-ive beaten the last obstacle; which was breaking the conditioning-understanding repression...and understanding elements of my personality.... ive came a long way since my first post in which i was basicly bedridden in pain-its not hard for me to mention the whole story knowing it was just a few months ago-i have acceptance here too-it has been completed-(the healing-the cure) im going to say all the way now -i read an article about how the trail is ingrained through our mind to our symptom based on the focus,attention and fear we give tms.ive re-conditioned my mind to not think this way anymore-but if it trys to linger in that direction-ill just think in the now or become mindful or think psycological-these were more of my last steps- of course ill keep on re-programming and re-versing to stay fine tuned-.ive also been healed of many other things along the way-through studying tms it has made my walk in faith so much stronger-i know now even though i was told a thousand times before how to just believe and watch miracles happen - ive also learned how to not hold in feelings like i want to tell this person something but i cant or feeling guilty because i had to say no to someone or blaming my wife because i didnt know all my perception was rejection -now if i start to have anxiety or pain ill think what am i angry about or anxiuos about that im holding onto and i will face it and stand up to the bully ,now i know what im supposed to do -its been a look into the power that we really have living on the inside of us. i know how to speak to the mountains now.this is part of my recovery story-just a reminder to all my friends on the forum to hang in there and never give up-the magic of john sarno on youtube was one of the videos that led me to seek tms healing-i re-watched it today and it made all the sense in the world to me -when i first watched it i didnt quit get it-its took a lot of work but its over...i feel like i did before i ever got my back hurt ....thanks to all my friends here on the forum ,john sarno for his hard work and my lord jesus....god bless. |

Great for you Mala, travel always bring out the best in me. Get involve with the local, the culture and be happy. Keep us update on your progress and the upcoming meditation course.
Some day I will find the time to post my success story. Right now my daughter and my work take too much time from me. I think I owed her some money in my last life and now I'm paying back. :)

Thanks ace1 i knew you was coming with that-and on a good note i may add-its always filled me with joy to compliment and mean it ,no strain at all.ive learned to know when optimism matters.
I agree Eric. I like to compliment & thank people not becoz i have to but becoz I want to. There are some good people here, our forum friends who take time to read our posts & reply to them thoughtfully. I am always grateful for that. Likewise when I do the same & someone mentions me it makes me feel more real instead of just a name on the forum. I would address & talk to & thank someone if I were speaking to them directly so why not do the same here. In fact I would say that not saying thank you is rude.
Balto, I did not go to the meditation program. I applied & when I mentioned I would be away in China for 5 days in Oct, they gently told me that they prefer taking those who can do the whole duration of the course. Now I have to wait for one in January as I am away in Malaysia for 10 days from the 17th of this month. But I have been trying to do some meditation on my own.
BTW Balto no pressure but when are you going to write yr success story? I'm really looking forward to reading it as I'm sure are many others here on this forum.
Take care.

I know its hard but a lot of people who say they have healed don't post much (bar a few like Forest & Matthew & SteveO & Dave & Balto & a few others, ) & I can understand why. They have a life to live. But the thing is that sometimes I wonder if they have relapsed or are still struggling. Its important to get feedback to know that this method works & is permanent. Its very encouraging.
My very best to you always

Hi Mala,
Did you ever went thru with that meditation program? If you did, how was it?

Thanks ace1 i knew you was coming with that-and on a good note i may add-its always filled me with joy to compliment and mean it ,no strain at all.ive learned to know when optimism matters.thanks for your concern though,i understand the strain theory alot-it really helps me in a lot of ways-mental and physical-remember the no strain theory you expanded on-this was a huge factor in my recovery-now im going to take some time and write my story-its been a whirlwind ,but ill probably take that vacation hillbilly was talking about first-thanks again ace1 for all you do |

Eric may I make a suggestion. Your post above seems like you don't want to forget anyone and you are so nice that you are putting too much pressure on yourself to make sure everyone gets a compliment. Just realize the strain that it takes to do this, (especially the need to do this) and dont ever feel as if you have to. |

Heh, heh 
Balto, are we talking #1 or #2? I find Flomax does a good job of symptomatic relief for #1. Just used it for a 600 mile car trip--no problem.
Thanks for the advice TT, but I have not have any MB symptoms for a very long time. I'm as good as when I was a teenager. I don't have any unreal fear anymore. Well, the only fear I have left is the fear of one day my wife will find out that those cordless tools from Dewalt and Rigid I bought really cost more than $5 a piece.
Back in the bad old tms day, it was so bad that I have to wear aldult diapers when I go to unfamilar place, "just incase".
One of my teacher once told me: the day you're cured is the day you have no more fear thought in your mind. The latter usually have to happened first.

