I have come a long way in such a short time. I stopped posting on the board at a time in my healing process needed to move on and continue the work of TMS in breaking its cycle on my own. Support is what it is all about, yet all healing of the mind and body starts when we are willing to take responsibility and make changes to our own mind and body. I stayed my course to give back what you guys gave me in my initial quest to understand the TMS theory. At that time I found many more answers to my condition and added a spiritual application and component to the mind/ body connection. This was interesting within my discovery of deep journaling in which I taped into making all former past insults to my condition and made peace with them. I openly shared this and most thought it to be out of place, which I gradually excepted it and no longer pushed the envelope. I don’t know if during my stay I helped any from what I shared, it was only out of my desire to give back to what was given to me, Hope for Healing in the mist of a terrible cycle of pain which accompanies stress and emotional hardship. Thank you Tennis Tom for original reaching out and welcoming me in to the family of TMS sufferers. Sorry of my absence to those who benefited from my contribution but I became emotional effected by those of you who were also plagued by this terrible syndrome. I needed to break the cycle and move on, working mostly on myself and people in my life whom I am emotionally responsible for. For those of you who are new to the group I suffered 22 years of back pain due to a traumatic childhood experience in an unstable childhood environment. The past 5 years of my life I was exposed to a host of TMS ailments due to much repressing emotional pain in the responsibility for caring for others. I was plagued with arthritis stiffness, sciatic leg pain, continual neck and upper back spasms, as well as being imprisoned awakening to LBP for 24/7 days a week. This was during the strongest emotional stress and my quest to give all myself to the dedication of healing my son from a so-called untreatable condition (autism). Remember this is what the main stream medical community has also feed us, Saying there is no reason for the condition, nor offering Hope, while only treating symptoms rather than isolating what the original subset of conditions is caused from. In treating his condition he has taught me so much about the human body, mind and sprit, than one can learn in a lifetime of research. This continues to lead me through the search of Hope for Recovery in his conditions as well as been a major contributor to my own recovery. I found my answers to the “truth”, and I hope you all find yours. See [url]http://tmshelp.com/bin/tmsboard.pl?action=view&id=9287&page=5[/url] One thing that helped me enormously was to understand how the body in the way it is wonderfully made has within it self the ability to heal itself Sarno described this principle but in other words. Now what hit home with me was one of the principles to healing is that it requires rest for the body to initiate this process. And in my condition rest was not obtaining this. As you know I woke each morning without even being able to swing my feet out of bed and touch the floor. It is amazing that your brain never sleeps and works on autopilot maintaining the functions that operate your central nervous system within auto immune system. I made another observation understand the mechanics in how the body heals and how it is capable of healing itself; it is also capable of hurting itself. This I believe is the cycle we need to break and is what reinforced my connection to TMS syndrome and how repressed emotions effect the way our bodies response to the outside world. In March of 2003 making many connections, I became pain free for over 6 months with the introduction of Dr Sarno’s work. I connected the dots of my syndrome understanding how my reaction to the environment I live in and applying the methodology that includes; programming, conditioning, placebo, and faith in healing I owe Sarno my gratitude, but believe it was also by Gods mercy I was granted a release of the imprisonment in my mind and body for the second time in my life. I call it my second wake up call. To be giving a chance to live life for what my original purpose was for. I am very grateful because I am only 38 years old and some people don’t realize this until they are on their deathbed and then it is pretty much to late to go back and live life in a different prospective. Yes I still get small bouts with physical reminders that there is still more work to do. But this is what I call my (thorn in the flesh), that I was dealt with experiencing lives trials . One thing I would like to add in closing, a few weeks ago, when I made some major breakthroughs in my sons condition and realized something that reinforced the belief of Hope that comes along with all healing. And I would like to share that with you. How important you have to believe that there is Hope in able to obtain this. Out of curiosity I remembered how Sarno early in his discovery to the TMS pain cycle described this phenomena when treating his patients. I believe in the forward of his original book he wrote that the patients that he developed a relationship with and trusted his care for them, responded the best. He connected with them and they trusted the help he gave. They were willing to change things in their lives and were able to be healed excepting his healing offered to them. So whom should we ultimately trust and who is the great emotional healer and physician in our lives. Thanks again for letting me share this with you. kenny V the v man [i] [blue]Always Hope For Recovery[/blue][/i] [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
