I go thru times where I wake up and feel like I am choking, and cough to the point I throw up. I know what the problem is, I had socks or large items shoved down my throat for the thrill of seeing me suffer.
I keep saying the day and the date and the year over and over, telling myself it is not happening now.
Dentists are also very difficult for alot of ptsd sufferers to handle. I myself hate them, even though they are there to help and I am a medic. Still hate um. lol
Alot of my vietnam vet friends are also proned to waking up choking and have bad gag reflexes to the point where they cannot eat large items, they chew everything til its very mushy.
Hope this helps ya, Donna-Lynne
