Somatic Symptoms

[Kubash16]

What kind of somatic symptoms do you deal with?

I have headaches all the time but are particularly worse when I’ve talked about certain traumas.

Nausea happens when certain memories or situations come up.

A big thing I’m noticing lately is feeling really feverish and flush. I just did a lot of psychological work and my skin feels like it’s on fire.

What do you deal with? How do you handle it (any tips)? How do you tell the difference between somatic stuff that can be ignored vs actually getting sick or having a reaction to a medication?

Immune compromised-allergies, rashes, itching, easier to catch bugs and longer to recouperate;
Heart pounding
Tinnitus really loud
Nausea/vomiting
IBS symptoms- trapped near potty-grr
Ocular migraines
Double vision
Oh-and sudden super bad cramps
Muscle pain
Disconnected from body feelings- of hunger, thirst, pain

mild stressors make the back of my head hurt like about 1 minute after concussion. dim and foggy and aching and echo-y before the world starts going white and shoulders hunch and memories come crawling out of their hole.

haven't found a solution. lot of things get pushed by the current. working on keeping track of the present when the aching starts.

My go to- grab a fruit popsicle when I’m beginning to feel that Im losing my footing and this grounds me pretty quick- only 25 cal in a single fruit popsicle-300 cal in a box!?

Rashes, headaches, phantom pains, allergies to name a few.
