Day 13 Books/Articles i have found most helpful

[hecate105]

The Divided Mind by Sarno - sometimes hard to read but excellent
The Great Pain Deception by Ozanich - still reading, about halfway, but I like his style, easier reading and has some great insights.
http://www.tmshelp.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7765 a link I was sent by a fellow fibro sufferer. Has really useful ways of dealing with the stress/pain/emotion cycles, so we don't get 'trapped' in there.

I forgot to answer this on my Day 13, so I will hitchhike a ride on your post. I really liked The Divided Mind too. I'm dipping back into it again. Ace's list from TMSHelp that you linked to is another of my favorites too. I also printed Monte Heuftle's post on sitting with feelings. I will look for a link.

Now I need to go read The Great Pain Deception, but I think I will wait awhile so that I don't distract myself from "doing."

My two favorites are "Hope and Help for your Nerves," by Claire Weekes, and "The Hidden Psychology of Pain," by James Alexander. They're very different and they compliment each other.

I also occasionally meditate on one of Ace's Keys--they are good to go back to when you need a short boost. Monte's "Sitting with Feelings" is also good, though now I don't really need to read it anymore, I just do it.
