Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 What horrible things to have endured at a young age. I think you could be right. I believe that emotional stuff that sits there and stews in the subconscious for years does bring physical pain. I believe in some way emotional pain is linked to physical pain. I think our bodies fight back when we have had too much to bear. (especially when it is not dealt with or talked about). This may not be the case with everyone. However, so many of us have gone through so much. love and hugs Debra V. wrote: I am not going to say it could be caused by either emotional issues or injuries, other health problems definitely, but I do think some of my pains were the result of very deeply buried memories that were from my very early child hood. And I only say that because, the pain started in the area of my sterum, spread across my left breast, around my body in a circle and down both arms. The first year that occurred, it was in April and I would wake up in the morning sleeping on my stomach with both hands clinched in fists, pressing on that area. And it is strange, because when I talk about pain to many people, especially when I am describing what has now been diagnosed as fibro, my right hand goes straigth to my heart. The memory that was buried was that 3 weeks before my second birthday, I stood at the front door of my home, with my mother and watched as my older brother got off the bus and as he attempted to cross the highway, he was struck and killed very violently by a drunk driver. I had flash backs that I now know were of that awful event, but it has only been in the past 20 years that I have pulled the information out of various people. My mother never spoke to me directly about it until I realized how close his death was to my 2nd birthday. But she was pretty angry that I asked about it, so I never asked her any more questions. Later, after she was in a nursing home, I found trial transcribes that were more graphic. And I have now asked my surviving aunts and people in my small home town what they know and remember about it. One thing that I found out in November was that my grandmother came and stayed with us following my brother's death -- I have a sister who was about 6 months old when the death occurred. What I did not know was that my mother went to bed and stayed there for quite sometime following my brother's death. So, in someways, thinking about it now, I didn't just loose my adored big brother, but also my mother and I think my father also as he started working at a job that would keep him away from home for a week or more at a time. So, traumas such as that, which was buried and stayed buried for years the physical pain could well have been one way my body and subconcious mind expressed that deep rooted pain. And I will also add that the year prior to that first horrible physical pain, I had two miscarriages early in the year and NEVER allowed myself to become pregnant again. Loss was more than my psychic could take. So, my body expressed it. And to close those thoughts, it's possible, that if I had such buried memories that no one who even talk about, how many others may have had pains that were not explained to them? > > Kris you could be right. It may be more related to physical more than emotional. --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
