ptsd Talking About Chronic Pain
In veterans who were being treated for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), many (66%) were also diagnosed with chronic pain problems by their doctors.

The veterans who told their primary care doctor that they had pain before PTSD treatment said that their pain was less during and after the PTSD treatment.

More Of The Same S--t
My congressman was on the news today, yesterday I guess since it is now 4 in the morning, and he was talking about letting vets in my area use the local medical facilities instead of doing all of that traveling. This guy is one of the jerks that refuses to acknowledge that I even exist. He is also one of the self serving dudes that used to say; "Our veterans get the best health care".
