Hi,
I am new here. I was wondering if other survivors of child abuse go thru some of the symptoms I am presently going thru. I have had 20 years of therapy and am presently in EMDR therapy to access trauma. I have had only 1 session of the rapid eye movement, to basically put me in a safe place to remember the trauma. Presently I am experiencing what I believe is remembering the rape by a neighbor. I have not see the rape visually but have had flashbacks regarding the rape.
My symptoms are body aches, many, many tension headaches, like a vise around my head. I have been feeling as tho I am not in my body, dissassociative as well. I cannot remember things nor can I concentrate very well. It is as if I am overwhelmed trying to remember whatever it is I have in my psyche. I also can't stand noise. It is as tho I want quiet all the time. I am also on DS's sexual abuse support group, but thought I would come here as well to see if others go thru these symptoms when they are remembering a trauma. Thanks for any support. Knowing what I am going thru helps with the fear. If I know that this is all part of PTSD I can deal with it a lot better.

What you describe sounds like my anxiety/panic attacks. When my anxiety goes up, the tightness in my bosy is unreal. The pain gets too be too much.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
