- I went to the big medical center an hour away and spent the morning with kidney doctors who cleared me for a summer in Mexico where I hope to retire in 2 years. Then I spent the afternoon with post stomach surgery doctors who ultimately did the...
- For the last two weeks, despite having fun and despite no recognizable incident having triggered me, I've had insomnia. I'm rather fried from lack of sleep now after 14 days or so without enough sleep, and it's just after supper time, too early...
- Tonight I saw the classic rock band The Who live. When I heard the band's record "Tommy" I was 17, a senior in high school, and in the worst year of my upbringing in an abusive family with two untreated mentally ill parents. I had a father who...
- It's not me who was stalked, it's someone who came to me about having felt like they were stalked. This morning my best nursing student at the community college where I teach came to class freaked out. She's a really happy person day to day who...
- Ever have a time when your PTSD symptom went more to dissociating ? I have flashbacks, panic attacks, and other PTSD symptoms, too. I've learned to cope with them better, though, than dissociative episodes.I'm having what the Mayo Clinic and...
- I got away today and took a bus to New York City to see a band I've liked since the 1980s, The Alarm. It turned out that where the bus dropped us off in NYC wasn't far from the band The Alarm show's venue, the Gramercy Theater. The Alarm's band...
- Since I've been in and out of the hospital 3 times in the last week for treatment for my kidney damage sustained when taking Seroquel for PTSD nightmares, I've gotten physically weak in ways that make it challenging to work. I'm used to being able...
- I took Seroquel for PTSD nightmares from 2008 to 2012. Then I was misdiagnosed and treated for thyroiditis for a year, when really all I had was diabetes. The combination of Seroquel's work on my kidneys along with the renal effects of a year of...
- I was sick with a stomach bug over the last weekend. Yesterday I took some blood tests and they came back showing the stomach bug had triggered my chronic kidney disease I got years ago taking Seroquel for my PTSD nightmares.I had to drive myself...
- Hi all. Can't stay long, but wanted you to know I've been super sick from a stomach bug I brought from Mexico. My new little baby tummy I got after my December weight loss surgery didn't have the old flora and fauna in it any more I grew as a...
- Just a gratitude post to all of my DS PTSD friends who wished me safe journeys on my latest trip down to Mexico to the town where I hope to retire in 2 years. The way things have gone for me in the US economy, the only way for me to afford...
- I went on a job interview yesterday. Didn't get it, it didn't go well at all, but I've got a job already so it's ok. It did remind me of my first interview and my first job out of grad school years ago. I had a professor friend come up from...
- I speak to churches regularly about PTSD and how to support those of us who have it. I did that again yesterday at a church, and it went well. After church, about 10 parishioners went out with me for Chinese food and we had a nice time.Then a...
- Today is Valentine's Day, so I thought I'd wish us all here at DS PTSD a Happy Valentine's Day. Some of us are in relationships, some of us like me are not, but we all deserve a little extra love today for being on the path to recovery from trauma...
- Tonight I'm going out to dinner with a coworker friend of mine. Tomorrow I get my teaching observed at my job by my boss, so please say a little prayer or send good supportive vibes that I get good rest tonight and have steady nerves...
