#Psychosomatic Pain

[seven-oomen]

So... my ptsd is causing muscle weakness, fibromyalgia, crps, dizziness and heart palpitations, and plenty of physical symptoms...

Well fuck me.

Apparently ptsd can even cripple you or cause significant physical symptoms.

when i die i’m going to punch whatever demon invented chronic pain in their fucking balls

[anitha-witchlady]

agitation. agitation. agitation.

cannot rest.

body's shaking

in anticipation and in terror.

want to puke

cannot puke.

want to focus

cannot focus.

body hurts all over

jaw clenched.

head pressurized.

welcome to my mind.

chains wrap me like metal drapes

as I shake and shake and shake

and-finally- I pull out my phone,

to distract myself.

Eddie’s just trying to show off his new guitar picks on his TIkTok account while in the background, this conversation is happening:

Steve: Want some m&ms?

Robin, holding out her hand: When I was a kid, I would assign each of my family members a color of m&m and then eat them in order of who I liked the least to who I liked the most.

Steve: Who did you eat last?

Robin: My cat, Lucy. She was the brown one. I would swallow them whole so I wouldn’t hurt her chewing.

Steve: Makes sense

Steve: What color would I be?

Robin: Blue

Steve: *fist pumps*

Beloved friends, I am having a sad day. If you've been with me for the past year, you might remember me complaining about neck pain, so bad I couldn't run, or walk, or sit for prolonged periods of time. This pain never went away, and I was in the line to get a MRI for the last 8 months. Today, I got the results, and they show nothing. There's absolutely nothing wrong with me physically, yet I've been in pain almost every day.

I don't exactly know what to do, medicine won't help me anymore. I have to assume the pain is caused by psychological issues at this point, but I have absolutely no confidence, or a plan to resolving that. Feeling inconsolable for today. I'll figure out what to do about this eventually, hopefully.

you go to the ER for excruciating nerve pain. you say my whole body feels like it's on fire. they take one look at you and say well you're clearly not on fire. they write you a prescription for anxiety and send you home

House in season 6 kills me. He's really doing better, and he's off the Vicodin, and he's seeing a therapist, and he's moving forward by quitting because he knows that that's what he has to do to keep this momentum going.

He finds himself a new passion, he keeps connecting with people, he tries to put his old, miserable life behind one step at a time - and then suddenly you hear "And yet my leg hurts". It hurts because cooking isn't enough of a distraction, because cooking can't change the fact that the guy has half his thighs muscles missing - a literal hole in his leg - and all they gave him to handle his pain was ibuprofen. He is surrounded by doctors, and he is one himself, and yet they're all failing him when it comes to giving him a proper, thought-out pain management plan, as you do with chronic pain patients.

Yes, I know it's a series, I know they needed excuses and arguments and reasons to keep the plot moving forward and the series running for a few more seasons. Who would want to see House outside of PPTH, happy (or at least marginally less miserable) and pain-free, working as a researcher like he wanted - offering the occasional consult for a diagnosis but keeping his distance with his old life? It could work, but then the series wouldn't be called House MD anymore. It would, however, have been more hopeful, more realistic, and it could have spared us the slow descent back into misery that were the latter seasons.

It's just very frustrating to see someone on screen really try to make an effort and turn his life around for the better, in spite of how scary that may be, only to be knocked down by everyone around him - and by life - again and again.

Going through another research binge into my chronic pain. I have symptoms of both...

[try-and-try-and-try-again]

I’m in agony with sciatica/my whole spine currently. Couldn’t sleep. Spent the morning between the floor and the sofa. Tried to brush my teeth, nope couldn’t stay standing up. Doctors insist this is psychosomatic. I can’t.

When I was very little I got stung on the palm by a wasp, and then again a few years later on that same palm, and it is something I am occasionally forced to be reminded of because there is a reoccurring pain in the joints of that hand ever since. I developed a habit of idly running or dragging the backs of my nails across that palm so it would briefly mask the stinging/burning/aching sensations between the phalanges.

seriously under the influence of some kind of curse. i feel finally fully not ill after 2 weeks but woke up with a pouch under my chin swollen up like a bullfrog. posting this from urgent care after changing my flight to tomorrow (for free bc of the fucking cyclone) and getting chewed out by my mom (ride to the airport) for “letting my health anxiety run my life”🧍🏼
