Karen My daughter is funny about sand too. When she was tiny she would not allow her feet to touch sand on the beach or a sand tray - she would pull her legs up and scream. She will go on the beach now but only with shoes and socks on, and sits on a blanket. She won't play with sand in a sandray. Angela |

Dee, don't worry no one else has ever come up with a name for it in over 30 years. Started when I was 3. For a long time I couldn't get in lifts, travel in the front seat of cars, go on the tube, etc. I still have a problem every time they remove a ceiling tile at work for maintenance. They have to relocate me. Last week they opened a hatch next to the door to the Ladies so they could do some work on the pipes. I had to cross my legs for the rest of the day and didn't dare to have any coffee. I also couldn't leave the building as the Ladies is next to the lifts. Building manager thinks I'm potty but its a very real phobia. Angela |
