Hi Shirley I went for about four days, with my pain being about a 2 or 3 out of ten. I felt really good. Today it's back at a nine, I had to have a good cry because I thought I was at the end of the road and almost "cured" and I had this horrible day. I came to the site here to get this off...

Good for you Shirley! Don't give up! We are all very proud of you!

Hi Steve I found out about your new book through this website. You had mentioned it in an earlier post. I can't wait to read it. I hope it comes out very soon. You are such an awesome writer, and Steve I am your biggest fan. I have been telling all my friends with pain who know nothing about TMS...

Great idea Walt!

Hi Shirley I am so sorry that you are feeling bad. I am worse right now too as I mentioned the other day. I know what you are going through and it's not easy. But please don't give up. I remember reading something in Steves book about TMS is like having to go through 2 doors. The first door is...

Hi Steve Thanks for more words of wisdom! I read everything that you write very carefully, there's so much to learn from you. As I said, my hours of pain relief came after reading your book, so that was a huge step forward and proof of TMS. I put the book down jumped high in the air and shouted...

Hi lexylucy thanks so much for responding to my post. Yes I just hear the ooooowww I hurt so much from my body. I haven't heard of internal family systems therapy. Is this on the Internet somewhere? How has it helped you? I have done lots of journaling and have lots of past issues to resolve. I...

Hi Shirley, I feel close to you cause we're kindof in the same spot. I hope I can help you in some way and vice versa. I think you're getting through to your subconscious with more success than I am however. Yes right now the pain is winning. I keep telling my mind to stop it and I'm not...

Thanks waterbear, I'm so glad you're feeling better. I'm an artist too. A painter mostly; I taught art to high school kids for 35 years. It's hard to do any art right now which is such a drag! Hugs Debra

Dear Steve Thank you so much for answering my post. I would love to share an experience with you regarding your book. I've been in intense pain for a year and three months and found Dr. Sarnos books and bought them all. He said to get checked by a doctor to eliminate the possibility of disease...

Hi and thanks for your support. I've tried some deep breathing, which is relaxing for sure but I don't really "hear"anything and the pain doesn't change. The pain just tells me it's winning and is controlling me. Hugs Debra

Hi Andrew Thanks for your encouraging words, they're really helpful. I'm trying very hard not to put a timeline on myself. You read about others with instant success after reading one of Dr Sarnos books and start to think you're mentally weak or not doing things right. But I won't give up!

Hi Walt I am honoured to have you as my friend. You are so knowledgable and helpful with your advice. Your dog sounds sweet. I had two cats, one is a Persian, and the other a Himalayan but she died last year at 17. I had a Pekingese dog growing up and I think animals are wonderful and make us...

Thanks very much for your support. The fact That I had one day without pain was very encouraging. I guess after that I thought the pain was on its way out and it came back in full force. It was a huge setback. Yes I'm sure I have lots of inner rage and maybe I just need to hang in there and not...

Hi Andy Thanks for replying to my post. I did read the post you recommended and it certainly helped. I am very committed and I will never give up no matter how long it takes. I guess we all have our ups and downs when in the recovery period and my brain can't help wondering every day "how much...
