fear of escalators

I have had trouble with Escalators my whole time with MS. Since I had MS as a child and no one knew it my mother had a fit. She just she said I was being a baby. and pulled me on. My sister in law was annoyed with me in D.C. when I visited because I needed a metro with an elevator. Have you ever see some of D.C.'s escalators? They are really high plus I had my luggage. People run down past you and bump you. I did learn a trick. Having my cane up in the air at an angle.

Just curious if you eventually had the crowns re-worked? I've had a worsening fear of heights whereas I could climb up a ladder 10 years ago...it's gotten to a point now that I can no longer transition from the ladder to the roof. I've gotten crowns in between that time, and while I doubt it's connected, your comments got me wondering.

Hi GT- - Stairs are not my best sport. I also get light headed, but not necessarily in association with stairs. Both going up and down stairs I am much happier if I am holding on to a hand rail. I need to look at each next step in front of me as well. WIthout a rail I need to really slow down and focus. If I don't look at each step I invariable kick the second or third step. My lightheadedness is actually orthostatic hypotension. When I stand up from sitting, crouching etc.

It sounds like you may be developing mild "agoraphobia" and associated panic attacks. Agoraphobia is essentially the fear of being in a situation where you feel "trapped" which is the exact phenomena you describe when you get "stuck" in traffic - an elevator would be another example.

What you descrive is a panic attack when you have this intense fear, then you become afraid of the fear and so on until it becomes a vicious circle. You came to the right place! You should browze a lot of these threads as you will quickly see that you are not alone in your fear and anxiety and you will perhaps learn from how others have coped with it.

Lost right eye peripheral vision, with osillopsia (vision shaking) - lasted about 2 hours - though my vision has been feeling a bit out for the last week or so - problems looking at close together lines (like the lines on escalators.. Still feeling strange now, but the shaking is not noticeably present...... Am terrified that symptom would come and not go away.

I love having my baby still inside of me but do any of you just feel so tired of being pregnant especially because of this heat and just wish you have your baby early? I'm 36 weeks Friday and I'm already wishing/hoping/praying/ he comes at 37 or 38 weeks. I know I have to wait till he's ready but I don't understand how fast all these months passed and all of a sudden this last one decides to pass by very slowly. How can I get my baby to drop?

Second time, MRI showed leision on right optic nerve and again back on IV Steroids and eye was back in place within 2 hours.( with my double vision the affected eye wanders out of place, hence double vision. I looked like Marty Fieldman or Forrest Whittaker.) I have residual double vision now called Divergence innsufficency. It is where my double vision starts after 10 feet. since I am constanly moving my eyes keep bringing everything into focus, very tiring.

There is no way you are going to get pregnant using a restroom. How old are you and how long has this fear of pregnancy been going on? Do you see a psychologist?

Everyones told me thats its going to be real hard but i know il cope everybody does ive heard alot of people enjoy it because there so close my little boy should be walking by the time i have the baby my little boys just started crawling too and it is a hard time because hes into everything we should be fine :) good luck anyway hun :)

He can watch senser doors for hours, he is interested only in opening and closing doors of builings, drawers, cars, dishwashers, you name it. It is almost impossible to switch his attention to something else. What does it mean? Is it a signal of a behavior disoder? I need some help.

This is a question for all mom's or soon to be mom's. What parts of pregnancy do you hate most? Here are mine: Spider Veins Swelling morning sickness headaches heartburn. I've had ALL of these..

Okay, so I was diagnosed with CM1 in April 2013 and had my decompression surgery in Sept. 2013. I really like my NS, Dr. Christopher Bogaev in San Antonio. My problem is that he is extremely happy that my Chiari is "fixed" even though many of my symptoms remain. He says he is very sorry that I still don't feel good and maybe I have fibromyalgia because the Chiari shouldn't be causing anymore problems.

Rapid changes in the focal point of my vision can occasionally give me a feeling of disorientation, and once in a while I get a bit of a queasy sensation along with it. My solution is usually just to slow down. Shopping carts are my friends. High shelves are not. UnDx still, though, so naming a villain is iffy.

making injections is so easily, i know do them with both arms and even without looking at the site of injection...of course i dont need to pay attention because if i get a vein it is even better with my treatment but anyway just follow instructions here http://www.youtube.com/watch?

New pathways need to be created to overcome the old programming. So for example, if you panic over a fear of flying, you must start flying and let the brain realise that its all okay, and reprogram the thoughts. However, the fear of dying can't really be practiced. Some buddhists meditate in a morgue as it is the closest we can get to dying. Once we understand that dying is just for the body and the spirit moves back to the energy (the light) we are no longer afraid of dying.

ve had 3 normal birth s and one emergency c section at 32 weeks. I lost 6 pints of blood on the table. Had lots of new blood and was put in a comma for 9 hours. I'm so glad they put me to sleep.I'm going to try for a vbac but if my specialists want me to have another c section. I want them to put me sleep again I don't feel I can be awake for it. Which is no way fair on my boyfriend as this is his 1st baby and he will miss out on seeing his baby come into the world.

I googled way too many symptoms on schizophrenia, and now I am obsessing over the fear of getting it. My therapist and psychiatrist said I dont, but what if I do get it!? I have no symptoms but I am just so afraid. My OCD is so bad now about it. Anyone else go through this?
