    Right on huckleberry. Reframe is a good term. Cuz it's not really ignoring. It is taking IT the pain the fatigue with u, purely as it is adding nothing extra to it, nor trying to keep it at bay. No fear. No danger. You can take it slow, take it Sarno but in the end ultimately u will not lose...

    karinabrown I dont think you can make them go away before you start living. You start living, come what may and then it goes away. A living momentum. Not a dead waiting for relief. You wait for relief because you are scared of the pain. I decided not to be scared. So I started to work...

    I particularly like this quote from the author "I had to stop living my whole life trying to feel better and just shift back to normal living." Let that sink in. That is in a nutshell what I am walking out. Ups downs rounds and rounds whatever. The new accepted AMA back "went out" advice...

    My opinion Herbie is that you only BELIEVE you needed all that. But you could have still thrown all that out and what made the difference was taking your pain or fatigue or anxiety out into life with you. That is all. You didnt wait until it was all gone. You didnt wait while it furied. You...

    What really works about Sarno? Get back to living your life. As simple as that. TMSing, is an anxiety state. For most here that state is pain. For me it is fatigue. It is all anxiety over a sensation. That keeps the cycle cycling. Buy this...

    By George I thinks I got it! Victory.

    Thanks Walt. It doesnt matter to me why my subconscious sends me pain/fatigue. It is bull ka ka and that is the main thing to me. There is no danger. Only subterfuge. I am reading a book called the Wisdom of Dr. Low and it says and I added in ( ) "If you declare something (pain/fatigue)...
