Has anyone else noticed this? I have to say that when I have recently read other's stories of illness and pain and their historys of abuse etc I have been shocked. For two reasons, one, I thought i was in a minority. That is clearly not true. 2, I thought that I was one of the few relatively young people to be having such issues with pain. Again not true. Some of us are 20, 30 years apart. So the question is what is the correlation? Are we sick, diseased because we didn't grow right through the abuse? Are my bones decomposing because my energies were put into surviving? Did the emotional stuff rob my body? Did it cause other disease? Anyone want to do some scholarly research? I find it amazing.

Very good points made here!!! I have thought of this too. More research needs to be done in this area. It is too important to sweep under the rug!-Take good care-dottie

If you read the book that I placed in the Rate & Review section called: Feelings Buried Alive Never Die you will be able to see the correlation between health problems and stuck feelings / wounds that are held with in our bodies..... basically IF we do not heal from our wounds then they "will" find a way out on their own and it is usually in a physical manner.
Check the book out - it greatly helped to open my to eyes and knowledge to why we should all seek to heal from our abusive past.... and it gives simply ways as to make this happen. Good Luck.... ((( hugs ))) LoVe, Rhapsody - |

You know I just seem to notice that many of us have physical illness as well as PTSD/Depression, whatever. It is a big question. I don't think it's a simple answer. In a way it's like failure to thrive babies. Abuse and neglect effect us physically.
Rhapsody, not to sound stupid but where is the rate and review section? Well, on the subject of pain, I never knew what pain was, didn't know how to identify the feeling. Talk about dissociation. So right now, my neck on my bad shoulder side hurts like 4, 6 when I turn it. My right arm is very sore, 5-6, and my friend is driving me to the hospital. Yeah!!!! |

I went to my doc yesterday as I have been falling for no reason. Falling flat on my face, falling onto my left side. Feeling so tired like someone put a ton brick on me it's that hard to move. They took blood and she did a neuro exam. She told me when I asked the question above that yes, she felt there was a higher incidence and that she felt it was related to suppression of our immune systems during trauma.
I am whipped for the day. Go to find results of shoulder and c spine MRI tomorrow. I feel that something is really not right and then I THINK that I am making it up and attention seeking. Or that it's because of the way I live that i AM ILL. yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Sounds like a neat book Rhapsody; I just read Healing Hypertension http://www.amazon.com/Healing-Hypert...dp/0471376434/ and it's author, the doctor in charge of the Hypertension Center at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, says basically the same thing. He has seen how suppressed emotions (ones we don't know we have), not regular stress which he says we're built for, may cause a lot of the incidences of high blood pressure. He covered a lot about other diseases that may be mind/body linked, like fibro, arthritis, asthma, etc. and was saying the same thing you were, that the problems have to come out somehow.

Only if I want to truly understand where hillbunny is coming from and can think about it with clarity does it need further expanation. Yes, we are more then the sum of our parts, and what did she mean? What do others mean? I just want to understand.
