Half way into my morning run I suddenly felt an all too familiar knife-like pain in my upper back, sharp enough to take my breath away. Like the well-trained TMS'er I am, I did my usual, ignore and proceed. All well and good til the last half mile, when I was slammed with an even sharper pain. This time I had to walk for a bit before once more sliding ever so carefully into my graceful old man trot. A few more stabbing pains along the way, but I made it home..
WHat nasty unconscious gremlins, thought I as I limped across the threshold, are causing this unwelcome lapse? Aha, I remembered, It's New Years Day. 2011. Another year older, another year closer to (actual) decrepitude. My 60'th birthday looms.
That's a lot, and whether or not I feel consciously angry, there's no doubt it's painful. So, as they like to say on the crime shows, I've got my likely suspect. I'm gonna take him down into the basement and shine a big ol spotlight in his face til he confesses his mischief. Then it's into the pokey with him while I go on with my life..
Will advise..
Happy New Year to all...
A.

Thanks hb. Magically, it's just about gone now. Not too many years ago I'd have been laid up for a week.
I think it's all too easy to take this TMS stuff for granted after a while. But it never ceases to amaze me how we can banish pain simply by thinking the right thoughts...
It really is a minor miracle...
Here's a salute to Dr. Sarno. Wonder if he ever reads the forum.. If so, Dr. S., Happy New Year and God bless. :>) |

Nice extended metaphor.
I'm only two months into TMS and I took a look walk on a cold day here, and felt the best I've felt in a long time. I can thank Dr. Sarno for pointing me in the right direction. I can also thank some posters where who introduced me to Dr. Weekes.
It's nice to have a "likely suspect". It's better than an "unidentified subject" or "unsub" (I'm onto Criminal Minds). Like those profilers on Criminal Minds we have to get inside our own brains and duct and induct causes for many physical problems.
Great post.
Keep that suspect in the box till he breaks. Then life without parole. |

I am 51 and found both 40 and 50 hard to take, though not the numbers in between, for whatever reason. My grandma (93 at the time) put it in perspective once, when she said "60 wasn't so bad." I am totally into Ekhart Tolle right now and he says age and time are an illusion. I like that POV even better!
Good work! says the newbie.
take good care,
Sue

| Thanks Mary! I'd just add that the ******'s never down for long. I've never had much trouble with back pain once I got a clue. But there's always something going on at Chez Art :>) |
