    Need A New Muscle Relaxant...what Works For You?

    Got it! Thanks for clarifying! Ask your doctor about BACLOFEN. It's an anti-spasmodic that is used for MS patients. I have a lot of the same joint issues and such and it's worked miracles for me!

    Relationship Need Help And Guidence

    If this 4 months into a new relationship I would really advise you to let go and move on. When someone has been traumatized it is up to them to get better. It can be a long haul, but with perseverance and the desire to get healthy, it can be done (I'm living proof). You seem to be a very...

    Need A New Muscle Relaxant...what Works For You?

    Your body is more than likely responding to the pain from withdrawl. The absolute best thing you can do for yourself is to get p and move around. Even if it's slowly. I used to refer to it as being "shark-like". The more you lay and rest, the more your joints and muscles are going to...

    General Checking In....do I, Dont I??

    The relationship sounds very unhealthy. My from opinion (I have PTSD), I would love to hear that YOU are getting some counselling as to why you want to be in a troubled relationship. That speaks far louder in this situation. I believe that too often folks with a diagnosis use bad behavior to...

    Responses To Your Therapist That You Will Probably Never Say

    It doesn't work if you can't answer those simple questions. He/she is trying to garner responses from you so they adjust their method of training to help you work through issues. Sounds to me that you aren't wanting to get deep and into the nitty gritty. Maybe find a different therapist and...

    Me vs. Icy Steps (And I Lost)

    Ouch, ouch ouch. Poor thing. I've done that a time or two as well. When your b/f asks if there is anything he can do for you, you can always ask him to "kiss it better" (he he he). Happy healing!

    I Would Like Your Advice on a Religious Problem

    She sounds a little on the annoying side - but - it all depends on how much you value and want her friendship. You always have the power to hit delete without even opening them. Sometimes you gotta overlook some annoying traits. If it were me, I wouldn't start a religious debate/fight over...

    Poll Can PTSD Be Cured?

    "Cured" in the sense that one can learn to master it or be able to control it to the point where it doesn't knock you for six.

    Poll Do You See An End To The Symptoms In Your Life?

    I believe it something I will carry for the rest of my days, but what I do look forward to is learning how to master the emotional symptoms, so that my response me doesn't hit a 10, but hits a 3.

    Poll Sufferer or Survivor?

    I don't like either terms. If I am to refer to it my word is HAVE or MY I "have" PTSD from the event. "My" PTSD is acute right now.

    Poll Do You Have a Bad Sense of Time?

    My short term memory was damaged either by the massive amounts of chemo that I received (chemo brain or chemo fog), but PTSD could be involved as well. I can remember the ingredients to a recipe, but often can't remember if I had just taken a pill or not. Other than that, my sense of time as...

    Poll How Do You Classify Your PTSD?

    I've learned over the years that my PTSD is a private matter. My friends and family know, of course, but I don't say to people in conversation that I have PTSD. It just opens up a can of worms. It is far more draining to have to explain to strangers what PTSD is, and then you always end up on...

    Poll Do You Sleep With A Gun Under Your Pillow?

    Nah, we don't like guns in Canada. The only thing on my nightstand is my clock radio, a lamp, and some nice smelling diffuser thingy from Pier I.
