Day 12 I am a ______goodist___________________________________, and it affects me because I like to please and then once I have agreed to do something I then have to go back and say no. I should and could say no at the outset. I said yes yesterday and no, today. After the no, I was hoping for...

Sending you positive vibes. I like doing the journalling. I cannot say i am totally pain free but it is much better. I look forward to waking up and jumping out of bed. I still sort of creak out and am careful,but when I look back to six months ago I spent days in bed in pain and now I do...

My migraines stopped when the menopause began, but I have just realised that is when my back pain started. Now I have started this course I hope the migraine in my back disappears altogether. On day 9 and I am beginning to feel better.

I am early days as well. I think I am day 9. I am feeling much better. One day at a time. Hope you get relief soon.

Less pain today. Need to spend more time journalling.

Thanks for the reply Walt. I am on day 3 and today is better than yesterday. What I am trying to do is breath deeper and write. That seems to be working. I am in another support group and I have posted there some stuff as some of this is about my upbringing in a cult. I just want to be in a...

Hello, I started the educational programme today. I watched the 20/20 video and it made me both happy and nervous. The brother who is a Dr and has back pain argues rationality - I would prefer that. His brother, a journalist is willing to work through the programme and in doing so felt better...
