is true in most of our case, but there is an employee at work that was rushed to the hospital one evening. I got a call that she had a heart attack. I called the next day and asked how she was doing. They said..well they didn't think it was a heart attack. I said what are her symptoms. They said back pain, etc.

I said (knowing this woman's personality) Sounds like stress. Well it was. She basically had stressed herself out and had an anxiety attack. She is high strung and does not know how to relax or handle stress and she is making herself sick. She did not have a heart attack. My daughter also always seems to get a cold or the flu after the report card comes!!!!

I would say that women suffers from Anxiety, a real

diagnosable disease. Anxiety doesn't have to be

triggered by anything when somebody suffers from this.

It is just always there to arise sometimes without any

known trigger. Panic attacks and anxiety attacks are

well known in the psychiatric world. Even thinking

about having an anxiety attack can bring one on. It is

an individulized thing I think and not normally just

triggered by any stress that comes along. I believe it

often has a physical cause.

I think the point trying to be made here is that I

don't think stress causes vulvar pain problems. There

is nothing anywhere that indicates it is a cause. I

don't even think Anxiety causes vulvar pain problems.

Some people say they are in more pain when they have

stress. Could be but it also could be that whatever is

causing the vulvar pain at that time is also causing

the feelings of anxiety at the same time. No where has

there been any research that leads one to believe that

their vulvar and pelvic pain problems are caused by

stress to my knowledge. I think it is unproductive to

even think it might be caused by stress as we should

look elsewhere. It is certainly unproductive to allow

one to believe that just because a doc says " Lady, it

is all in your head and all psychological " , no matter

how delicately he puts it, because somebody writes an

article that says 85% of diseases is stress related or

caused by, that we should believe it.

I certainly don't believe that my intermittent kidney

failure is caused by stress or any other symptom I

have but hey, everybody has to do their thing. I can

say I certainly get stressed when my kidneys shut

down.

All this is my opinion and everybody can believe what

they want of course. Perhaps we would do better to

believe in fewer inanimate causes.
