Possible damage to sympathetic nervous system

[Christownsme]

I'm at a point in recovery, step 4, where the self-medicating went away. But in turn I discovered why I self-medicated all these years. I'm scared. I've got a nervous stomach. And I don't know what it has to do with being bipolar unspecified and also the fact that if my memory serves me right, I was traumatically shocked from 110V when I was 5 years old, which could have affected my sympathetic nervous system. Here I could be beating myself up spiritually when the problem lies in an accident long ago, and this could have also brought on my bipolar nature. Where do I go from here?!?

I had similar issues early in recovery. I suggest you get a complete physical and discuss the digestive issues and possibly get a referral to a gastrointerologist.

Good luck,
Trish

Forward-ODAT, the why's only matter w/regard to triggers, once those have been
identified the past serves little purpose. Go to the Doctor there are homopathic
remedies that sooothe almost everything. Today is a new day, glad you made it sober!
