I have had great success healing my daily headache. It's taken 9 months so far and I still have regular flare ups but I'm still working through things and recently found a clinical psychologist with TMS experience, both personally and professionally. Yay! Anyway, I've had a lot of other pain...

Plum, I commend you for doing so well coming this far in your aTN. I was diagnosed with that too, but I know the dx was incorrect. The pain in my face is bad, but NOTHING like what I've heard described or as bad as my head. I'm pretty sure mine is more akin to TMJ pain. So hugs to you for...

Occipital neuralgia is actually relatively recently described. It's electric shock and throbbing pains up the side of your face. As I said, I had 100% confidence in it being TMS and it never fully went away, and that was fine because I knew it would eventually. But since getting back to...

Ok guys, I totally had this down. But now I'm scared again. Let me explain. This might be long. I moved to Colorado 12 years ago. 2 years ago I bought a house (our second, a year after selling first). I developed excruciating head pain and was diagnosed with occipital neuralgia. The only thing...

For Day 2 of the SEP I had to read an article by Kim Ruby. First time around I skipped it because the link didn't work. This time, instead of skipping, I googled the article, and thank goodness I did! Although much of what is in the article is a rehash of the three Sarno books, his...

Thank you for your support and understanding. feeing controlled by another person, especially once you're an adult with your own life, is incredibly debilitating at times. I'm sorry you know how this feels too!

My apologies, I realize how sharp my response was. Clearly, I have some real problems with all this. Sorry, and thank you.

I see what you are saying but it's not that easy to forgive someone you continues to abuse you and would emotionally abuse your own children too, if given even the hint of an opportunity. Forgiveness basically enables a person to continue the way they are and never take accountability. Now, this...

Thanks you. I agree, I will not be revisiting previously journaled stesses, except in the case that I don't feel I dealt with it completely last time around. Over the course of my first time through I realized my mom is a narcissist and I tried to deal with that by journaling etc, but I'm not...

I did the SEP previously and was somewhat successful. After a nasty relapse, 6 months later, I'm just starting my second go through.

Thanks Ellen, The fear of the pain not going is currently worse than the pain itself. I've had other relapses over the past few months, but none this bad. And as I say, the pain never completely went, but until this week I just knew that was ok because it would go eventually. I'll let you all...
