Hello everyone, I developed a rare sun allergy (solar urticaria) five years ago during a very stressful time. It's very severe- can't be outside during daylight hours. I break out in red, itchy, burning hives in a minute or less then it disappears in about an hour after I am indoors. I went to a holistic doctor who tested me for pretty much everything under the sun (ha, ha) and changed my diet to a plant based diet. She found an infection and mold in my body in which she treated. The mold is gone and the infection has healed, but I still have the sun allergy.
Months ago, I developed pain in my neck, left shoulder, IT band, and piriformis syndrome. A friend suggested Dr. Sarno's book. I googled and watched his videos. The pain in my neck, IT band, and piriformis syndrome completely disappeared immediately to my amazement. I then remembered my doctor telling me that I'm very healthy and she has no idea why I have this terrible sun allergy. I bought/read Dr. Sarno's book, "The Divided Mind." Then I started/finished Alan Gordon's Pain Recovery Program. Now, I'm beginning this program.
The shoulder pain has decreased significantly and the sun allergy has improved for the first time in five years. I still break out, but the pain isn't as severe and covers a smaller portion of exposed skin.
I am convinced my health issues are/have been TMS. I'm still dealing with letting go of fear of the sun.
