Dysfunctional Families: "don't Rock The Boat"

[Beemo3780]

I completely agree that PTSD effects your physical health, and I have been to doctors that also agree. I was a generally very healthy person 10 years ago, with the exception that I was born with a heart condition but it was minor. I was diagnosed with PTSD probably 6 or 7 years ago following some very stressful events in my life. Since then, I've been diagnosed with 2 immune diseases, Eosiniphilic Esophagitis and degenerative arthritis. The arthritis has gone downhill pretty quickly in the past few years where I have difficultly walking sometimes, and my hands look terrible. The Esophagitis is manageable for the most part, I just have to make sure I always eat healthy and take care of myself. I go running to keep moving, even when I'm in pain, for the arthritis. I'm a fighter, and I'm not going to let anything slow me down.

There is a whole field of study called psychoneuroimmunology. (How's that for a handful of a word!)

PTSD of course affects physical health, and while some doctors reject that notion, more and more are beginning to accept it.

I don't have any suggestions, I simply wanted to say I'm reading and I hope you are able to find some safe relief soon through all you are dealing with. :hug:
