Pain free from hypermobile CTD/fibro dx, 20 years of pain

Yeah, that sounds almost exactly like the same experience I had.

 

That's an excellent account of your journey with, through and out of pain. It's exactly what I wanted to read, the 'warts and all' version. Personally, I have trouble relating to those who read a book about TMS and within a few weeks were completely healed. I'm sure it's symptomatic of me needing to do things the hard way, but that's been my life with pain so far. Anyway, great work, you deserve to feel invincible after going through everything you did!

 

Wowsers. Only a few months into ‘allowing’ and letting go of fear, anxiety and constant body monitoring, following decades of build-up this. I have moments of doubt but mostly positive that I’m on the right path finally. No doctor, drug, supplement of specialist has helped - so it’s quite clearly not something ‘conventional’.

Thanks for sharing!

 

Thank you @JohnDellatto for the length/depth of your story and all the resources you shared. I’m back at Day 1 because I want/need/? more neurophysiological science background and I’m realizing that reading success stories and interacting (from Day1) on this wiki with other TMS aware people will help me. I’m going to get into the resources you mentioned and offer two that helped me.

Molecules of Emotion by Candace Pert
Incognito by David Eagleman

Pert’s book is a Sarno ref that was especially helpful when I battled Silverbacks at a science conference the other day. (Silverback is a name for the dominant older male gorilla. Older male senior scientists sometimes don’t recognize their privileged status and the subtle and not so subtle ways they hurt and disempower women scientists.

thanks again!

 

Np! Yea, definitely keep sinking the material into your head so you get out of the old way of thinking about pain.
