Hi there, I haven't been on here for a couple of months. some of you may remember that after years of pain with legs, back, buttocks, I discovered Sarno's book and was gradually 80% better. I could do my beloved running as much as I wanted and have ran four half marathons since September! My...

Thanks Tom - still feeling very pleased with myself and booking in the next HM! Ah my name - when I was at university, my friend and I made stupid 'posh' versions of each others names, he was Simon Munton and became Simoney Moontana and I was Suzanne Payne and became Oozeworthy Payana! It has...

Thanks Walt - I hope so, we can do so much more than we know.

Hi there all, I have done the structured education programme and would say that I am 50-70% better than I have been in years. I have tried for many years to do our local half marathon and fear and pain have stopped me. Last sunday I did it! I had faith in myself, I knew I would be fine and I...

That is a really good thought - thanks!

So - on day 18, can't say it is an easy ride, leg and knee pain is really bad this week. Am working through the journaling. The emotion that crops up the most is that feeling of the child being abandoned. This has happened to me from the age of 1 up till the age of 20. Although my mother has...

Thanks both, I really appreciate your advice and kindness. It is hard when you are one who always wants to do their best not to try too hard at this!

Hi there all, I found this concept and then this site almost 2 weeks ago so am still very new, have just worked through day 13 on the SEP. My issues began some years ago as knee pain, it all seemed simple then, running caused my knee pain so I had to stop/adapt and it would go away. This kept...
