I'm glad to hear that. That's encouraging, so thanks for sharing.

Sure, gotcha. My message was directed at the OP.

Hi Dorado. Since doing so much mindbody work over the years, do you typically just have pain when recovering from an acute injury, like a dislocation, or do you have chronic pain on a regular basis that you need to manage?

This is a question I'm struggling with myself! I was diagnosed with "Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder" by a rheumatologist last fall, which I understand to be widespread joint hypermobility, but without some of the skin involvement and other diagnostic criteria you have to meet currently to be...

Thank-you both. I appreciate it.

"You're just getting older." I think I was around 30 at the time.

Hi Guys. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I successfully used Dr. Sarno's approach to heal from chronic pain following injuries from a car accident and some other odds and ends over the years. I'm sort of a poster child for a TMS in many ways, in terms of my personality and...

Oh my, this struck a chord. Thank-you for taking the time to share.

I've been having trouble with episodes of my glands swelling (particularly my salivary glands and those in my neck, but sometimes all over) and becoming tender. Sometimes it becomes difficult to swollow and my mouth becomes...

Thank-you, you guys are great. You verbalized much of what I was feeling in my gut and I think I really needed that validation. When you are regularly receiving the types of messages I've been getting from doctors over the last six months, it's easy to get sucked up in all of that and start...
