I know how debilitating it is, too. Though my story pales in comparison with what our poor troops have gone through... About six months after the SF earthquake in '89, I found myself unable to fly without freaking out. I would break out in a cold sweat at the hint of turbulence. I took the advice of a passenger who was unfortunate enough to be sitting next to me, and got Valium. I took one on the next flight, but I was loopy for two days. So, here's what I did - meditation and biofeedback...it worked perfectly and I love to fly again.

Not much hope of helping returning troops with Ptsd: WASHINGTON - At least tens of thousands of veterans with non-critical medical issues could suffer delayed or even denied care in coming years to enable President Bush to meet his promise of cutting the deficit in half - if the White House is serious about its proposed budget. After an increase for next year, the Bush budget would turn current trends on their head. Even though the cost of providing medical care to veterans has been growing by leaps and bounds, White House budget documents assume a cutback in 2008 and further cuts thereafter. In fact, the proposed cuts are so draconian that it seems to some that the White House is simply making them up to make its long-term deficit figures look better. More realistic numbers, however, would raise doubts as to whether Bush can keep his promise to wrestle the deficit under control by the time he leaves office. military.com