Balto thanks for the advice-its well appreciated-one day i might write a book called the exceptional advice on healing by,tennis tom about how being who you really are is the most important thing in the world-and steveo a man of self educated knowledge that loves to give to the world,and ace1 a very educated doctor with a heart for the people,and hillbilly talking about head knowledge ,and balto the one,the only,and andy64tms two weeks surfing and its all in the bag-love you guys-from a mans perspective-god bless and tt you so crazy ps mala i didnt forget you just know that your in my heart-and shawnsmith keeping it real . |

I had many many fears I overcame. "Just do it" I find is the only way for me.
One of the hardest fear to overcome for me is the fear of not having a bathroom close by wherever I go.

Join Toastmasters and give speeches about things that you daydream about. Go zip lining, skiing, mountain climbing, anything that brings on an adrenaline rush that you now can interpret correctly instead of letting it stultify you as you did in the past. I'm just guessing here about specific activities, but most of the things we experience are hardwired into the sympathetic nervous system at birth as a danger alarm bell. Our only mistake is in interpretation. That's why anxiety disorders, or TMS as most call it here, are really nothing more than an error in interpretation of their own body.
Roller coasters used to cause my legs to stiffen at the thought of getting on them, but during the ride I would actually look forward to the next turn once I survived the first plunge downhill as the cart picked up speed. Start looking for minute-to-minute diversions in your attention to things that make you pause. Pay close attention and make an unemotional appraisal of danger involved. If there is none, aside from symptom uptick, get on the cart and go flying. |

Hillbilly thanks alot you hit the nail on the head-i used to do alot of public speaking up till about 8 yrs ago-it was such a re-lease each time i would get up and get the crowd excited about their lives-it had so much healing-at first i was scared like a little boy,but i grew up fast by the second time and throughly enjoyed every step-my brother has been talking to me about doing it again and i know this will be a step in the right direction-its been so long its like i never did it before.ill have to get out my studies and make a run at it again i know it will be of great benefit.this is the rd i aim to take-so thanks again hillbilly for your former advice and now for this,godbless...(your post are pricless) |

Eric,
Now that you've reached that point, you have to build some resistance in your nervous system. You must go out and do things that before petrified you and produced autonomic symptoms aplenty. This includes public speaking, exploring heights, whatever. Each is a bit different, but the biggies are all the same. Fear is forever going to be your jailer unless you can approach these things without trepidation at all. This will wipe away past failures to face up to your symptoms, and it will ultimately set open the door for you to explore and enjoy the life you were meant to live. |

TT thanks-if im that way ill have to catch up on some tennis-youll have to go light with me-im a novice-the health care plan you mentioned is exactly right-i think you have always ran like the good ol days/its my perception of you-no obstacles but keepin it real-i dont know but a little about my hippie days -went by so fast-im still a hippy at heart,,,ha ha ).-about the scared girl-well i bet she learned how to do just fine as time went by-but thinking about it-it does seem scary with the doc gone-or more like we have a void-but thats where you and dr.zafirides ,steveo and ace1 come in-its good to know i have friends im in awe of-thanks tt-god bless |

Thanks Eric, you're the Eric Hoffer of roofers! If you're ever out in the Wild West I'll put you into the tennis Fastrak lane. TMS in the medicine cabinet is your health-care plan.
I had a worrisome thought the other day--what if I was no longer a hippy and could run like the good ol' days?--I'd have to hire a new coach now that the Good Doctor retired. It's like the little girl at the tent show revival, who comes up on stage using crutches, and is healed by the envangelist laying on of hands, throws away her crutches , runs sobbing into her mother's arms and cries, "Mommy, I'm scared-- it feels so strange."
