Thank you so much for sharing your story. I agree with everyone and what they posted. I understand about the domestic abuse even though that is not what caused my PTSD. In my therapy sessions we are digging into the past stuff and working towards the present issues. You are a survivor and do not...

My doc explained to me very similar what Anthony posted about PTSD. I went through many many traumas in my life pre accident, I was an abused wife, I had been sexualy assaulted, deaths in the family, betrayals etc.... but I did not have PTSD then. I got PTSD when I opened my eyes after being...

I know exactly how you feel. I went back to my first psycho therapist because I was getting no where with the one that accepted my insurance. So I am back with the one that does help me and I will have to worry about how to pay for it later. I know when I leave there I AM EXHAUSTED, not only...

I know how upsetting that must be to feel frozen and then wonder WHY DID I NOT DO????????? About a month ago my ex the PSYCHO, called just to add more salt to my wounds. Now I have been divorced from this MANIAC for almost 13 years and I am remarried for 9 years so why he still does this is...

Batgirl, I could never imagine what you went through. For myself I have to get this out, and my therapist is being very careful. There is more inside me than just this accident and wether that speeded the process along to where I am now with PTSD or not I don't know. I had so much buried for so...

YEAH WELL SO MUCH FOR THIS TREATMENT. I have been on a TRIP TO THE CIRCUS for the last 3 days and I DO NOT LIKE IT ONE BIT:crazy: :crazy: :eek: This new wonder drug Lyrica can be shoved right up someones:moon: I could'nt see, I could'nt walk, I felt like I was on some sort of awful nightmare...

I am so sorry to hear you had a bad day, but here is my PROFOUND comment for the day. "If you do not take care of you, no one else will. It's not selfish to take time out for yourself or to put your hand up and say STOP I HAVE HAD ENOUGH, and remove yourself from the situation that causes you...

This week has been almost to much to take. I have had a doctor appointment every single day along with PT and psychotherapy and I am so exhausted. Yesterday we started to work on a PAIN COCKTAIL of sorts to not only manage the RSD, but also to stop the mini seizures from the TBI that I get, and...

Your right Veiled because I THOUGHT I deal with things well, survived so to speak, protected my kids, worked LIKE HELL to feel useful, I pretty much pretended that I WAS OK. Looking at my life pre accident which to me was no big deal, now telling it to my therapist and listening to myself say it...

I have often questioned WHY NOW rather then before when I was in an abusive marriage, suffered many losses and traumas but seemed to get through it all, not easily but nothing like what I have now and actaully those situations I know made me stronger. I guess I feel that a person can handle only...

Loki sounded like ONE HECK OF A DOG. I find it so amazing what dogs can do for us and you know sometimes I do not think we give them enough credit. I will share a story with you that is very touching at least to me anyway LOL. I had a siberian husky named Blade I got him for my 5th aniversary as...

Lexapro was one of the magic drugs that was tried on me. I COULD NOT DEAL WITH IT, first it made me ill like most of the others did and Yes I did get pretty kinda out of it and wanted to isolate myself because people got on my nerves. Everyone reacts to anti depressants differently, and these...

Update::::: My doc rearranged his schedule to get me in yesterday he is a great doctor. He went over my BRAIN FILMS with me, and took great time in showing me and explaining everything. My patient advocate went with me so that I had another set of unbiased ears and eyes LOL. Because my doc is a...

I believe you were thinking very clear when you responded to my post. You expressed exactly how I feel and right now the pain is back with a vengance so when my hubby gets up and after my kiddo is off to school we are going BACK TO THE ER. Then THEY CAN GET IN TOUCH WITH THIS WITCH DOCTOR and...

I appreciate your response and can not agree with you more. I am just coming off the demoral and starting to get very angery, because OH YES The pain is starting to break through. I talk about being medication free and I was EXCEPT FOR THE ELIVIL that is the only thing that I was still taking...

I had my neurology appointment today and I thought it was great because today was one of my worst pain days ever. So hey I thought finally the doc would get with the program and perscribe some really good pain cocktail for the RSD. HAHAHAHAHAHA, I was actually Afraid of her when she started...

Thanks for the replies. I talked with my doc today and he has many ideas on this issue. I do have an appointment coming up early next week and he blocked off more than the usual hour session so I hope we can dig further into this. I hope it is just feelings that is causing this rather than an...

I guess when I talk to my doc today I am going to ask a very pointed question and that is ARE THESE REAL MEMORIES????????? Because if they are then I want to know WHY?????????? NOW???????????? and WHO?????????? See I think it has something to do with an older man that I kept seeing even when...

OK I am up way to early this morning but I had such a bad night of nightmares and things that were really strange. I have been having some reoccuring nightmares that are not related to the accident. There dreams of first I feel TERROR then I feel sick then I wake up in a shaking sweat. At first...

Yes I do believe that martial arts training has assisted me in someway, I just need to find that part of me again. I know there are so many more out there some on this forum who suffer so much more than I do with the PTSD, and I would never wish this affliction on ANYONE. Each day does bring...

Thank You Anthony I sure hope someday I can recover. I think at times PTSD will rear it's ugly head even when I THINK I have put it away and dealt with it. With me the other issues are actually the ones that will never heal. Today is a good day for me I feel rested, and you know some of my FIGHT...

That is very true Anthony, and well put. Anything IMHO other than just the persons true determination to work on the long term healing by therapy, meds (if they help) and facing the trauma head on, mostly facing things and learning new ways to deal with them are the best. I know for myself even...

Well today I meet with another advocate to help get my SSD claim approved. We are into the second denial FIGURES. So this woman is going to go over my file, even though I have attorneys on it, another set of eyes sure does not hurt. I guess with the personal injury claim against the woman that...

Thank you God for helping me find this forum. Thank you for allowing me to have a pretty good day. Thank you for allowing me to LIVE and guiding me in this struggle. And thank you most of all for my family who without them I do not know where I would be.

I am posting a link that you should check out. As far as these types of dogs being official YES THEY ARE. According to the ADA any person with a disableing physical or mental disability that uses a dog for assistance can not be denyed access to ANY public place. Of course it does help if you get...
