As a former TMS'er (got rid of "fibromyalgia" in early '03 based on my research of Sarno) I am now riddled with horrible dust mite allergies following a move to a new apartment.
I know the "culprit" is dust mites based on allergy testing. At first I though I was allergic to my boyfriend's 2 cats who have joined us in this move.
Here's the clinker, for my entire adult life I have lived alone and now I am in a serious relationship and this move is the first time I'm living with a mate. There was dust, carpet, bedding in my last apartment. So can something be sooooo different in the dust, carpet, bedding of this apartment, which, is actually only 1.5 miles from where I'd previously lived.
I'm thinking that the emotional ramfications/surpressed fear of this move have sudden severe allergy symptoms.
Sound likely? |

Since you seem suspicious that it does have an emotional component, why not try to treat it that way? You have had a change in life circumstances and that requires adjustment for sure--it would for me! Esp. with another person! LOL
As others said, dust mites are indeed everywhere. If you now seem to be sensitive to them (or whatever else that you weren't before) you need to address WHY. I have cleaned out a lot of emotional trash in the past years, and addressed things I buried in the past that often festered into physical things. I used to be allergic to some stuff (cats included-my former MIL had them and I disliked going there so there's my reason for the allergy!) that no longer affects me, so I know doing TMS work works!

Yep, dust mites are everywhere. They're impossible to get rid of.
You sure it's not the cats?

I think it sounds very likely. As you said you've been exposed to dust mites before.
This is a big life change for you. Even positive changes can create stress. I would do some writing about it.
"As a former TMS'er"
I don't mean to be a downer but all I can think of when I see this comment is..........
Once a TMSer, always a TMSer. Myself included.
Good luck

Yes!
Takes a bit of adjustment, living with somebody else.
All the best with overcoming the allegies.
