Hi there! It sounds like you really had the exact same thing as me with the throat thing. I too used to think it was an allergic reaction to something and used to take Benadryl. I never went to the hospital, but it did make me totally panic.. Here is the weird thing, it comes on so often when I am not panicked. Like, I can be relaxed and chatting to a friend or watching TV and then suddenly, I feel like I can't swallow.. THEN I panic. I just think it's really bizarre. I really like that quote of yours, it makes a lot of sense. I am really counting on things settling down once I get to Canada, but if they can't then I guess I'll just have to try and figure it out again over there. I know I'll be okay... but the thing that gets me down is that I don't want to just be 'okay', I want to be good, you know? It's so hard to make people understand how jealous I am of people that just get up and go about life so easily. Oh well.. 6 more days 'til Canada! --Steph
