Oh ok, thank you. I'm guessing you know what I was thinking. I was immediatly frightened that It was still with you on a daily basis. Thanks for clearing this up.

John: pls read my success story for full details. Summary: I was unable to get out of bed for at least a month with the pain I had; it had gradually come on and then it overtook me. I could not stand or sit. I was presented with the surgery option. Fear took over. Learned of Dr. Sarno. Read books. I saw Dr. Sarno January 3, 2006 (laid on the floor of his office--could not sit). I went back to work for 2 days the week of January 16th. Figured I'd ease back in to 5 days. Didn't need to. Following week I worked 40 hours easily. I accepted my brain was doing this and wrote and wrote and wrote. Filled spiral-bound notebooks. Also important to read the treatment plan EVERY DAY for at least a month (it's in TDM). yes, seems redundant after a couple times, but do it anyway because it takes a bit to sink into your brain. After reading the books and all, I was sure I had TMS so I knew the pain would go away. And it did. I detailed some of the actual recovery moments (sitting in car! yay!) in successstories.

He ends his lecture with "the pain is a gift" and I probably laughed at the time, but now I see it is true because we are being told "look at something you are thinking or doing!" I have read book after book by now and am convinced most (one book says 95%!) ailments are mind/body disorders (TMS equivalents--I don't use that term much anymore). I'm on The Power of Positive Thinking right now--an oldie but a goodie.

You asked about a relapse. A few months after my miraculous recovery I was thrown into an ugly situation at work and IMMEDIATLY had butt pain! Wow. But I knew why it was happening. I went home and freaked out, cried, screamed, cursed (wasn't allowed to do that as a kid) WHY WHY WHY, did writing--I had to. Not about the pain, about the situation at work. Pain went away. Situation changed, I accepted it. I do occasionally get a pain or weird feeling, but I take out the 2 books I mentioned earlier and work with those suggestions. Or sometimes I can easily relate it to a situation: headache last weekend--son pressuring me about something. I firmly but kindly told him NO and felt total relief.

If anyone reading this is not writing about your situations/feelings, etc. I encourage you to do it NOW.

Hugs,
-Lori
