Finding A Dr in Florida

[JEgol71]

Becca,

Jared is a traveller most brave. I have read his words, known the mystery of them and would run to his voice because in him the sun shines, and faith rolls all our wounds away. He is a rare soul. May his words and love nourish all who pledge themselves to the healing path.

Jared, Darkness calls and you know my affinity for the descent. You can always reach me in the sweetness. Love, love and more love.

Thank you, Plum. You breed kindness with articulation. Would it make sense if I said that the writing of this book -- with the worry that I'm nothing but a fraud blotching every keystroke -- has all my symptoms hankering for a reunion? Fortunately I'm not a party person. But it illustrates the point of TMS with a nice flair of the ol' metacognition.

One thing I've found true of TMS and our personality stencils in general: "If it's good, it's a lie. If it's bad, it's true." May be simple, may be trite, but it's a definite. If one examines how many studies corroborate the freedom we're given to relax (because it's probably psychosomatic), which is the bolus of Sarno's written work, then this rings true, proving the ephemerality of a neurotic's confidence. I use the word "neurotic" endearingly and provincially, perhaps because it was the label I was given by my father, which helps reassure me, and then not reassure me.

I'm not a therapist, but I've been able to help some people head in the right direction. Feel free to email me at JEgol71 at gmail dot com.

Scott Brady is in Orlando, where do you live? I'm sure he could recommend someone to you (most likely his own institute). He's very familiar with Dr. Sarno and TMS, he calls TMS, AOS. As some people do, they take Dr. Sarno's work and label it with their own label. I never got to read Brady's book but people seem to like it.

I'm interested in this Hashimotos Thyroditis. Many females with TMS have contacted me this disorder. It seems to be a mindbody effect. I know a lady who has had back pain and a few other TMS equivalents, she texted me a few days ago after she was diagnosed with Hashimotos. It makes sense since the thyroid has something to do with metabolism ~~~> energy. TMS is an energy overload, in that, there is a great disruption in how the body handles energy. It won't release it, due to the repression, grief, anger, etc. The release (balance) comes from letting go, growth, forgiveness, understanding, etc.

Good luck

Hey SteveO, I too have just recently been diagnosed with Hashimoto's. I too am a TMS type A and have gone through and am still going through some of the same exact symptoms talked about here like IBS, sinus issues, anxiety. I have doubted that I have a thyroid issue as all of my numbers are in the normal ranges other than high antibodies which swing high and low depending on testing. I am convinced it's TMS but this is one of the hardest things to accept as that. It seems it's such a fad now like Sarno mentions in his books about ulcers and how when a malady becomes popular, then so many more develop it or at least are diagnosed with it. I'm very interested in following this thread and adding my journey to the mix. Hopefully, this can be resolved without medication.

Steve, that is interesting. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos over 20 years ago. From my research way back when I learned that it ended up destroying the thyroid in about 70% of the cases. But that means it doesn't in about 30%. So far I have been lucky and I get my thyroid levels tested about every 6 months. I am not on any hormones. I used to get the antibodies levels tested but I haven't done that in a while. I am very interested in hearing that there may be a TMS connection because I have always hoped my body would figure out a way to reverse the Hashimotos before it destroyed my thyroid. I know the doctors say that it not possible but I have heard of people in which it has gone away on its own. This is very encouraging! Now that I am thinking about it, it makes perfect sense.

Ditto with what you just said. I replied to Steve as well. Very interested in following this Hashimoto's thread. Lets solve this one for the many!
