    Day 1 Trying to overcome and get back on the horse

    Thanks Lonewolfbunny. I haven’t posted in a long time because I’ve totally healed and have been living life once again. It’s so amazing to me how we are in total control of our wellness and it isn’t simple a random bad luck draw that gives us illness and disease. It’s all originated right in our...

    healed for 10+ years

    Once you cross that threshold into balance and peace of mind it all seems to make perfect sense.

    healed for 10+ years

    Hi again everyone. Balto I first read your story a couple of years ago and at that time I was in the worst shape I could imagine. I had constant pain of one variety or another. I was constantly worried about it. Wanting it to go away. I didn’t understand the reason. A Doctor had diagnosed me...

    First of all, I share your passion for the Redsox. Big time fans here in my house. Love the city of Boston. As to your TMS issues I thought I would share some details of my own journey. I dealt with debilitating back pain and eye pain for about 5 years. Found out about TMS last April. I dove...

    Night-time anxiety and insomnia: mindbody prescription

    I also have had chronic insomnia and couldn't figure out how to get a good night's sleep. I would fight it, get up and read, take sleeping pills, warm milk, etc.. At my wife's suggestion I started going to bed with ear buds in my ears playing peaceful nature sounds like rain, thunder...

    Man I just barely read your story and I want to say thank you. This testimonial you shared clicked with me better than any other article, post, book or forum I have read. You made a huge difference to me and my thinking about this. I know I will be cured now. Thanks again Balto. God Bless you!

    Day 1 Revisiting TMS

    Hi Bluesky, You are doing the right thing by reconnecting with the TMS programs. I am also a runner and have had experiences of pain that I associate with running- knee pain, achilles tendonitis. My back pain and neck pain became so severe that I even figured running was the reason for those...

    Day 1 Trying to overcome and get back on the horse

    Thanks Walt. Great advice. I really needed that sleeping advice. I've struggled with poor sleep for a long time. I can get to sleep fine but I'll wake up around 2:30 or 3:00 am and have the hardest time getting back to sleep.

After that career I took up marathon running then ultra running. I've finished 4 Boston Marathons, three 50 mile endurance races and one 100 miler. I've...
