i think Pam has hit the nail on the head about emotions. This bc journey is such a roller coaster. I can be sad, happy, anxious, feeling I am going to die imminently then thinking I can survive and get well, all within an hour let alone a day or week.
I really believe that the emotional aspects of this disease are as painful as all the physical hell we go through. The constant struggle to survive coupled with being stalked by an unseen enemy is often soul destroying.It seems to me that the after effects of bc are very similar to post traumatic stress experienced by soldiers. The problem is that there seems to be very little recognition that this is a widespread problem.
