Now Playing: Beautiful Times
Posted by Michelle G I really not have been hitting the boards reguarlly as I have been busy with my eight year old at home for summer and out busting my butt looking for a job which I finally found THANK GOD!!! I start Wednesday but enough about that. I was not aware that you are not tolerating your medicine well ..... and I am finding it hard to make a connection to not being able to tolerate your medicine and stress in your life. Then again I am not a Dr. so I would not know. All I can say is I do no what pyshysocial stressors are because I suffer from them to a degree. I let the outside world bother me things that I have no control of like my best friends husbands death not to long ago ... or just finding out that my other best friends mom has cancer .... I take those things to heart and they do manifest themselves physically but psychophysically. As I end up with terrible panic attacks that I have in the past have been hospitalizied for because I thought I was having a heart attack. Basically that is why I see my psychiatrist I have a problem that I just cannot get over by telling myself not to worry . For me it is not that simple I need a little pill to help me do that and it has made all the difference in the world ... I have not had a panic attack in six months. As opposed to three of four a week prior to going and seeing him. Perhaps you should follow up on his thoughts ... I do not know if you see a psychiatrist but sometimes they can really help ... of course you still have to find a therapist to talk with but psychiatrists have a very very interesting take on the human psyche and have a way of making you look at things in a whole new light . Well Goodnight and I hope you can figure all that out I do know you have been through so much lately I cannot even imagine being in your shoes .... it makes me happy to know that we have gals such as you on the board that can teach us a thing or to about fighting the good fight. Take Care now and I hope Ya'll get this cleared up real soon . With Love

I know what pyhysococial stressors are simply because I see a shrink (Psychiatrist) and we have talked extensively about how that stress only adds to my literal pain. Usually speaking pyhysosocial stressors are simply stresses in your life that are literarally making you ill. For example stress causing a stomach ulcer things of that nature. I know it is none of my business but are you having financial problems? If you do not want to answer that I totally understand! I ask because perhaps your GI is thinking that you have things going on in your life other than your illness such as relationship problems etc.... and of course this is all a guess here Jess because I do not know you however, if you compound those problems with those of financial stresses that perhaps your Dr is aware of ..... maybe he is just thinking outloud.
Well Jess I hope this helps like I wrote I am not sure why but the only thing I can figure is he feels you are just too stressed out by powers beyond your control that are influencing your medical treatment thus hindering you get better. Although I am no Dr not even close so I do not know just a thought though.
