Both the Therapist and Psychatrist I've been with say it all comes down to PTSD.
After two tumors and of course the cancer scare, I am now struggling with Migranes of Arnold - after 3 months of treatment it seems to be that I stress myself out to no end, so the nerves around the cervical inflammate so much I go blind on my right eye. Can't move, can't see, I flip out even more so then I'd stop in ER.
This feels like a bit too much some days. I feel like I underestimated the power of PTSD, but it almost feels like I am quite literaly hurting myself because I am not taking care of myself as I should, I guess.
Does anyone else suffer from something else, or currently goes through something else due to their PTSD? (Besides the obvious depression)

I think I've had it all! Along with many other maladies (broken bones, etc.) I also have the loss of vision thing...VERY scary, have had it 35 years and I'll never get used to it. It seems almost any chemical sets me off. I'm on a diet now that doesn't include much! For 40 years the doctors told me 'Avoid stress'....right!!! lol, like THAT is going to happen.
I've tried to explain to my kids that their mistreatment and inconsideration and lies and thievery are literally killing me....and I've come to the conclusion that's what they want.
