First off today is our rather uninspired voting turnout to the question, ‘How Much Do you Know About PTSD’. The results:
26% = I know everything there is to know.
19% = I know what I experience.
46% = I’m learning but taking it slowly.
7% = I don’t want to know anything just make it go away.
What do you want to know about the thoughts and ideas of your fellow PTSDers? If you have polling questions you think would be interesting to and illuminating of the PTSD community and experience leave a comment or shoot me an email.
Next piece of business: Very exciting - I’m beginning to build the Heal My PTSD, LLC, web site! (For those of you who haven't heard, I’m launching a PTSD advocacy organization.) This will be a web site for the PTSD community, to heal the community, so I’d like to build it with the input of the community. That means YOU. Please take a moment or two to send your favorite PTSD, healing, treatment, resource, info sites and blogs so that I can house all of the best information in one place. You can email me at parasitesof.themind@ yahoo.com.

An interesting little factoid this week:

I haven't heard this before. Anyone have experience with this, or know more about how often it occurs and how it's treated?
