In my work as a professional and as a survivor. I am a survivor or childhood physical, sexual and emotional abuse. I always had ADHD. I became aware of the ACE study while I was working in MH and seeing good people die prematurely. Our concern and curiosity lead us to the ACE study. A decade later I began to have flashbacks which presented trauma from a very young age...my world was torn apart, I got divorced, lost friends....had EMDR which helped as much as it can and now...the High BP, Obesity, and edema in my lower legs. The Fact sheet for Doctor's is an excellent resource. It is so hard to explain the interplay of my symptoms to Doctor's, especially when the see my medications.
