But a friend is doing some research into this and I figured I would throw the idea in here to see what folks think: As the regulars know, I have an anxiety disorder. While pregnant for me, my mom continued to drink, at least for the 1st trimester if not more. Is there any possible connection? In addition to the anxiety disorder I do have some physical abnormalities, which I only recently learned are severe enough to have been diagnosed as a minor birth defect - mostly including a short palette and oddities with my throat and tongue muscles. I also have a dual (split) uvula... Anyway, curious what thoughts people have, and if anyone has ever heard of people looking for such a correlation. ----- Snit's Anxiety Suggestions: http://myweb.cableone.net/snit/anxiety One persons methods of coping with an anxiety disorder
