I CAN'T TAKE IT. Back spasm came back last night. I have had four days off. I now have exhaustion and back pain. I think this might be my brain's last effort at really stepping up the pain. This is terribly terribly frustrating. Since I came off my diet, the tiredness began. I believe that Sarno said that diet is a very strong placebo. Now I am not following it, my brain is freaking out. But I have far less fear about eating what I want. I am going to try really hard not to think about the fatigue or the pain. The good news is that I went running last night - I felt ready for it. I HAD NO PAIN!!!! This is the first time ever. I felt so liberated and excited. I have had pain for the last 12 years when running. It was the only exercise I was frightened to do. It is almost as if my brain doesn't want me to be happy.
