Re: Tell them to try this...To Nina

[Guest guest]

I do believe that somehow emotional stress is a trigger. I don't know how this

all fits in. But, I believe that true pain in our bodies can be our bodies

saying " that is enough " . I am certainly not saying that we can get rid of the

pain with some kind of emotional therapy. The PAIN IS REAL pain. But I think

sometimes that the overwhelming emotional traumas of my life have put my body in

physical pain. However, it takes pain medication to treat it. Not some kind of

therapy. I have been therapied to death in the past.

You have a valid point too. Some people with fibro have had a pretty good

life from childhood and into adulthood. They have no past that was so painful

that it kicked them into fibro.

Take care. I hope what I said is making sense because right now I am kind of

fogged and in quite alot of pain. You know, the old noggin just does not want

to piece my thoughts together.

clearing up my emotional trauma. yes, seriously i had them tell me

this. The thing that was ironic about this was that i am a pretty

emotional secure person, and any past traumas like child abuse in the

past etc, i dealt wiht years ago..

I think that was on a different level than just " its in your head " but

fits into the same idea.

its not real, you just need to fix your head and itll go away. You try

it then..
