Default PTSD , 3 Years on and Somewhat Coping. But a New Issue.

hi all.

Been abit since ive last posted in this forum ( i occasionaly refresh to see whats new). Im just in to see how thigns are and discuss alittle about my mental and physical health.

I have been with my current gf for 6 months - she has been told the story of my past (Hello All - PTSD Sufferer Sydney) (Finally Crossed the Gap and Got a New Girlfriend) and to be honest things between us have been goign on fantastic.
I have practically moved in with her ( into her family home , with her father) and i feel like a "home" once again.
I own my own home elsewhere , but the cost was not cheap(the loss of my mother).

Anyway , yadda yadda been keeping myself busy with small jobs here and there ~ is it me or is there NO way i can possibly land any form of full time work....my mind wonders after sucha short time of "monotomy".
The last 2 months or so i have been plauged with a series of "Health" thoughts and issues.
I started getting an upset stomach on occasion ~ my diet had changed quite abit with late night snacks and cans of coke before sleep with my GF.
Got it checked out , thought to be an ulcer - got a blood test and was OK.
IVe gotten on medication for acid reduction but while it has calmed my stomach , im getting a whole set of different symptoms...
*sproadic*
fatigue , random muscle aches , tingling in hands and feet , sore lower back sometimes etc. While im sure PTSD and paranoia does not help , surely am i makign this up in my head or is it real ? MY local doctor just looked at me when i described all the "things" happening , and then said " is that it ?". Ive been shoved off in better ways. Maybe due to my age (24) there is no real need for concern.

Anyone else fnd PTSD or any anxiety etc etc can mentally and physically control u / scare u ?
