Thankyou for talking about this much needed and overlooked topic. I had to figure this out myself in the end - that there is no way I can’t have cptsd from my childhood. And that it’s linked to the severe migraine attacks I endured for 24 years (before they came less severe and have now all but gone in their entirety).
I look forward to the next topic on traumatic brain injury as I also lived with this type of agonising attack following a blow to the head when I was 17yo and mild concussion that followed.
For the past 7 years I’ve been exploring root cause healing. Bringing back balance to my brain, body and life (through rebalancing my hormones), monthly bodywork for 6 years (trauma healing therapy) and playing the leader in my own life.
Each a long term solution to a complex problem that took me way beyond management (which for 2.5 decades turned out to be little more than numbing out and gas lighting myself) and to living a life I love.
I’d love to speak to more patients who have embarked on a journey of this nature. We seem so few and far between, yet so much more possibility opens up when we do💜
It is a journey, isn't it? Much shared in common, yet each person with a unique version. Your blog posts are speaking to others, and there are more out there, so keep posting! Part of the silver lining to chronic conditions is the potential for personal growth in the overcoming. Maybe that's part of the reason for the human condition, it is both evolutionary and supernatural at the same time.

It sure is!
I do believe it all forms part of our evolution. Painful as it is/has been. I wouldn’t change it now though or wish it were any different.
