Weird.....it is raining today and no pain for the last hour or so. I usually get pain with rain. Also, everytime my pain dissappears for a period of time, I realize how fake the symptoms are. The symptoms can actually immitate an injured feeling and then vanish the next minute. I think what I have to do is not worry so much about what I am angry about, but instead just acknowledge that the emotional buildup exists. I think it causes more stress to have to worry about figuring out what is going on. That leads to obsession. I don't want to have to do that everytime I have pain. I think I am going to try to tell myself that I know the real reason for the pain and not worry if I cannot figure out why it is there.
Correct DP, acknowleging the TMS process is all you probably need to do to short-circuit the pain. Sarno wrote about when he first discoverd TMS he had migraines. He could stop the migaine by thinking about what was bothering him emotionally. He said that many times he could not figure out what was bothering him, but just trying to would stop his migraines.
