What do you mean by anything "positive"?

I hear you. What are your symptoms, and do they vary at all?

Lee - Bobble is trying to help you, so that response seems unduly harsh. My question for you - if the TMS techniques have not worked for you, what are you doing instead to get better?

One things that has really confused me is a KEY tenet of the Sarno work is that symptoms are a distraction from emotions. Yet, several people here who have gotten fully better (RogueWave, Hillbilly, etc.), have said it is unnecessary to feel repressed emotions, like sadness, anger, rage, to get...

Adam - really curious about your opinion, too.

You referenced a Power Point, do you have a recommended resource for “Rational Recovery”?

Bobble - question for you. My TMS brain seems to be a master at keeping me highly focused on symptoms. As I go more actively into living my life, even with the symptoms, I have noticed the pain has increased even further, which draws me back to focusing on the symptoms and less interested in...

Bobble - yes, I woke up this morning feeling just awful, intense full body aches, back and leg pain GI discomfort. I am incredulous at how poorly I feel, yet I have several business calls and a palates session later today. I am living despite even worse symptoms!

feduccini - thank you - that is a fantastically informative video! The process of living my life with the symptoms is incredibly difficult, but I already tried the other way, or just powered thru and endured the symptoms with this insight. If you don't mind me asking what are your symptoms?

Here's something I did not expect, but maybe should have. Over the last couple of weeks, the more engaged in my life I have gotten (going into my office every day last week, and event on Tuesday evening, a trip to the Mountains over the 4th) the pain is often worse than ever. My nervous system...

Ha ha Bobble. You're right on, as usual in my experience.

Question - I may decide to try Acupuncture to see I can reduce pain. Do folks here think this is a mistake as I know Sarno would very much against body treatments.

Booble (great name, BTW) - thank you for the reinforcement. I think what threw me for a loop was this statement by Rogue - "nervous system that has been on high alert for years in most cases is VERY reluctant to come out of it." My TMS brain read that to mean I may never get better, since I have...

Cactus - sounds like real progress - congrats! I recognize I can oscillate back and forth, but I am getting more confident I know what I need to do. Until recently, I never really seriously considered engaging in life with symptoms. Your characterization that "it's how the work is done in your...
