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..
