Hi everyone, Sorry it's been a while since I have written. I do read the board frequently and have not forgotten you all! I know some skin problems are TMS manifestations, has anyone specifically had rosacea? I was diagnosed with this the other day by a dermatologist and am wondering if anyone here has had it and if they successfully overcame it with the TMS principles. Thanks everyone! Oh and I just bought Sarno's new book today. Looking forward to reading all of it in one sitting! Mary
Mary, I am ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED that Rosacea is an equivalent - why? - because I don't have it any more!! I got Rosacea at a very very stressful time in my life - I then became obsessed with my skin - started avoiding all sorts of foods etc. as I read a book about sugar causing Rosacea. Ever since, my back pain was cured by Sarno's method, my Rosacea has gone away. This last week has been a bit stressful and I have noticed that my skin has broken out a little. Interesting! I don't get the flushing any more or the redness.
I get other symptoms however - like bloating and constipation. These just have to be TMS equivalents - however I have some doubt about this. I keep thinking it is all related to foods. This may indeed be fuelling the problem.
