Sorry I didn't get back to you. Just read this post today. I will think on that certainly, but don't really get it just reading it a minute ago. Thanks

You might want to take a look at this site, it's helping me a bit. https://palousemindfulness.com/index.html (Online MBSR/Mindfulness (Free)). It's structured like this site but is a mindfulness meditation site.

We seem to have the same problems with the symptoms moving around. I started with back pain, then it was heart palpitations, then gastritis, now back to back pain. Reading Sarnos books are helping, I'm on The Divided Mind now, I seem to do better reading Healing Back Pain over and over. I've...

I still have a lot of problems with the fear of the pain, that is going to be my biggest stumbling block. It is for me such an obvious trick I really don't know why I keep falling into it. I've had a lot of low back pain with spasms for 30 years. I make my living as a potter, so can't bend over...

thank you. Have filled out your questionnaire. Let me know what you think

Thank you for the reply, there is a lot to ponder in your letter. Very interesting and helpfull.

We seem to be going through the same issues. I just posted mine a few minutes ago. I too am aware of some very strong feelings of rage and depression, with some but not much remission of pain. I hope maybe the journal writing will turn something up that I wasn't aware of and what I'm 'aware' of...

I was wondering about what to do with repressed emotions, that have come to light, that nothing can be done about? I don't mean past events, though those have come up as well. I mean things in our lives that in my case are causing intense anger and depression of which I can see no way of doing...

I have had back pain for 30 years with no clinical reason for it. When that started abating and I was getting along at about 70% normal I'd say, I started getting a gnawing feeling in my stomach, which I still have a year and a half later. During this time I have also had very bad pains of and...

I really like the TMS running scared tactic.

That's very interesting. I managed to somewhat let go of my back pain fear, though I'm still fearful of bending over, though I do it. I have been jogging this last week, which I haven't done in 10 years at least. My stomach has gone ballistic all of the sudden. I thought the same as you, must be...

Most of the time the medical profession has really told me next to nothing. Starting this course and reading Dr. Sarno's books, it seems they might have been doing me a favor. I've had TMS for at least 30 years. When I think back on my childhood, probably in one form or another since I was 4 or...

thank you for your support. I'm still hurting, but I have gone jogging for short distances twice in the last few days. I've really conditioned myself over the years to respond to running or bending over with the fear of back spasms. I've made my living as a potter for forty five years and of...
