In addition to cPTSD, when I sought treatment I suffered malpractice and a string of related traumas inflicted by medical professionals, resulting in medically related PTSD.

Seeking medical care is very triggering for me, and since I'm an independent patient advocate, and studying to take the voluntary credential and licensing, a lot of my symptoms are being triggered as I study (flashbacks, nightmares, etc.).

I'm curious if anyone else has PTSD related to medical care and what your symptoms are like? I just kind of feel alone in this sometimes.
