Thanx for your mail Alton, however I wasn't able to attend the hospital today.
Unfortunatly I seem to have acquired Agraphobia. I went out for the first
time in 6 weeks on Tuesday, just to the corner shop and back with my mum in
the car. I was absolutly petrified, literally scared stiff. I didn't realise
I was scared until I got home and felt safe again. It was quite a shock as
you can imagine. I've spoken to my Occupational Therapsit about it and she is
writing to my doctor to tell him that she is worried about me, and she'll also
mention the fact that being referred to a psychologist would be a good idea.

I had no I dea that I would ever get such a phobia as I was always out of the
house before my illness. In comparison, disAblitly is the easy part.!!!!

I've also been doing yet more research and speaking to yet more people (I chat
too much.!!), and it looks like I haven't got TM at all. It seems that ME is
possibly a more likely diagnosis. I'll let you know as I find out more.

Hope you are feeling well,
