Anxiety makes everything worse

I came down with a pretty bad sickness last year just before the major TMS flare started up, I'm still not sure what I had but I suspect it was salmonella poisoning (I spent four long days alone in a youth hostel in a shitty venezuelan bordertown struggling not to die) I've never been so sick before... I have never before been afraid of catching colds or flu's or whatnot, but I find nowadays, if I feel myself on the verge of getting sick, my TMS flares wildly, because I associate the coming on of the cold/flu whatever, with those terrible days in salmonella-agony, and so I get these sort of mild panic attacks and dizziness when all I've got coming is a slightly sore throat, and my feet starts throbbing and my pelvic region contracts and starts to burn madly... it's all fear isn't it.
