| Annii - HOA | | Comments - I find that when I am having counselling a number of problems crop up. Each time I have had counselling sessions there have been gaps of time in between where I have no problems. During the first 18 months I had unexplained pain and bleeding, lower back pain, my periods became erratic. My periods have always been extremely regular and I had a tubal ligation 15 years ago now. I had many tests even a hysteroscopy, laperoscopy and nothing conclusive came from any of it. There are times when I have deep pain in my vaginal area as well.
During my second lot of couselling more a year later everthing went haywire again. My periods came sometimes, back pain, upset stomach, pelvic pain and more tests.
I am tackling my problems once again three year later and my periods are once again erratic, pain in my left side and lower back is sending me to chiropractor today, other times I have tried massage to alleviate these problems. It is very strange, I feel a wreck, like I have been through a washing machine. Is it just the stress. I am an asthmatic, you would think this would be the problem area for me. Is it as they say the body remembers.

| smileforHimJC - | | Comments - My abdominal pain is what actually brought me to start remembering things that happened to me growing up. All throughout my adolescents into my college years I have always had abdominal problems and missing my period all the time. However, at the beginning of this recent year, it got worst. I started throwing up (not on purpose) and I lost a substantial amount of weight. I lost 40 pounds, which is significant for my size, in about three months worth of time. Well, I went to a doctor and they ran all the tests and couldnt figure out what was wrong. Until finally my doctor, who is a friend of mine, asked me if there was a chance I was ever abused in the past. So, it triggered something for me and I started to see a counselor. After spending about a month meeting my counselor, I started feeling ALOT better. I think just talking about the abuse instead of stuffing it all down inside, helped alot. I stopped throwing up, my period is actually normal for the first time in my life and more. I think that just talking about it helped so much and to get positive feedback about the abuse was helpful as well. It also helped when I started getting more memories back and the more I start to face what happened, the more I feel better and not just physically either. So, yeah..talking about it helps alot..at least for me it did :) |
