My new wife had multiple tramatic events of childhood sexual abuse and violence in her home and also, probably from her last husband. She experiences flashbacks when triggered from PTSD.

I cannot figure out what is happening when she goes totally unconcious recently. Usually she is upset and goes to "shut down" like a lot of PTSD victims do. She is know to dissocitiate and forget things. She thougt she was sleeping but is aware that I'm trying to revive here. She does not come out of it when I'm opening her eyes. She does not move in the least unlike when she is asleep. She does move or jump when I make a loud clap. She does sometimes move here eyes. It sometimes lasts for 2-3 hours where she does not move at all.

If anyone can give me ideas as to what they know or where I could look. The doctor in the emergency room didn't really say anything when we described it. I have read the Psychogenic non-epyleptice seziures tend not to believe. Also "physical paralysis" as well as mental is a possible symptom of PTSD or reaction to trauma.

If anyone can offer any thoughts or suggestions, please let me know. I believe it needs to be treated or could become worse. She is scheduled to see a really good psychologist in town on May 4rth. But I want it to be earlier treatment! Thanks for any thoughts.
