Medical trauma anyone? Ptsd?

Posted by mo55439 @mo55439, 1 day ago

Wondering if anyone on here has experienced medical trauma? Or ptsd involving medical care? I feel alone in my medical journey. Not sure if providers really know what it's like to be the patient. Having ptsd and trying my hardest to not be a victim in this medical journey, rather strong and capable to handle my personal health. Any thoughts on this topic?

Yes. I have ptsd from bacterial meningitis of my brain may 2014. I am recovered but it is important to me to informed about current health issues and br proactive. Definitly the medical system can prescribe interventions that cause harm when behavioral changes etc are more effective. I am a retired nurse was RN. My illness was a pathway to positive change . It became important to follow treatments plans ask questions work with my providers on depressing medications importance of self care
