Beat a Dead Horse

[Guest guest]

As for the power of the brain, Yes, in some cases, you need a desire to

live and something to hope for, in order to stay alive. And some have

said, if you're afraid an attack of RLS is coming and you're thinking about

it, it will come. Well, if that's the case then how do you explain how I

went through two 45 minute MRI's in the past 4 months (scared to death an

attack would prevent me from being still) and I went through both of them

with flying colors, no RLS. It wasn't mind control, it WAS the plain fact

that no attack was coming at that particular time. I get attacks day and

night, but I don't have any control as to when they come. I was just

fortunate during the MRI's. I remember during the research program, Dr.

Bara even told the MRI doctor, that I might have trouble being still. And

I anticipated an attack, but it just didn't come. Also, how do you explain

RLS waking us up in the middle of the night, or when we wake up in the

mornings with it? It isn't on our minds while we sleep, so I hate to keep

beating a dead horse, but I believe that for those that have concentrated

it away, in truth it has just run it's course for that particular attack &

ready to end anyway. I had a friend that always said he didn't need to go

on a diet, he could just think thin. He never reached Thin-dom. He died

of a stroke at the age of 45. And I guess as long as people keep saying

it's in (their) minds ( and that IS what CONCENTRATION is ) then EXPECT me

to keep defending it. I can only keep quiet just so long, and then the

'urk' comes out in me. If I sound close-minded, maybe it's just that I'm

jealous of those of you that can think it away.
