chronic or acute musculoskeletal, neurological involvement, or respiratory
combat stress
complex post traumatic stress disorder

denial
depression
distrust of others
dizziness

elevated norepinephrine levels
flashbacks, recurring fears
frightening dreams
gastrointestinal (GI) distress
grief, loss
headache, migraine
immune system problems or impact
impaired concentration
intrusive memories and feelings
lowered cortisol levels
memory lapse or memory disturbances
muscle tension, body armoring
numbing
paranoia
perception that the future is shortened
physical symptoms, or general discomfort in other body areas
possible systemic fungal, or medical mimic, other overlapping or comorbid conditions

Page 53, Chapter 8, The Reduction of the Alkali Reserve.  In 1910 Yandell Henderson pointed out that, in the absence of an adequate supply of oxygen, the development of acid substances in the tissues might be expected, in consequence of the partial asphyxia.  Later, George Washington Crile, M.D., and his co-workers reported results which indicated that a condition of acidosis is present in various clinical states, including shock.  And in 1917, during a study of the toxemia of gas-gangrene, Almroth E. Wright, M.D., observed a reduction of the alkalinity of the bl. serum as determined by titration with acid to a certain end point.  Patients suffering from gas-gangrene have many of the symptoms of shock, and Wright argued that the acidemia, as he called it, of this condition was the cause of these symptoms. -- Archive.org, https://archive.org/details/traumaticshock00cann

Pages 387, 388, 389, 659, 660, Migraine...is featured by headache, which occurs periodically and paroxysmally.  Between attacks, the sufferer is completely symptom-free.  The headache is often preceded by prodromal symptoms, or an aura, (and) the pain tends to involve half the head, (and) there are frequently associated disturbances, nervous, gastrointestinal or psychic, and following each attack, there may be temporary depression...In over one half of all cases (of migraine) there is a family history of migraine, or of some disorder definitely allergic in character, such as urticaria (hives), hay fever or asthma.  Many are of the opinion that it is related to epilepsy.  The actual mechanism of the attack appears to be a temporary vascular disturbance in the brain...In some cases (migraines) are preceded hours before by some prodromal symptoms, such as drowsiness, mental and physical hyperactivity, (and) in others, immediately by an aura.  The most common aura is a cloudy area (scotoma), usually to one side, in the field of vision.  This soon becomes a spot of scintillating light flashing in zigzag fashion, and after from 5 to 20 minutes fades away, ushering in the headache.  The pain, seldom bilateral, may remain local or spread over half the head...Usually after from a few hours to one or two days it gradually fades away, but it may stop suddenly, in some patients after an attack of vomiting...Among motor disturbances which frequently appear as part of migraine attacks are aphasia, diplopia, ptosis, paresis (usually of the ocular muscles alone, but sometimes of half the face and also occasionally of an arm or leg) and ataxia.  Among sensory features are numbness of an arm, cutaneous hypersensitivity and neuralgia of the head.  Among vasomotor features are vascular spasm (which explains white migraine, with paleness, dryness and coldness of the skin over half the face or the entire face), and vascular paralysis (which explains red migraine).  Some temporary psychic disturbance would seem to be part of every migraine attack, mental sluggishness, psychic depression, amnesia, marked by change of personality, a phobia, hallucinations of sight and hearing...Severe attacks of migraine may be followed by euphoria, polyuria, exhaustion or drowsiness, which often last several days...Ophthalmoplegic migraine is the name given by Charcot to attacks of migraine with, in addition to the usual features, hemianopsia, paresis or paralysis of one or more of the eye muscles, and distortions of vision...The patient can lessen greatly the frequency of his attacks by keeping himself in good physical condition, living a well-ordered temperate life with regular vacations, avoiding dietary excesses and emotional stress.

