I think that it is absolutely no wonder that anxiety and a half dozen other symptoms don't crop up simply because of the complexity of the diagnostic vernacular!
Could it possibly be any less clear or cohesive?
We are clearly experiencing a disease or conditions of diseases for which there are more questions than answers.
And quite frankly, that's part of what makes it suck so damned loudly IMO,

P.S. I have two of Chris A's posts hanging on a bulletin board in my den, Barbara ~ and they were instrumental in my last Pdoc visit ~ so I'm thinking his suggestion is probably a good one.
Barbara,
