Both Colleen and Faye were recently diagnosed with Lupus. Colleen took the news badly and immediately assumed she would live out the rest of her life in pain and frustration. Faye, on the other hand, was momentarily shocked by the news, but felt comfortable that she and her family would adjust and make the best of a difficult situation. As Colleen became more reclusive and depressed, her symptoms seemed to worsen as she originally predicted they would. In contrast, Faye exercised when able and took the opportunity to enhance her relationships with friends and family. Over time, Faye's symptoms began to lessen. Which of the scenarios below would be the LEAST likely scenario in relation to Colleen and Faye's current status?
A) Colleen and Faye's symptoms may actually be the same, only Faye spends more time reflecting on positive aspects of her life whereas Colleen thinks mainly of her pain and suffering. This gives the impression that Colleen's symptoms are worse.
B) Faye actively utilizes her support systems, thereby reducing her stress, whereas Colleen has hidden away from her friends and carries the burden of her stresses alone.
C) As Lupus is an autoimmune disease, the characteristics of an optimist or pessimist have no impact on the severity of symptoms. Symptoms are only remedied through appropriate medications and treatment.
D) Due to brain-body connection, Faye's belief and determination to not only survive but thrive and live a full and active life can help to relieve her symptoms. Colleen only focuses on the negative symptoms of her disease; her body is therefore reacting negatively to her thought processes.
