Google also... there is a lot of information online also go to Amazon to find the books cheap ,if you go to the store you will pay an arm and a leg...I also suffer from some PTSD even almost 2 years later but it gets better with time and positive thinking..

google stress/pstd/.htm    It appears that the stress response activates the Hypothalmic -Pitituary-Adrenal  axis (HPA)and raises cortisol levels .there is much evidence out there that PSTD does in fact do some damage but it is not clear that it is permanent,much is written about this, There are books  .'.PSTD the Invisible Injury 'by David Kindrin also' The Body Bears the Brunt -Trauma,Dissasocation, & Disease' by Robert C. Scaer MD
