Hi,
I'm hoping someone can tell me whether rosacea is tms and can be overcome using Sarno's techniques. On the forum I've read stories about people where rosacea did pass, but I'm really struggling with believing that right now.
To share some context. I had a not so pleasant childhood, both my parents were alcoholics and had mental problems resulting in fights, suicide attempts, forced admission to mental hospitals, divorce etc. I left home when I was nineteen to study and tried to shut them out, which of course only worked to a certain extent. In 2020 my father died and after that both mental and physical symptoms started to pop up. I started having panic attacks, anxiety and started having really bad shoulder pain. Fast forward to 2022 and deciding it would be a good idea to have therapy to come to terms with my past along with a highly stressful and demanding job, my symptoms increased. My entire sidebody became stiff, my legs stiffed so much that I couldn't stand on them, as did my arms, the panic attacks increased and a I experienced tingling all over my body. I got check out thoroughly: ct scans, mri's you name it I had it. All was good. After my last mri result in early may all symptoms disappeared and then 2 weeks later all of a sudden my face turned red, burned and became full of pustules. The doctor says I have rosacea, it's chronic and I should learn to live with it. All the panic and anxiety from the past year is coming back with it. I really want to believe it's a symptom imperative, but have a hard time doing so. So I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something similar and can give me advice as to how to go ahead?
