why we feel pain in labor and pain relief methods

[Smoke Jaguar]

In THAT case, Diva, you've got the theory already, so I reckon your pesky adrenal gland can still be quieted with a goodly dose of practice with breathing and visualisation techniques!
Also, have you tried Emotional Freedom Technique? It works on your meridians whilst you unblock inhibitions and fears - worked for me Granted, I didn't have any condition that could be found in the DSM IV...that I know of...
(ETA: what I have posted thus far is paraphrasing what I learned and put into practice from my HypnoBirthing classes in April last year...and have since been confirmed by my study in my Grad Dip since I returned to school )
speaking of which, I'll get my hands on that diagnostic manual and see if I can find which disorder you have been diagnosed with!!
Hijacking thread now, will stop, sorry!
