Weak Immune System, More Susceptible To Viruses

[Brittany Gonord]

I know that any stress weakens the immune system and ptsd is the mother of all stress. I am currently fighting a cold (cough, sore throat, achy body) and I had this less than two months ago. In fact, ever since the trauma, I have gotten sick more frequently...I also get severe ice pick headaches when I have a cold...does anyone else experience this?

I have definitely seen my immune system take a nose dive since my traumas. I was just about to post about this. I have a hard time fighting things off, and when I do get them, I seem to get them more severely than most people.
