I would be really happy if someone would shoot me up.

I don't trust a silver platter.

Need an account to watch, and I don't feel like doing that right now...

Does that mean that tension in the neck causes it??? Is it linked to the adrenal glands? Then why not just yoga and massage???

I don't trust doctors and putting junk into my body... My conspiracy theories... I'd rather live with my personality the way it is and try to combat it on my own. But for some, it may be just want they have been hoping for. For them, I wish it so...

I have complex PTSD... Which means I've grown up with PTSD... It is my personality basically... I've never not had it... It seems rather strange to think they can cure my PTSD... I don't even know what "cured" would feel like... I have no memories of a time when I wasn't like this... It would probably be impossible to reset my brain because it developed PTSD... I would basically have to grow up all over again without trauma for me to be cured...

I think it is maybe better for those of us who have one major trauma that caused PTSD so that there is a memory of a normal brain without PTSD...

I'm too scared of drugs and needles for me to try this... But I hope some people benefit from this progress!

I would try this if offered to me. Hell why not, it cannot be any worse than nightmares, anxiety, fear, second guessing yourself, side effects from drugs, years of therapy, and on and on. I would do just about anything to get rid of PTSD and have my life back. I would do just about anything not to be haunted by memories.

that's very interesting. thanks for further explanation jen. i couldn't click the link.

i think the real cures will come in 15-20 years, when we've mastered programming stem cells and can just re-grow damaged parts of the body in the lab. very shortly life expectancies will be in the 100+ years.

since this is so new, i think the 75% success rates relates to the immediate. it will be interesting to see the long-term affect stats. very hopeful indeed. thanks for posting this :)

My thought was? If it helps dramatically? YAY!
If not, I'm out what it cost me to have it done.

On that basis, I'd probably roll those dice.

i'd roll `em absiolutely!

sh*t, i've even gone so far as look into catholic exorcists' in vancouver and seattle to get rid of the ghost. i chickened out because the concept of a benevolent creator is laughable to me, but that's how out there i get.

oh yeah. i'd roll.

I think it's great if it works. My own case is like lovesmama's. I've read good things about how the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) have treated PTSD among those exposed to combat. Very different approach.

On another front in my life, there's recently been a breakthrough in diabetes using stem cell research.

Whatever works in the race for a cure.
