Yes, yes, yes! Finally after several months of studying the TMS-theory and the psychologic reasons for the pain, I have made a very important discovery! To explain what this discovery is, I will first make a small summery of my symtoms and their coming on.
As I told before in this forum, I do have RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) symptoms in neck and hands. These symptoms came on short after I started a new job in finance.
Before I started that job I had another job for 3 years where I developped myself very good in my profession. While I did that job I succeeded my education (higher economics) and felt very strong in the job that I did. (financial administrative) However, the part that I didn't really like anymore was the routine part of the job, which was imput of data in the accounting system.\ and stuff like that. So I decided it was a good time to move to another company for a better job.
So, I found a new job in another company as Junior Controller, in which I thought the routine part would be far less than in my former job. (more controlling, management accounting etc.) However, to my huge dissapointment the routine part was even bigger, because their working processes and accounting systems were very out of date. So after only 1,5 month I got symptoms in my hands and my neck, which became worser and worser. On a certain moment typing at a keyboard became really painfull. (while working with the mouse was ok!) Finally I couldn't type anymore for only 5 minutes and as a consequense lost that job. (my yearcontract wasn't extended)
So, although I know for several months I didn't like that job for the above reason among others, I still kept symptoms in my hands on variable moments. (and the reason why was not clear to me) Now I have discovered, that when I need to do routinal imput (like posting invoices in my new job) I get more pain. When I confirm after that, that I don't like this routinal imput and actually hate it, I really feel the increase of bloodflow to my hands very clearly. So clearly I never felt it before! It was a quite amazing feeling!
Anyway, this realisation feels really as a breaktrough to me. I now really feel I can take the controll back. (fully and not partial as before) Maybe the consequense of this realisation is that I need to make another choise in my job, (see my other topic) but I think I will find out soon. I will keep you informed of this process.

No, I live in The Hague. (The city of the government) Amsterdam indeed is a very nice city, although I prefer Rotterdam actually. But for tourists Amsterdam does have a lot to offer. |

Hi Bazz,
That's great!
I remember the buzz I got when the blood started flowing back into my hands after having really bad RSI symptoms for six months. I read Dr Sarno's book and soon realised that the RSI had come on to protect me from my fears after I quit my job to become a professional jazz pianist. There were deep rooted insecurities about my ability - just finally acknowledging them let the gates open and the blood came flowing back in! I knew then that I'd cracked it - an amazing feeling!
Cheers.

Ccongratulations Bazz!
Life's too short to do something we hate. Our mindbodies confirm this for us by giving us TMS. Keep searching for pursuits that fulfill your spirit and your soul.
