Do I Have PTSD?
Renee from Washington, DC, asked:
“Hi Julie, I am a very highly sensitive person and have struggled with anxiety most of my life. After marriage, I was diagnosed with chronic pelvic pain. My doctor put me on anxiety medicine and the pain went away. I went off of the medication at a later date because I thought I was completely healed and wanted to get pregnant, but then I got a chronic yeast infection. I am now again on the anti anxiety meds, and the yeast infection is almost gone. I am very grateful for the anxiety meds but wonder if I will need to be on them for the rest of my life? I think all my anxiety and these strange chronic pelvic pain syndromes are a form PTSD, but my childhood was fairly good except for a couple of things so it’s confusing for me. Am I just more affected because I am so highly sensitive? I don’t know. Thank you, Renee”
Hi Renee,
Many times doctors put patients (especially women) on anti-anxiety meds when they don’t know what’s causing or how to treat symptoms.
In your case, when scanning you, I see pelvic inflammation, an energy leak in the same area, and a lot of yeast throughout your entire system.
Having said all that, I believe ALL of your past and present symptoms, including the anxiety, and your GYN issues, are being caused by a chronic overabundance of Candida (systemic yeast infection). And, I’m not getting you have PTSD.
The “yeasties” are crafty little boogers. They replicate at an amazing rate and cause all sorts of problems. Candida yeast can release over 100 known toxins into the blood stream through tears in the lining of your GI tract that cause a large variety of symptoms. This condition is known as Leaky Gut Syndrome and is called the missing diagnosis by the few doctors who are knowledgeable enough to detect and treat it. The reason Leaky Gut Syndrome isn’t more well known is because it’s so inexpensive to treat, medical providers and drug companies can’t profit much from it.
So, I suggest doing a search on “Candida Yeast Overgrowth” and follow the dietary recommendations. Basically, avoid processed foods, sugars, wine, alcohol, aged and fermented foods and drinks. You may want to get your doctor to prescribe an anti-fungal medication like Nystatin (a natural bacteria that is found in the ground), to initially aid in getting rid of the yeast. Also, check out brain octane oil on bulletproof.com. It’s a combination of coconut and other oils that act as an anti-fungal in your GI tract. You may feel a bit worse the first few days of treatment as the yeast dies off. Just stick with it and know your condition is completely fixable and most likely won’t cause any permanent damage to your body.
Lastly, you have a large energy field leak in your pelvic area. This is caused by emotional trauma experienced either at some point in your life, or in a past life. Emotional issues always precede physical/medical conditions by disrupting the body’s energy flow. I’ll be delighted to help you explore the cause and heal that leak one on one.
For more than twenty years in working with hundreds of people, I’ve come to believe there are three necessary components to healing our bodies. They are: Diagnosing what’s causing the symptom, Healing the medical origin of the symptom, and identifying the Emotional catalyst that caused the health issue.
Hope this helps.
Blessings,
Julie
