enough
MyPTSD Pro
I would say that the major disease or disorder in my life so far has been PTSD and the years of misdiagnosis preceding it. Second would be all of the traumatic injuries and the ensuing surgeries, maybe down the list is hepatitis C and the wonderful treatment that was available circa 2005 and a few odd conditions that have been treated/aligned/repaired/removed etc. along the way.
Add Diabetes.
The stress of life in general is enough to make most of us react physically in some way, those of us with damaged digestive tracts know that as a fact. Living with any system that is inherently weakened in any way just makes it easier for stress to put us off the edge. My systems have been injured and a long life of wear and tear has left marks. I am just that much closer to the edge in many ways.
Add diabetes.
The stresses of the past few months have challenged all of us and I am not left out. Now I am seeing a drastic change to my blood sugar and A1C, a near loss of control and I have managed it well for many years. I am feeling that diabetes has given me a weakened system and the stress has pushed me off the edge. My Endocrinologist has floated the opinion that the long list of damages and stressors has maybe caused and now exacerbated my Diabetes. Chicken vs. egg. Either way, my omelette is slipping off the plate here.
Can anyone else share anything about their struggles with the PTSD/stress/Diabetes triangle? I have recipes, I need survival guides. Thanks
