About 2 and a half weeks ago I posted here that I went through about 4 hours of intense physical pain from the neuropathy I've got from kidney disease. It's related to PTSD from PTSD meds I took for years that contributed.

I got lots of support here for that immediate pain and got through the night. Then I went to my doctor and demanded physical therapy.

Long story short, I'm now ending my first week of physical therapy at the hospital. It's hard and often painful, just like people say, but I'm so, so glad I have the insurance for it. I can tell it's already helping with the kind of pain I had that night, at the very least mentally in living with it. Physical therapy may get me better to where I don't have to walk with a cane.

I just wanted to let you know that this support here from DS PTSD works short term like it did that night getting me through my pain. It also works long term, like in supporting my push for physical therapy.

This is a healing place. It works.

Off to physical therapy now. Wanted to say thanks.
