| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

| |  Sick After Doc Appointment?
Hubby has not been great he managed to get and see the Physch today he was late ( couldnt get out of bed) for the appointment so I am glad he still saw him.
I just rang him he said the doc has put him on different meds.
He has gone back to bed his IBS started up about 2 hours after seeing the doc?
Could this appointment have upset him this quickly? |

I am certain it could Jen. Doctor's appointments, especially with the psychiatrist, can be very stressful. Two hours is not too short for physical symptoms to begin either in my experience. Evie does not have IBS however she does have serious digestive problems and she can have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and so on within a few minutes of having a difficult or stressful experience. Additionally if he has already started the new medications those could be bothering him as well. I do hope he is feeling better soon. |

Yup it definitely could Jen. There's been lots of times I've vomited after a stressful appointment. I've even got sick during appointments and had to leave early. Did your husband tell you what happened during the appointment? Was anything said that upset him? |

To be honest....no sooner do I get upset do I end up in the bathroom. It is so bad and it happens so fast. |

He doesnt talk much about his emotions but he said he told the doc he hates this time of the year? After thinking about it he went downhill last year around xmas time I remember because our son came home and hubby spent most of the visit in bed? |

Well Jen, many people find this time of year depressing and stressful so perhaps that is the heart of the matter? |
