Here is my story. sorry - its a bit lengthy but I now see why many who have been living with this for a long time, suggest keeping a diary.

I am 52 (F), otherwise very healthy, fully retired for 2 years and therefore stress-free after a stressful career in architecture and as a small business owner. My new career in the works is practicing and learning to teach yoga, in part to help others manage the stress in their lives. I do not seem to fit into the normal categories of likely candidates for this disease.
