Sensation: The reason he has such a hard time with this is that there isn't a brain, spinal cord or nerve location (or condition) that can cause sensation abnormalities in every location of your body, from head to toe, other than the altered oxygenation that comes from anxiety.

Possibly the way : You phrased it? If you are feeling altered sensations perhaps phrase it like that versus "being attacked". Nonethess, if you feel your doc didnt listen, seek a second opinoin. Like any relationship, sometimes personalities clash.
