So for two years I have had horrible headaches. A neurologist diagnosed me with high cerebral spinal fluid pressure, so it was hard for me to fully believe it was TMS given a physiological explanation. But then toward the middle of last week and through the weekend, things that have historically caused me pain (sneezing, lying down, even feeling stressed) didn't! It was the first time in nearly two years!
This is great, because it has lead me to finally internalize that I don't HAVE to have the pain due to some anomaly in my CSF pressure!
Anyway, I came back to work today, and the pain was back and pretty bad. But for the first time I know FOR SURE that it's TMS.
I don't hate my job, but I don't LOVE it either. There are responsibilities and whatnot, but I'm not sure exactly how to approach the pain. It may have come on because I was looking at coming back to work as kind of a test. "If the pain isn't there when I go back to work then I'm reallly beating it" kind of a thing. Or maybe it was just the natural stress of going to a relatively demanding job.
I'm not sure exactly what to do. Do I argue against the pain? Do I keep repeating, "I don't need to feel this pain." ? Do I simply ignore the pain altogether?
I'd like to have some sort of concrete strategy, but I seem to be bouncing back and forth.
Thanks,
Alan
P.S. Though I'm totally explanation-oriented, I have NO idea why the pain markedly diminished these past five days, since I haven't been actively using TMS techniques and there was no reduction in external stressors. But I'm sure grateful that it did. |

hey alan. I don't know if you have ever read my posts. but i was on here about 3 -4 years ago. I was in paralyzing pain for 2 years from low back pain buttock pain and sciatica. ANyway i am also Dr. Sarnos real patient and live close by in ny. I just recently came back to the forum after about 1-2 years just to let people i am healed and i am trying to help as many people out as i can because I was on the other side years ago.
even though i do not suffer from headaches i can tell you what i did to rid my pain to the point where i dont get it anymore and once in every 9 months when i do get the pain i can rid it in 4 minutes. Seconds even.
What i did besides go to Sarno and his lectures.
i read his book over and over until it sunk in my head. i refute every physical diagnosis I ever gotten i mean seriously knew for 100% fact there was no physical reason for my pain. ( that alone is very important)When i did get the pain i would get mad at it and sometimes speak out loud and yell at it i know its a distraction and your not distracting me. Now i can ignore the pain completely what i mean by this is i dont think twice about it. at all. i also journaled a little bit trying to find out what is causing the pain like maybe my childhood or personality traits. the biggest part of healing is conquering the fear and that was the hardest part for me.
I was petrified of the pain. for months after even seeing Sarno. Eventually, slowly, i stopped being afraid. i also posted recently if u wanna read most of my story and what i went through. i hope i helped you. feel free to email me or post back. but i do not go on that often. |

| Just being aware of it you have tms on the run. I believe most tms is from what you are not aware of in your unsconcious brain. I have several friends who had severe pain from headaches and all are doing very well, just reading Dr.Sarno's books.Reading and applying the info is the secret. All of these people have been through the complete medical tour of treatments and pain killers without success. They are all believers now! |
