Fw: Fw: Health Problems among People with PTSD and Diabetes

[Guest guest]

Thank you for the explanation! I had an incident when I was in college.

I went home for Easter week, and

we had a young man in Dad's congregation at church, that was killed in a

car accident. He ran

his brothers low slung car under the tandem of a dump truck just where

the gas tanks are half above and

half below the chassis. The car blew up and we got to the crash scene

which was about a half mile from

where he lived, just as the coroner came across the road with a basket

about the length of your long

leg bone and holding a three prong pitch type fork in hand.

I went back to school and had nightmares which was waking my room mate.

She had me go

to the nurse, because it was disturbing my sleep practically every night.

The nurse gave me

something that caused me to sleep for 24 hours. When I woke up, I no

longer had the

nightmares. I remembered the incident, from then on, but no more

nightmares.

 

Thank you for fighting for our freedom.

Hello Thea,

 

PTSD is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It is a common problem for

veterans returning from war and people who have experienced other

kinds of trauma. During some of the early wars, it was called " Shell

Shock, " and might bring to mind veterans jumping in a ditch when a

car backfires.

 

I am a Desert Storm veteran and felt a very mild form of PTSD when I

returned from Saudi Arabia and recognized it immediately. It is a

repeating memory or thought pattern that never goes away, Vietnam

vets seem to have gotten the worst of it because of the surrounding

sentiment of the war.

 

Veterans describe it as a record that plays in their head over and

over again, never ending. I've known some Vietnam veterans who will

check the doors and windows of their home ritualistically many times

throughout the day and night because they still find themselves there

in the war and fighting for their life.

 

I would love to try the technique of regressive hypnosis I use to

help these veterans. I personally believe the pain is deep seated

and requires a mind, body, and spirit holistic look to treat it. I

realize this is a very simple explanation for PTSD. It seems to be

much more complicated. This will give you an idea.

 

Sending you love and light...

Thea,

 

I believe you have described a mild case of PTSD. So if you can

multiply that one trauma you had and have it occur in different

scenarios over the period of a tour which is at the least 180 days

and sometimes as long as 2 years. You will then understand the

concept of what our war veterans go through. I think they just give

in to all that is happening around them to survive it.

 

I find it promising that you got better via sleep. One of the

suggestions I have in my hypnosis script is to work through any

problems you have in your sleep. Sleep is much like hypnosis in that

the body is very relaxed and receptive. Hypnosis should not be that

deep of course so that a person is aware of what is going on, but

both work well at healing.

 

You are welcome for my service. I was one of the lucky ones who only

did 180 days (6 1/2 months) in Saudi Arabia. I was way behind the

front lines, where fear was our biggest problem, and my personal

problem was how women are treated in that country vs the US. My

service of 20 years in the Air Force taught me much I have used and

will continue to use in the future.

 

Sending you love and light...
