I want to ride bike again
Hell yeh...!

I had 'fibromyalgia' (so called) and for over 20 years I was in chronic pain and stopped doing everything i loved, no walking, no cycling, no life. Then - even before i found Sarno and TMS, I had decided that i would be in pain whether i did things or no. So (after many months working up to it) I got a bike, loaded it up and cycled the pilgrim routes of Portugal, Spain and France for 4 months - with my long-suffering husband. It was excruciatingly painful and I was exhausted most of the time BUT - i did it - I got my life back, I felt the pain and just carried on.
Part of the 'fibro' was sciatical pain, and the first day I had to slather myself in muscle lotion from head to toe.
Having since found the Structured Educational Programme on TMSwiki and Sarno's books - I am now pain free and again working as a landscaper and garden designer. I am just about to cycle around Wales too.
Do not let pain dictate to you what you can or cannot do. I have met people cycling cross country who have no legs, horrific injuries and even the blind....
Just do it - right now...!
