Akomanc, like many of the programs in the VA and military systems they are designed by and for men. This also includes the MST program which even the largest VA in the country just doesn't "get it" . Women who have been subjected to MST is totally different for women than men. There are people here in San Diego that are strong believers in gender specific treatment and are working throughout the world helping providers understand this. In the mean time hang in there and make the VA aware of your concerns. If all else fails ask around in your local community for women therapist who may know of outside resourses and or groups.

Hiya Stephanie....
We spoke last night.
I recently joined a site through YUKU called PTSD & Friends. It is for men and women both with a forum for MST for which I am a moderator. The trouble is that we ahve a handful of women there and are beginning to have a problem with the man/woman combination on the site. Men just don't "get it" and the women don't feel supported. I mentioned your site to the Owner and I truly feel each of us would be better off here. My only concern is that the Owner may feel badly though once he thinks about it, only wants the best for everyone....he just wants to be the conduit to help provide it. Is there a men's PTSD site like this one? Honestly I have not looked but perhaps there could be. PTSD & Friends is very "rough" and since it is under YUKU and not it's own entity, maybe not as accessible. Dunno....

Steph, I started a blog because I can't figure out how to have a forum. x-b
Can you help? alice

Not sure what I had could have been something I eat. I was at a conference for kids. I am not sure what is going on with my husband. His mental health issues where out of control and I has enough so I took him to the doctors and they thought so to. So right now he is angry with me, so little info coming my way right now.

Sorry about not getting a hold of you sooner, my excuss is that we go the flu and then I had to put my husband back into the VA hospital again. I will give you a call soon as I get some things under control here. I wanted you to know that Oregon is holding there women's Veterns conference March 26 & 27 2010.

Hello, have not talk to you in a long time. How are things going for you? Sounds like you are very busy. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know. I need something to sink my teeth into. Take care of yourself.
