Trigger Finger and TMS Success Stories

Leylaluz was diagnosed with RSI and Trigger Finger and had to wear a splint at night. The pain became so bad that she could not longer type or work at the computer. She had initial success relieving her pain after she read Healing Back Pain, by John Sarno. Leyla also mentioned that the book the Presence Process helped her the most. She said, "One book that helped me a lot, besides Dr. Sarno's is "The Presence Process" by Michael Brown. Following the suggestions of this book takes discipline and it's a bit of a trip into the unknown, but I HIGHLY recommend it. I come back to it over and over. My symptoms did not disappear 100% rigth away, but they did improve a lot and have been getting better for 1 1/2 year now. I can work all day in the computer, cook, fold paper (I love origami!) drive and do all normal activities." Read her Trigger Finger Recovery and this amazing thread about her condition.
