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

Oh yea totally, i know when im stressed thats an instant automatic

override for everything we've done to improve things and triggers a

migraine etc, and i know trauma is a big start-trigger for fibro. Our

minds can affect our bodies alot.

But this was more extreme than that. That basicaly it was a religion

being preached at me that because of things undealt with in the past

it causes humans to be in pain, and if we'd all just deal with our

past traumas, our pains would disappear, forever. And how people can

cure blindness, AIDS, cancer.. by doing this.

Thats the extreme of it i cant grasp. yea, our minds are very

powerful. Hence the meditation question id asked earlier in the week,

but as with everything its a balance.

Ive had doctors tell me " you cant be in that much pain, you walked in

here you werent wheeled in "

and i just look them straight in the face and tell them " I walk in

here, because i HAVE to walk. I have three children and and active

duty husband who goes to sea half the year or more. If you felt what i

was feeling, right now, you probablY WOULD have to be wheeled in. I

get up, and move around every day, and go about my life, because the

world doesnt stop moving because I hurt today, my kids dont stop

growing " .. and usually they just stop and stare at me and ask me what

i need, after that.

But it doesnt mean it doesnt hurt.

I guess sometimes people whove never felt it just dont.. see it. Im

not sure. But no the point of the below email was the extremity of the

idea not the idea itself.
