I am very aware of plcing this in the PTSD forum, it is directly related. I am having bad back times. I mean my upper and lower are way in spasm and I am taking what I can but I am in pain. I called into work this morning before they opened and told them I was out with severe back pain. I called my doctor to get better drugs, she is not in but hubby is so new drugs are on the way. What is the PTSD connection? I feel like I am lying. I feel like I will not be believed by the "parent", in this case, work. I feel like I am faking it. I feel frightened that I am vulnerable. I have to count on friends and others to help out during this time. It sparks all of those old feelings, including a physical flashback that I am struggling with.

So, wa wa, I want some comfort.
