She frequently called out to her mother at night when she awoke after scary dreams. She was severely afraid of thunderstorms and dogs. From an early age, she was also was very afraid of dying. In her teen and young-adult years, Jennise reported having some “social anxiety” where she described being really concerned about people’s perceptions of her and struggling to know what to say to peers at times. When she went off to college, she made an “active decision to put [her] difficulties behind [her] and become successful, wealthy, and independent.” She described channelling all of her energy into her schoolwork and careers goals. She did well in school and quickly became a lawyer. She met her spouse in law school and they got married shortly after graduating. When asked about the referral from her physician, Jennise reported that she recently visited her primary care physician again because she has been experiencing ongoing cold-like symptoms, including fatigue, body aches, and headaches. She has been having difficulty concentrating as well. When asked about this, she describes struggling to focus due to the fatigue and aches. Jennise has historically enjoyed recreational reading, but has given this up because, with her concentration difficulties, she cannot remember what she reads from one page to the next. She describes how last time she tried to read a novel, she had to re-read the same page 5 times. During the past year, Jennise’s symptoms have been evaluated by her primary care physician, an endocrinologist, a rheumatologist, and a neurologist.
