BPD causes physical illness??

[Guest guest]

here, my mum has BPD and is currently at home violently ill (stomach bug

grossness) and its the third time in the last few months that she has been like

this. She also suffers from high blood pressure, hyperventilation syndrome and

ongoing lower back pains since she was in her twenties (shes now 50). She also

easily gains weight, especially when she is having ongoing depressed moods. I

know that stress can give you physical illness, as i have suffered from

depression with all these BPD dramas. I have migrains, physical aches, ongoing

fatigue and panick attacks. I know that when i get my mind under control and

avoid negative thoughts my body heals pretty well.

Does this also apply to people with BPD? Does anyone have similar circumstances

with their BP parent?

Yes, my nada suffers panic attacks, high BP, she makes her own cholesterol.

She's flirted with both alcohol and food addiction (never quite meeting the

criteria for addiction) and given herself diabetes.

I am sure I have forgotten 90% of it. Her fear, and twisting to cover up for

herself, the manipulations. All that took energy and created stress. She can run

from her condition, but she cannot hide from the stress it creates.

is your mom on any meds? My nada did all kinds of bizaro things with her

health (think diet coke and tootsie rolls 3 meals a day for years on end,

taking the dog's expired anti-biotics and taking allergy shots from like age

40 to age 65). But the meds the docs put her on to treat her misdiagnosis

also played a roll. for instance she would swell up when on prednizone for

extended periods and had major weight flux that I also suspect was drug

related. Very complicated issue.
