I have been having a really hard time and thought it was all due to changing T's and the stuff we are working on (PTSD). I know this stuff drains me and I was exhausted. I went to the medical Dr. to have a mole taken off and my temp. was 101.6 and I found out I have a kidney infection. I was blaming all the body pain on the therapy and blaming myself that I couldn't pick myself up by the bootstraps. I guess it made me feel better knowing it wasn't all mental. The Dr. gave me a big lecture on paying attention to my body...I am a nurse and should know better. This Dr. has no information about me being in therapy so I just listened to the lecture and thanked him. I stayed home today and am catching up on housework and sleep. Well, I guess I just wanted to make sure others think about their health and don't always blame it on their mental state like me :).

And I hope you're feeling better.
Yes, I know that tendency all too well. I'm sleeping nonstop right now, and blaming it on anxiety. But I really should be checking my blood sugar too. Plus I know there are other alternatives as well.

Dinah,
I read all the back posts and see you have had quite a week. I am hoping the EMDR T works for you as it really did help me with the PTSD stuff. You take care...I really appreciate all your input!

Speaker,
Really good point, I don't think physically wrong, I just assume something mentally is causing things.
Judy's right about med side effects. They're not just in your head, they're in the rest of your body, too.
