Wow, it never really occured to me before this thread that illness could be connected to PTSD, but thanks for that because looking back I see a lot of patterns. Nausea is one, ugh I hate it. I never actually get sick but it's always just there, in the background, teasing me like a bully wiating for the bell to ring!!!
Yeast infections, bladder infections, insomnia, depression, migraines, OCD, heart burn, and quite often I get a weird spell that no doctor has yet been able to put their finger on in the past 25 years. I remember always being sick from school, I will admit half the time I just did not want to go so I faked it, but the other half I was really sick. I still get that way. It's like vertigo, I get dizzy, feel very hot and sweaty but I am cold to the touch and dry. My vison gets a little blurred, and even sitting or having a drink of OJ or eating something does not help. Weather is not a factor. I've had my ears checked, my eyes checked, thyroid, you name it. Nothing yet. If anyone has anything like this or any suggestions I am quite interested to hear it!
I don't know what could be related, but you've peaked my curiosity and I am about to go read the article Anthony linked and google more info. Thanks for the great thread Cyndi!
