A lot of us have PTSD issues associated with our IC experience. I was discussing this with a good friend who is trained in PTSD issues, and she recommended this book. It's called " In an Unspoken Voice: How the Body Releases Trauma and Restores Goodness." I haven't read it yet, have only read the first chapter for free on Amazon. I've just ordered it. I wanted to share for anyone else who might be interested in learning more about this aspect.

Thanks for the recommendation. I am just hoping to GET to the P- I am still in the T and S! LOL

Thanks for making me laugh Deir!  I'm doing EMDR therapy right now for my ptsd stuff and I find it very helpful, but the "p" piece is kind of a misnomer and we're definitely running into some road blocks since I really have "tsd" just like you!

thanks for the tip! I have wondered if I will struggle with this once I'm healed (or at least a fear that it's simply a looooooong remission), and I wonder if the stress of worrying it will return could in fact make it return! lol I think my main triggers are stress and hormones (diet never really affected my symptoms much), so it would be good to have a way to combat at least one of those! :)

This is an excellent book. Tinkerbell as you're looking into this stuff you might find these of interest, EMDR has helped me. And I begin TRE this week. Run past Dr B as always if thinking of anything - but might help some.
