I had therapy yesterday with my therapist and I saw the Nurse Practitioner. I discussed this issue with the N.P., and she increased the Neurontin to 900 mg and I'm supposed to follow up next week for a possible increase. The therapist, and NP have referred me to a specialist. I'll have 3...

@SpikeBall your energy is contagious, and I thank you, you put a smile on my face and made me laugh. Welcome to the forum, I hope to see you around, and I wish you the very best on your journey.

Yes, frequently. Sometimes I can shrug it off, and other times I have spent time in the hospital because of what I am seeing, that's not there.

Hello Eppi, I hope your time here is as helpful, and informative as mine has been.

@Chava I don't usually drink coffee (LOL, this post suddenly reminds me of the "Most Interesting Man Alive commercial...I don't usually drink coffee, but when I do.") But I don't usually drink coffee after dinner but it grounded me and made me feel safe. So, I will take the caffeinated snap for...

@Anarchy the worst flashback today while mowing the grass. On a scale 1-10, it was a 8. As I've posted, and noted, this low voltage sensation always before the more severe flashback. I was sweating but not from mowing grass, it's cold, windy, and it's been overcast. I saw things, that...

Is there someone else, you feel safe with that can accompany you? If the conflict was between your boyfriend and the therapist, perhaps another trusted person could go with you as support? I can appreciate not going to therapy alone, it scares me.

Hello to you, and it's great to meet you @Island girl, I hope your time here is as informative about PTSD, as it has been for me.

@slightly obssessed welcome to the forum. It's nice to meet you and thank you for sharing. I agree with you about feeling alone, and this is why I appreciate this site. I visit several times a day, I feel like I've been adopted, and I've just met my extended biological family at a large...

@Anarchy indeed, yes it would be wise. Also, I appreciate the resources you've mentioned. I believe, I posted that this low volt sensation often seems to precede the more vivid flashbacks. Indeed I had one moments ago, pouring coffee of all things. I wrote it down in the journal. I've...

@Anarchy , absolutely I will accept that hug, and thank you so much for the input. You've given me a starting point with your information. Yes, the book triggered me. I wish I had never written it, but the healing for me has started. I haven't been up for very long, had a decent night's...

@greenleaf I was forced to repress the issues that brought on PTSD at the age of 17, one year after the shooting. The child abuse, which led to the suicide, stopped while I was recovering in the ICU. At the age of 17 my father, led me into the woods or the scene of the shooting and yelled at...

Thank You. I like, "Habitual repression of high voltage emotional charges.." I have a followup appointment with my nurse practitioner on Thursday. I'm so grateful for her. Our first appointment was two weeks ago. My counselor referred me to her, (in house) and at our first appointment she...

I was diagnosed with delayed onset last year. In the last two years I've noticed a low voltage running through my central nervous system. I've been living with PTSD all of my life. So I've had it for 40 years. Started with child abuse and surviving a self-inflicted gun-shot at 16...

Thank You for bringing this up. New Here. I've been trying to start an intro topic but I've deleted it several times. I didn't know there was such a thing as body memory... The event/events transpired from the age of 4 until the night I fired a rifle into my chest in the woods 2 decades ago...
