Hello TrespassersWill

Me? I also have TBI as well as PTSD and MPD as well as a few other issues. But to answer you question. My doctors took me off of everything because i was getting sicker on them then without them. So i do art and music and work out for the most part. I am watched 24/7 so i do have support if i get triggered or something like that. For the most part i am in my studio or my art room. I am mostly by myself. So if something happens i am on video and both rooms have been miked to make sure my wife and friends know if i am having a flashback or not. I have very good folks alround me and ALL my band mates are abuse survivors themselves. So we look out for each other. I found that allowing folks into your life that has some of the same issues was God send. You can read alittle bet of my storie in my photo album. I posted a new paper article as will as a few med records to prove what i am saying. You'll also notice that i have TBI because i was shot in the head 2 times. The 2nd one blew a piece of my brains out so i had to relearn everything so i know what your going through. No meds then try working out more and start taking vitamins. get your vitamins b's into you and when you get kind of nerve. Try a cup of super strong coffee. Black. No suger or cream. Just black. The stonger the coffee the better i say. It works for me. I am not telling you anything that i don't do myself. I get my b.s and c's and alot of greens and i feel that it helps. So NO your not along in this battle my friend. All the best to you and i hope that you become well soon. have a great 24

I seriously doubt the meds would help since I don't react to meds the same way a normal person does. Let me clarify I have TBI (traumatic brain injury) and I've read when someone has that they don't metabolise meds correctly anymore. My pain specialist has given me meds that were suppose to help pain but instead makes me hurt worse and anxiety meds like Valium make me hyper!

I'm just worried not being on meds and only having CBT for PTSD might hurt my chances of being granted SSDI. Does anyone know?
