Hi everyone,
I would like to do some kind of test, consisting of questions about patm, to get some statistical results, because it is difficult to determine something concrete form the post in the forum. If any of you are interested please answer below.
About me: I have had PATM for maybe 5 years, I don't think I'm imagining things, though of course I can't be sure. The reactions I get from people are dry coughs, they don't seem to be voluntary, because even my family and close friends are reacting just like other people.
What I think this is: I honestly don't know, these day's I'm leaning towards some kind of psychological problem, because how else do you explain, people reacting over the phone, Skype or glas windows. Although there are possible way's to explain this, if patm was in fact a medical condition, maybe people are reacting to a symptom they see (subconsciously), but this is just wild speculation, like most other theories I read on the forum.
Since doctors don't seem to take this seriously, and honestly would you consider this a serious condition after hearing about it? For my own curiosity, because not knowing is one of the worst things about this for me, I would like to dedicate some time to think of questions, that might be relevant, and maybe we can even get some answers.
Best,
Fogell
