Welcome, have you sought any assistance dealing with those symptoms or found any relief at all?

I believe you will find you are one of many. I am going to repeat what was already said and is good advice for anyone new here or looking around. Do searches, read old posts. PTS(D) is nothing new and a lot has been written here by bonafide "been there, done that, still dealing with it decades later my own way." straight up survivors. Keep on keeping on and try new strategies to help find your own relief. YMMV, might help more, maybe less but when I found this spot I was so happy when I even felt 1-5% better, even if for just a few days. To me, small relief is better than none at all if that is all you find here. Vets are posting here, read from the "Old Guard". I've done a lot for myself in regards of PTS but the men and women here have helped me immensely and and thankful for them. I am better off today than before I joined and I keep a low profile.
My 2c. Its worth what you paid for it. Good Luck!

Welcome! When I got back, some Native American veterans that I met would say "Welcome back, veteran. Good to see you here". It's been over 10 years and they still say that to me when they see me, because the understand that this "thing of ours" doesn't really go away.

Stay in the good fight, brother. And welcome back, veteran.
