Sorry to be away for a while. A lot 's happened in a short time.
One minute, despite struggling with symptoms and more, I felt like I could function. Then, I had a shortness of breath that got worse and worse. Then, I had to get someone to give me a ride to an ER. My brother was helping me to try and walk in, but I collapsed and needed a wheelchair. AN ER team then relatively stabilized Now, I've been out for almost a week, I'm in a first floor apartment, and I finally have net access again.
Like any trauma survivor that has had long term untreated PTSD stress, you ask questions:
Did I inadvertently give myself heart disease?
Did my past alcoholism and poor diet play a role in this?
I don't think that I made myself sick. Maybe though at times I didn't separate my pain from the pain of everyone eels. You can't solve all the problems in the world overnight. Now though, as long as I pace myself, move smart and don't do anything ultra stressful, I can do anything. I don't need to be on a strict 24/7 recovery program and have a live-in caregiver. Just keep in mind that it's both physical and mental. Being too tough on yourself will actually hurt you physically.
Any thoughts on this?

If your body can recover it will, provided nothing too much is put in its way. Maybe the same with your mind, I don't know.
