PTSD could be reversed with TM - Transendental Meditation. Soldiers with PTSD

were thought it and had good results.Speaking of spirituality, it is spiritual

technique without religion, concentration or contemplation.easy but effective.

If you read e Hay about Candida mental case it is " Frustration and anger,

demanding and untrusting tendensy in relationship. and feeling very scattered " .

She recommend affirmation: " I give myself permissim to me all that I can be and

desrve the very best in life. I love and appreciate myself and others. " This may

help temporarily but TM can relive the case not just create mood.

Many people here have hypoglicemia and they can`t stay without carbs and even

sugar for that reason. This can be also from Adrenal fatigue which cause many

recurring infections. It has some mental reason too but a little bit different.

Hypoglicemia is the result of being overhelmed by burdens of life. Adrenal

problem caused by defeatism when person do not care for the self and have

anxiety. The affirmation is " I love and approve of myself. It is safe to care

of myself. I choose to do my life easy and yoyfull. "

ly I believe that I had low adrenal hormones for many years but it just get

too low after hormonal shot and intake of wrong supplements which make me

weak.Now when I am getting better the most important to give the rest for

system. Slip more, stay away from computer as much as it possible, have more joy

and fun.

What a terrible thing you are going through. I'm so sorry. I hope you will

somehow find some relief and healing from your ordeal.

In my case, my PTSD was caused by my best friend's unexpected death. I can't say

that PTSD brought on my illnesses. Rather, I already had thyroid/adrenal+ other

underlying conditions which in turn impacted my ability to handle stress and

illness. I knew something was off before but when I experienced the significant

trauma of my friend's death, my body went crazy and sent me through a terrible

streak of " thyroid cycling " - which included the adrenaline rush, flight/fight

response, hypersomnia, rashes, hair loss, weight gain, memory loss, exhaustion,

depression, anxiety, lability, etc. I thought I was going lose my mind and/or

die. The only thing that got me through that difficult period of time was a

significant amount of bible reading and prayer (and sleeping pills . In

retrospect, the only thing good that really came out of it was finding God and

that was an amazing journey unto itself.

At the time, I thought all my issues were related to PTSD, however, after a lot

of tests, doctors and reading, I'm coming to the conclusion that the health

issues were at the root. The trauma was the catalyst. The PTSD was just another

lovely thing to go through.

I finally found a couple of decent doctors who understand something about gut,

adrenal/thyroid issues and are treating me appropriately. With physical ( &

spiritual) treatment, I have noticed a significant lessening of PTSD responses.

During the journey, I attended a weight counseling class in which we read Dr.

Phil's book about weight loss. It was a pretty interesting read into underlying

psychological factors which can impact us that we have to address beforehand. I

felt that some of it rang true for me; however, I had a nagging feeling that

that wasn't the whole story and that there was something going on biologically.

In my case, I was right.

But in your case, you have had something very personal and devastating happen to

you at such a young age. Your traumas won't ever 'go away' but I hope and pray

you will get to a point where you will feel that you have the control and the

PTSD won't be able to compromise your health any further.

My sister was a victim of child abuse. We didn't find out until she was an adult

-after which she had already turned to the occult and heroin to deal and now is

quite mentally and physically ill.

> In a book about trauma recovery, I read that 80-90 % of people with chronic

fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia or irritable bowel syndrome also suffer from Post

Traumatic Stress Disorder.  Specifically, the book talked about how people who

have experienced significant trauma have wildly fluctuating cortisol levels as

well as a near-constant state of " fight or flight " adrenlin rush.  The

adrenal gland in trauma survivors is wiped out from the effects of all the

chemicals that flood the body during trauma and during flashbacks.  The book

recommended practices such as yoga, meditation, and guided imagery to help

regulate cortisol levels and also interrupt the " fight or flight " state and the

chemical frenzy it triggers.

CFS, fibromyalgia and irritable bowel, I figure that there must be people on

this site, other than myself, who suffer from PTSD.  I wonder if anyone here

would like to talk about how their PTSD figures into their health issues.

>  

> The trauma which occurred when I was a child set me up for behaviors that

cause candida.  I overate massively to avoid feelings.  Also it seems that my

candida symptoms directly relate to emotions which I not only could not express

as a child, but which I had to hide from myself in order to stay sane.  As I

start to understand these emotions and let them out, my symptoms improve.  Also,

I often feel that I'm dying from the candida, that it's killing me, that I just

cannot get better -- and these feelings often lead me to remembering feelings I

had when I was a kid of how people were trying to hurt me, which seemed like

they wanted to kill me, which gave me a belief that I was always under attack,

and that people wanted me to die, and therefore I should die.  I think this has

a lot to do with why I got sick and am still sick -- although I definitely am

improving.

>  

> One of my naturopaths told me that a history of child sexual abuse is very

common among people with candida.  So I wonder if anyone here wants to come out

and say that they think the abuse they experienced influences their candida?  I

think that if this is an issue for people, it will help to talk about it.  I

know it is a huge part of why I am sick. 

>  

> Obviously this is an issue that no one wants to talk about.  However, it's

estimated that 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 4 boys under the age of 18 have experienced

some form of sexual abuse.  It's extremely common, and it's nothing to be

ashamed of.  There's no reason to stay silent.  It wasn't our fault.  We were

innocent children.  If it's affecting our health, and if this site exists to

help us improve our health, then I think it deserves to be talked about.

>  

> If emotional issues are part of why people are sick, then discussing how those

issues affect us physically is just as necessary as discussing how drugs and

diet affect us.  I don't have any intention of using this site as a therapy

group.  It's just that the emotional side of it is such a huge component -- for

some people! -- that to not talk about it is to treat only half the illness. 

Candida already makes us feel isolated.  People with PTSD feel even more

isolated, and isolation has a huge negative effect on health.   So I just wonder

if anyone else here feels their candida has been partly caused by PTSD.

Have any of you ever heard of German New Medicine? This doctor

studied the relationship of illness to trauma. Very interesting.
