I have just found this site. I have experienced many traumatic events in my life. I am 46 years old. In Feb this year I was admitted to hospital for five days as I had severe involuntary body movements and speech. The doctors described it as tourettes type symptoms. All examinations for any physical conditions were completed and came back negative. I was told that I was suffering from stress/anxiety and that things would get back to normal soon.
Although I am nowhere near as bad as I was in February, I am still unable to function as I did before. I have now been offered an appointment with a psychiatrist. I think that I may have PTSD and am wondering what others may think about this. I now find it very difficult to go out in public or speak on the telephone. My main symptoms are, nausea, retching, uncontrollable shaking of limbs, weak limbs, involuntary vocal sounds and face/neck contortions, inability to speak, insomnia, poor concentration and sensitivity to noise.
This is now ruling my entire life. I would be grateful for any advice.
Kind regards
