Hilary,
That's correct. I was on the board that day and it was really bad. It made Tom's comeback look like nothing at all. The biggest thing was that Peter did about 10 or 12 posts of the same title (exhiting a basic understanding of obscenities). When you looked at the overview page for the forum (http://tmshelp.com/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=2), that's about all you saw. If anyone new came to the board at the time, I would think that they would immediately leave and not come back. I had something to post, but decided nobody was going to look at what I had to say with all that garbage all over. Luckily, Dave cleaned it out by the next day.

For the record, Peter was not banned. He chose to leave.
Nobody has ever been banned from this site except for spammers. |

Thanks for deleting your remarks. Shame you deleted the blue post on the other thread, though – I quite liked the colour myself! You just can’t please everyone, can you?!

I'm willing to let by-gones, be by-gones, if you are Mrs. McKay. I accept your apology.

Hmm . . . Perhaps SlimmyLou has found a way to vent her rage after all. Just Kidding.
Hey that's an idea, we could all pair up and pick psuedo fight buddies on this sight, and use each other to vent our rage on.
JUST KIDDING AGAIN.
Hi h2o,
I think you have a good idea there. Maybe Dave could create a "Forum Room", where we could cut loose and have at it! Say whatever we FEEL, no holds barred. And like Vegas, what is said there, stays there.
We could vent, bash, and torture each other to our gremlin's delight. Unleash our inner-most thoughts with everyone free to say anything and everything with no recriminations. Say exactly what we think is wrong with each other.
I think it could be an intesting "experiment" in TMS repression
catharsis. The only rules would be;
no cry-babies allowed, enter at your own risk if you dare !

Those who feel compelled to lash out at others in this forum, I urge you to stop before you press that Post button, re-read your message, and think.
When you get angry for no good reason, it is a TMS equivalent. It is a defense mechanism. It may be projection. One thing it is not is productive use of your time, or anything worth sharing on this forum. |

Slimmylou, sorry but I can't find anything insulting in Tom's reply to your post either. |

Slimmylou,
I also think that you were too harsh on Tennis Tom. I agree with him that the blue/bold font in your original post was somewhat hard to read. How about giving Tom a second chance?

Slimmylou,
I have also wondered about all my tools in dealing w/the physical pain (i.e. stretching, massage, tennis balls, etc.) I try to keep it at a minimum but I feel I need to live my life, too. We've already lost so much time to this BS. I also take a prescription med for headaches when they occur. I hate to do it but I can't work on this stuff w/a vise around my skull :).

as a side note, tennis tom thanks for the amateur psychology lesson & so sorry you didn't like my blue ink. I've read your threads as well & don't intend to be bullied with your bull****, the OCD comments to another member were particularly helpful. are you a psychiatrist or are you just a miserable ass? In any event there is no need to reply, you have nothing to say that I want to hear.
Hi slimmylou,
Point well taken and I won't bother you with any of my cocka-mamy TMS notions.
Sorry you feel bullied--that's entirely your perception--I guess some people have no sense of humor.
No, I'm not a psychiatrist--just a miserable ass. I have talked and played tennis with a number of them and know enough not to trust all of their calls.
You asked why no one replied and I just honestly thought one reason could have been the blue ink--it made your post a bit hard to read.
Although you asked for me not to reply, I did so anyway. That's how this internet thing works. You get to insult me for being kind enough to reply and I get to agree with you on what a miserable ass I am.
Have a nice day. |

Hi Slimmylou,
I have had lots of success recovering from TMS symptoms that masked themselves to look like the f-word diagnosis. (I refuse to use the term now.) I had a host of symptoms that all came seemingly at once following the close of a major family crisis. All the tests came back negative, of course.
It took awhile and I do get setbacks occasionally. I'm seeing a TMS therapist and doing daily affirmations from a book called "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay. In the beginning, I did a lot of journalling to get me started as Sarno recommends.
From what I've read, it can take awhile since this is a more severe form of TMS. So don't give up!

Slimmylou,
I didn't reply to your posting right away because I had very limited Internet access. Now, I'm trying to get caught up.
Anyway, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1992. After I learned about Dr. Sarno, I made a full recovery in about 5-6 weeks. I have been recovered for seven years. A good example of the difference Sarno made is bicycling, which I loved to do before the severe pain started. During my fibromyalgia, I gave up bike riding completely for 6 1/2 years. After recovery, I now ride over 1200 miles a year.
For me, journaling was very important in dealing with my repressed emotions. I actually found more sadness than anger; it's hard to say which you will find more of.
Good luck in overcoming your fibromyalgia!

Slimmylou -- I was diagnosed with myofascial pain several months ago. The pain was absolutely unbearable to the point that every day and every night I wished my life would end. When someone mentioned Dr. Sarno's book, I was very skeptical at first, but I started reading it and started to feel better after only a few days. Progress has been slow and uneven, and I'm still struggling with occasional flare-ups. I'm about one month into it now, and I KNOW I'm on the path to complete recovery. I can feel it. As the pain eases, I ease back into physical activities, and my fears ease too. I keep doing my daily "meditations" about my inner issues, speak forcefully to my unconscious when the pain kicks in, and will keep doing it until I'm "cured", that is, I'm completely rid of pain and fear. |
