Hello Kathie, This is an interesting observation, but most PWP that I know, myself included, have a very LOW tolerance for stress. I had a high pressure job, and was able to handle stressful situations very well. One of the first indications that something was not right was my loss of this ability to handle pressure. I have also noticed since being diagnosed, that my abilities to focus and concentrate have diminished.
