I'm sad you suffered too. I'm oddly grateful for my gyn issues because I had to learn to talk about pain with that. I still will lie about it if things happen too fast and I under-grade pain consistently (major ankle surgery and I admitted to severe pain once post op and that was when my nerve block broke; it caused problems in PT when I injured myself and they didn't see how bad it was because I underrated it). My therapist just gave me the talk because I didn't tell him or anyone that I was having the oral motor issues until someone noticed it because I didn't trust myself. It was just 4 days but he thought I should have said something immediately because it was concerning.

I will have to be careful when I go to the hospital Sunday because I will downplay the depression symptoms and wind up not admitted if I'm not careful. It's not an easy skill.

I hate that I had to learn this. I think it is the part of PTSD that makes me most angry.

I'm so glad you feel better!!!!! Conquer those legs!
