I knew someone with PTSD following a brutal rape. He choked her during the rape and she was covered in bruises, etc afterwards. For at least the next two years, she suffered from repeated bouts of bronchitis and yeast infections. She finally insisted the doctor run tests and not just give her a standing prescription for yeast meds (this was before they were available as OTC meds) and they found an infection was the root cause of the yeast infections -- something weird, like vaginal strep.
I have a serious medical condition and any time I am incredibly physically impaired, it impairs my cognitive function as well. I see no reason why we need to have brain trauma per se to make a connection between physical ailments and mental health issues.

- archeopterix 10y agoMeta-reply: (Edited. I fucking hate autocorrect sometimes.) Why do people compulsively inform the internet that they edited their posts after the fact. No one cares. Everyone here can see the edit link. So I quoted the parent, so what? If you edited your post, after a reply, each have the opportunity to either further edit, or even delete irrelevant posts. Deleting your post and re-posting can quickly disconnect your comment from bogus replies that jumped the gun, and landed in between the first post and the edit. We all can see how long the post has been sitting, and if it's only been there a matter of minutes, an edit would not be surprising. Do people feel guilty and dishonest about making edits to their posts? Why?
