I have had chronic headache pain ever since the trauma 10 years ago. I never really saw the connection until a few months ago, when I realized that thinking about it started or increased the intensity of the headache. The other problem is that when the PTSD flashbacks become incessant, I listen to loud music in order to dissociate. (I know, poor coping skills, but it's all I can do right now.) Anyway, sound tends to make the headache even worse, so I kind of spiral downwards. Hmmm...one would think that I had enough "smarts" to think of another way to deal, but I haven't. Thank goodness for Excedrin!

Oh, and I also tend to get physically ill: stomache issues, nausea, etc.
