Sufferer Hi All, this is what’s happened to me, Ive made a mental recovery from PTSD now Im having somatic symptoms

[Ed1905]

All the following has happened to me over the last 6 months. I have made a complete recovery from 44 years of severe PTSD, I recovered from ptsd by unwittingly writing down ever trauma that I had experience in my entire life .I'm off blood pressure medication, Im off 30 years use of opioid pain meds and diazepam and Ive fully recovered from 8 years of severe mixed sleep apnea with an AHI of 79, please explain all this and how rare is this to happen? But now Im going through major somatic symptoms without any formal treatment but I have an EMDR therapist. Any advice .

Welcome!

Hope the EMDR is helpful for resolving those somatic symptoms:)

They are pretty severe but I’m strong, they start at 1pm and subside before bed , Im 64 years young .

That's really good, that you worked through the more psychological stuff, and now the somatic stuff is surfacing. I mean, obviously it is still painful to work through that, but awesome that you made that progress.
