My Story
I am a 41 year old artist and art educator. I am married with a 2.5 year old son and a full time teaching job. In 2001 (I was single at the time), after two surgeries for thyroid cancer, I started experiencing pain in my feet, hands and lower back. I was initially diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. I proceeded to see every type of doctor and healer....orthopedist, podiatrist, neurologist, acupuncturist, massage therapy, shots, chiropractic, chinese medicine. Nothing worked. A neurologist, in 2002, diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and put me on anti-depressants. The meds actually made me feel better...this was the first clue that perhaps the pain was originating in my brain. In the fall of 2003 I read (and read and read and read) Sarno's Mindbody Prescription and went back into therapy. Within 3 months I was completely pain free. In the 9 years since I have had other health issues (allergic reactions, chronic sinusitus, and shoulder pain), each time i recognized them as TMS and treated them as such, and once again experienced fast healing. In August of this year I started getting plantar fasciitis (foot) pain again. At first I attributed it to wearing flip flops...but then I realized I was back to TMS again. So here I am on this forum, back in therapy, journaling, and hoping that this time I can make it stick and break the cycle of TMS symptoms once and for all. I started about 3 weeks ago and there have been ups/downs in pain, but there has been overall improvement. I definitely feel as though I have made some significant breakthroughs in uncovering some unconscious rage, guilt, and resentment. This website has helped me immensely. And so the work continue.... - Loading...