Page 1, Basic Description, Migraine is classically characterized by headache which is usually unilateral, clearly paroxysmal, and associated with various disturbances involving the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, special sensory, and central nervous systems.  Among the more important of these symptoms are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, irritability, photophobia, scotoma, hemianopsia, aphasia, hemiparesis, hemianesthesia, and syncope...Between attacks the person is usually hale and hearty.
Page 2, Etiology, Allergy to specific foods has been implicated as a cause of migraine...Anxiety, exhaustion, and other emotional stresses are frequently associated with the presence or absence of attacks.
Page 3, The Acute Attack, The prodrome, when it occurs, may consist of one or more symptoms such as hemiparesis, hemiplegia, hemianesthesia, paresthesias (even to the contralateral foot), aphasia, anomia, severe vertigo, syncope, and profound mood changes (for example, mounting anxiety, euphoria, drowsiness, wakefulness, depression, or hunger).  Frequently there is a very dramatic visual symptomatology, with scintillating scotomata, homonymous hemianopsia, visual blurring, or quadrantic field defects, all of which are usually contralateral to the impending headache.  These symptoms are all usually brief, although in occasional cases they may persist for several hours.  If the prodrome is of the usual short duration, it generally terminates before the onset of the headache.
Pages 3, 4, The headache begins as a deep, diffuse, throbbing ache, usually temporal, orbital, or frontal, although it can localize to any area of the head, face, or neck...The usual headache is unilateral, although the site of pain may shift from side to side in successive attacks, occasionally the headache is bilateral...The headache usually lasts four to six hours, although it can range from minutes to days in duration.
Page 4, Mechanism of Preheadache and Headache Phenomena, Preheadache symptoms are due to cerebral vasoconstriction in the area of localization, such as scotomata being due to occipital cortical ischemia.  The pain of the headache is due to dilation and distention of relaxed cranial arteries, primarily the branches of the external carotid.
Page 5, Association with Related Syndromes, Certain symptoms of decompression sickness are much more common in migraineurs.
Page 6, Recurrent headache, usually unilateral..associated temporary visual disorders preceding the headache...gastrointestinal symptoms...(and) symptoms such as paresthesias, speech disorders, vertigo, sweating, and other transient neurologic and vascular disorders.  These are less frequent components of migraine.
Page 11, If the patient has discomfort which he knows leads to an attack...relax by going to bed in a darkened room.  He can relax further by taking a prolonged hot bath.

These are all said to be comorbid conditions with the multisystem illnesses, because people with these four illnesses have high probabilities of also being diagnosed with these diseases.
Page 29, (P)athophysiological roles, that is roles that are damaging to the body.
Pages 49-68, Chapter 3, Symptoms and Signs
Page 49, Seventeen distinct symptoms and signs are shared by at least two, and in most cases all four, of the multisystem illnesses (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), Fibromyalgia (FM), and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Page 49, It is difficult to see how the complexities of these multisystem illnesses could be explained as being due to anything other than aberrations in their underlying biochemistry.
Page 51, The following are symptoms or signs that are in common among these multisystem illnesses.
Pages 51, 52, 62, 63, 64, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, immune system dysfunction, inflammatory cytokines, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction, anxiety, depression, learning or memory, headache or joint or muscle dysfunction, fatigue, sleep, circulatory, irritable bowel syndrome/leaky gut, food allergies, food intolerances.
Page 52, 331, My goal here is to take the various elements in our NO/ONOO cycle mechanism - nitric oxide, superoxide, peroxynitrite, oxidative stress, cytoplasmic calcium, inflammatory cytokines, vanilloid receptor activity, and NMDA receptor activity - and show how one or more of them may be responsible for each of these symptoms. (NMDA, N-methyl-D-asparate).
Page 67, The various well-accepted diseases that are comorbid with these multisystem illnesses are all inflammatory in nature.
Pages 265-316, Chapter 15, Therapy (supplements, vitamins, nutrition).
Page 266, (T)hese diseases may be effectively treated by down-regulating NO/ONOO cycle biochemistry.
Page 267, Two recent reviews of "alternative" treatments for CFS discuss quite a number of nutritional supplements that may be viewed as down-regulating the NO/ONOO cycle (Alan C. Logan, N.D., and Cathy Wong, N.D., 2001, Archive, and Melvyn R. Werbach, M.D., 2000, Archive).
Page 267, (W)ould suggest is (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) underlying biochemistry.
Page 268, Many sufferers from all four of these diseases (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), Fibromyalgia (FM), and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) have food allergies. (Also, monosodium glutamate, MSG, and aspartame impact health).
Page 279, Reductive stress...can also be caused by oxygen deprivation of tissues, where there is insufficient oxygen to oxidize the NADH effectively.
