I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia & chronic fatigue prior to PTSD, but I've had PTSD my whole life, I'm sure.
The years and years of fatigue and pain, sleepness were a horrific secondary wounding from the abuse. I still deal with the fatigue, 15 years now. I got sick at 29, now I'm 43, feel 83 on most days....but I'm not going to lose hope.
It sucks, all in all, the whole thing sucks.
The physical stuff adds to the mental pain, but I"m sure the mental pain caused the physical stuff. Vicious cycle. Feel like the traumas stole my whole life sometimes....but I'm still 'keeping on keeping on' |
