Hello

[Charon]

does not seem really old to me. Just sayin.

when i got disability for ms and lupus which is deemed Pain cuz no doctors understand autoimmunes, i also got it for PTSD. had a bit of a rough childhood and one helluva marriage. The disability doctors told me my level of PTSD is rite below that of one whom served in combat. Well, most of my life was combat. It helps to forgive the perpetrators. But, ok, i do also have ms and lupus and the stupid disability doctor threw in parkinsons which i tossed rite back at him. i shall not accept that. But, i noticed that as i age, the PTSD goes through the roof. I have found some tricks to lessen the attacks.

May u also be blessed to find out what best helps you. We are all different. We are all here because various and assorted tragedies occured to many of us. And, we each must find our own pathway to healing.

Glad you have a really awesome friend here, and that your symptoms are releasing their hold on you.

P. S. Maybe don't get any older. (Just kidding. Never said I was not weird.)
