Thank you for this! Just what I needed to hear. I have been thinking something similar to 'Guest'.

LOL! Yes!

Nice to read this. I am on the roller coaster too (right now going mostly downwards) and I am struggling!

This discussion is interesting! As I have diagnosed fibromyalgia (or TMS as I am beginning to think) many people have suggested a gluten free diet (and lots of other fad diets too, like paleo and LCHF;-)) I have not been very interested as I hate any diet restrictions and I LOVE bread and 'wheat...

This topic is really interesting! I don't have a lip balm compulsion or a huge problem with my dry, flaky lips (though I don't love the fact and I do tend to pick on the flaky parts with my teeth ;-)) but I do have a problem with very dry skin and I do consider this a problem, it bothers me. The...

I feel you. I am in the same situation and I despair some days but some days I feel better and more hopeful that I am on the right track despite lack of progress. It took 53 years to get where I am so I am not expecting it to go away quickly. But I still wish! I am a very impatient person so...

Anita, reading your recovery story was very touching and helpful, I got goose bumps when I read the passage about taking adult beginner ballet classes ;-) I don't dare shower barefoot yet but that is one of my goals. I haven't walked around barefoot at home for years, before the foot pain...

I started on a reply to Redsox and Andy B two weeks ago but suddenly my broadband died and I lost my long text, I got really mad and just shut down the computer screaming. Later I got a cold and so didn’t have the energy until today when I am better. To my surprise there are now many more...

Hi Walt, I have been talking to my subconsicous on all my walks and everytime I feel pain coming on anywhere. I do it at night before falling asleep. Yesterday I sat in the car and yelled and cursed and tried talking to it as if it was an ignorant and annoying child screaming for attention, I...

'I didn't have any trouble convincing myself that my back pain was from TMS (because every other possibility had been eliminated), but I think the medical diagnosis that came with my foot has made it more difficult for my mind to accept that it too is TMS'. This applies to me too, very much so...

In my house we only expressed anger by storming out of the room and into the bedroom or whatever and bang the door shut. Then you stayed there until the anger had subsided and you could go out and nobody would mention the 'outburst' or talk about it, just pretend like it never happened. I still...

Thank you yb44 and Dahlia and Walt, it feels so good to be welcomed and acknowledged by you. That is one of my emotional issues I think. Not feeling welcomed and accepted by others. So thank you. I am moving slowly with SEP and reading other people's stories and listening to the videos/audios is...

Hi there Patrick, Just starting out myself and I just wanted to say hi. So great that you found relief from reading Healing back pain. I read it about a week ago and I didn't get pain relief but hope. Which is big! Hope we''ll get better soon! Lina

Walt, I seem to have trouble doing the exercises in an hour or even more time;-). Second day is still unfinished. So simple questions but very hard to answer! I guess it's the perfectionist in me, trying to do everything as well as I can. The commitment to the program got me stuck too. Haven't...
