On this Thanksgiving, I am thankful for this board and the Sarno books. A year ago I was debilitated with upper back and neck spasms. I was resigned to die. I wanted to die. I wanted someone to put me out of my misery. I wanted to overdose on pills to escape the plight that I was cursed with. 8 months after learning about TMS and this board, I am 75% better. I have flare ups, but not the type that put me in bed unable to move. I have a lot of stress in my life and two siblings who have died from alcoholism. Another brother was gunned down this Monday in his place of work, a small store that he and another guy run together. My brother and his boss will live, albeit with a long road to recovery. But I'm thankful because with all this crap in my life, my TMS symptoms seem to stay at bay pretty well. My back is not crumbling under me and I'm staying steady and strong. So thank you everyone on this board for all your postings. Mary |
