Freedom of life by Annie Payson Call is a free ebook. Even though it was written many years ago, the content is just as valid today as it was back then. It's an easy read & I hope you find it useful as part of your tms recovery.
I particularly liked chapters 3 & 4.

Honestly, I sometimes really get fed up with my subconscious. It's like it's got a mind of its own.

TJ hope you are OK once you come off the meds. I thought you actually had to take the gapapentin long term for it to take effect. But I guess you know better. And I'm so pleased that you wre able to do some fun things.
I had some hormone testing & bloodwork done & I will be on some supplements for deficiencies in the body. I have also been doing some visualisation, affirmations & positive thinking. It's not easy & I can't Seem to do the visualisation too long . It's kinda hard to visualise doing anything pain free when the body feels otherwise. But I will build up slowly. I'm in Bkk for 2 more days & then back home.
I too just loved the chapter on resistance & have been reading it over & over since it is so short. There is a lot of similarity between her book & Dale Carnegie's stop Worrying & Start Living. She also mentions many things that Sarno has except in a different style but if you read between the lines, she is writing about tms too.
Keep us posted in how you are doing.
Lots of hugs

Hi Mala,
Quite honestly, I've been doing terrible. My stomach pain has been horrendous, which the stress set off my jaw ("TMJ"). I know I'm not doing things right to heal myself. I couldn't take my mind off the physical.
So, I got some vicodin and was taking up to 8 a day for about a week, which didn't help much. Then I switched to Tramadol and gabapentin which took away most of the pain. Tomorrow I'm going to forego the pain meds to see where I'm at. It's been a wonderful break from pain and I've made sure I did things I enjoyed. So, the pain may have lessened quite a bit, but we will see. Thanks for asking.
This article has been such a eye opener concerning my problem with resistance. I'm going to apply the practical advice in my life and see where it takes me concerning the vicious cycle of pain. I have really enjoyed this article.
How are you doing??
