So yesterday I went to Thorpe park, one if the biggest theme parks in England... I managed to walk round for 5 hours. . Lots of walking and standing around in queues waiting for the rides. .. and not only that but I went some terrifying rollercoaters, 6 months ago I wouldn't of dared to go on them for fear of them doing damage to my back / neck etc.. sure walking round for that amount of time my back did hurt, but I just ingnored it, kept walking enjoying the day... when I was standing waiting in line I didn't over think it I didn't let myself panic and think I have to sit down I just thought to myself "Yeh it hurts but that's ok" and carried on. .. if someone had told me 6months ago I'd of gone to a theme park I'd have laughed and thought they obviously don't understand the pain I suffer and my limitedness with everyday things. .. I hope if I can carry on this way the tms will just get bored and leave.... I've also been reading a brilliant book my Ali Campbell. .. just do it. .. not so much a tms book. . But it puts your thoughts into perspective. .. this has really helped me.
This to shall pass.... |

Yeah I've been bangin on about L-Tyrosine for ages. I take 5HTP at night also, ( you need L-tyrosine for the 5HTP ) 5HTP, which you naturally get from food, boosts serotonin levels. Helps with mood and relaxation.
Another quick fix that will give you instant results are Chia seeds......these things are awesome. I have a tablespoon in the mornings and I have heaps of go.
Also take a look at colloidal minerals.....these really helped me too.
I have heaps and heaps of energy these days.....easier to handle problems and stress when you have energy....

Great! It was suggested that I take 5-HTP and GABA, and I do from time to time. It seems to help with mood.
For almost 1.5 years I just about only went out with my now ex-girlfriend, because I thought she understood my problem. I think that was too easy a crutch. I am now out with friends who thought I had died.
Today I started the mower and am planning to cut my own grass. I cleaned up the yard debris, and earlier today I rode my bike. These are things I couldn't have done last fall.
The sound of that Briggs & Stratton never sounded so good to my ears, knowing that I will be able cut the lawn myself without "injuring" myself. The pain is fading with each month, it seems
Continued success HB. You will get there. So will I. |

Hey guys, thanks for your kind words: ) fatigue wise I've started taking l-tyrosine which was suggested by darko I think. .. this has made such a difference to my energy levels, so im more than grateful that I came across it. Yesterday it was the theme park today I followed it up with going to the gym, there's nothing in the gym I put off now... I was on the crosstrainer and it wasn't until I'd finished did I think " I not once thought about my back" I try not to "scan" my back now I just try and walk faster or get really focused on what im doing.

Good for you! Seems just a short time ago how rough it was for you. I have read the success stories on here, and many unfold like yours. People say "F-it" to their symptoms and eventually they fade.
I jogged yesterday -- something I thought I couldn't do as little as three months ago-- and I noticed that some of the sore achy things weren't there anymore.
For some of us it's a process and there are no instant "book" cures.
Keep a going -- Soon you will have to change your name to "HealedBack".
Darko has made some fantastic points about it being impossible to repulse the negative, but to work on bringing in the positive. At least that's what I've gotten out of his posts. |
