Crushed, I;m so sorry to hear that this is happening to you.
In my case, it's me who can't believe that the physical symptoms can be this serious from childhood induced PTSD. My husband, who is a Vietnam vet, my therapist, one of the doctors at Mayo, and my best friend who is a registered nurse, all insist that my fatigue, pain, brain fog, hypersensitivity to scent and sound, skin lesions and skin pain, tummy trouble, anxiety and depression are all coming from my PTSD. I thought that because I was acutely aware of my PTSD and trying to control it, then it could not possibly be the source of all these physical symptoms.
And now I think I was wrong, that a lifetime of fear can destroy the body.
So I'm throwing everything I have at it. And now, after feeling the physical difference from the stellate ganglion block turning my adrenaline pump down, I am absolutely positive that the last 10 years of hell I've been through is because of the PTSD.
I've just ordered a weighted blanket to try next. I'll report in if if offers any relief.
