I give up..Pain (you name it, I've had it all) for 5 years, known and accepted TMS for 4 years. Yes, I've had great success overcoming back pain but the severe burning will not stop and is getting worse every day. Now I'm at my breaking point because even a simple thing as lying down causes severe burning. It used to be only when I sat, that of course still happens. But now I can't even lay in bed without severe burning from the waist down to the top of my toes. There is no position I can lay in without burning. Honestly I am crushed, broken, scared and full of anxiety. The one comfort in life was always being able to escape pain or life, by jumping in to bed pain free and just chilling. Now that is gone too. FYI- I have read all the Sarno books, watched all the dvds and interviews, completed online recovery programs and structured education program, had sessions with TMS therapists, tried doing nothing and just get on living, stayed away from all TMS stuff, you name it I have tried it. Even had really great journaling break throughs. I know what to say 1) I am safe 2) get angry with it 3) laugh at it.. but to no avail....
As I write to you with sweat starting to drench my clothes yet again from the intense burning, with burning throughout all my lower body, not knowing how I'll survive another night of intense burning, I just feel sad, really really sad......
A tired and battered TMSer....
