Has anyone else noticed this? I have to say that when I have recently read other's stories of illness and pain and their historys of abuse etc I have been shocked. For two reasons, one, I thought i was in a minority. That is clearly not true. 2, I thought that I was one of the few relatively young people to be having such issues with pain. Again not true. Some of us are 20, 30 years apart. So the question is what is the correlation? Are we sick, diseased because we didn't grow right through the abuse? Are my bones decomposing because my energies were put into surviving? Did the emotional stuff rob my body? Did it cause other disease? Anyone want to do some scholarly research? I find it amazing.
