Pain in the Past!
Life with chronic pain. Or, not!
This is my journey with pain, symptoms and sensations throughout my entire body for the last 23 years! Sometimes termed: Chronic pain, Migratory pain, Neuropathic pain, Spontaneous pain, Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS), Perceived Danger Pain (PDP) and others. I will use TMS in this podcast.
After many years of doctor visits, X-rays, MRI's and co-pays, I never really had any real "diagnosis." It was more of a, "Well, it could be...."I came across a book from Dr. John Sarno and wondered if the description of TMS he gave was what I was experiencing.
After months of testing for myself, trials and errors, mental adjustments, and mind/body connections, it appears that after 23 years, I finally have a root cause!
My brain attempting to keep me safe from my emotional pain, by sending my body into physical pain as a "distraction." It sounded preposterous initially however, after months of personal analysis, it appears to be legit. I am documenting my personal experiences in: Pain in the Past!
