After onset of freezing, does it progress in length of duration or does it tend to stay about as long as at time of onset? Does the mind/thinking process freeze at this time also...two questions actually, does the mind freeze in the sense that initiation of thinking/trouble shooting also gets stuck, and/or does the mind freeze in the sense of a panic and everything stops but the heart is beating faster, palms sweat, etc. Does the freezing literally start with the toe joint, and progress to the ankle joint, to the knee joint, etc, or is it not possible to discern this? Do the eyes freeze at the same time...in the sense that you (seem to) lose the ability to move the eyes from e.g., left to right and back again. If the feet are "freezing" are the fingers also "frozen?" Thanks, Tim Hodgens -- Tim Hodgens, Ph.D. Psychologist 18 Lyman St. Westborough, MA 01581
