Female veteran with RRMS: "When you have the heart of a warrior, but a body with limitations"

"I no longer take for granted all of the things that my body enabled me to do. It would take something away from me, but then it would eventually give most of it back. I’ve always been able to see until I wasn’t. Then it was returned, and I was so grateful for it! Grateful for every sweet little moment with my kids that I got to witness. Grateful even for the ability to drive again after the feeling returned to my legs. Grateful also for the Department of Veterans Affairs. Somehow life was all the more precious after the experience."

From Momentum magazine, written by a female vet: www.nationalmssociety.org/news-and-magazine/momentum-magazin...

CPTSD 2y

Hi there. I hear you’ve seen some stuff.

My grandfather flew Lancasters for the RAF in WW2. I was complimenting my waitress to her manager the other day. He had just retired from the military and was now running this restaurant. My compliment about my waitress was that she was really aware of her tables because she already had “her head on a swivel.”

His eyes narrowed sharply as he looked at me as I looked back at him. Our eyes had a very intense conversation. What do you think the conversation was about. #CPTSD #Veterans #customerservice #PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

A Significant Step in Helping Veterans This 4th of July

One of my trauma triggers is the sound of gunfire. For me, it stems from the sound of gunfire in places I had lived in during my childhood years, during moments of chaos and pain. For my best friend, her intense startle response stems from the man who assaulted her when she was a young [...]

#Veterans DAY

Todays post is about honoring all Veterans who fought for our country and for those who continue to fight for this country today. My father is a Veteran who I consider a hero. I have met many disabled Veterans in my life and I'm always proud of their bravery and Sacrifice I truly believe that our Veterans should be honored everyday not just one day out of the year. Today and everyday I salute all Veterans thank you for your service.
