    Hello guys. First of all, I want to thank you all for your caring words on my other post. It was really needed. It can sometimes feel like you have nowhere to turn to, cause most people don't understand what you are going through - but you guys do. So thank you for that.

    I want to give you an update. Yesterday was very traumatic for me - actually the last 3 days were hell. The sensations were 1000/10 and I was very desperate for relief. I don't wanna talk more about that, cause I don't wanna give the sensations anymore attention.
    Last night, I chatted with a woman, actually one of Dan Buglios success stories from his YouTube channel. She suffered with the same symptoms as me for 5 years. After she found out about dr. Sarno, she started to tell her brain (EVERY DAY!), that she was full of health, NOT sick, had a strong lovely body, and then started living her life again. She also got rid of all bad words about being sick, and especially the F-word (I think you know what I talk about). In about 3 months she was 90% better and after about 6 months, she was totally free of symptoms.

    So I decided, before I went to sleep, I wanted to try the same. So I did. I kept saying that I was full of health, nothing was wrong with my body, and I love my body. I did it about 10-15 times. And here it comes... Today I woke up with 0 symptoms for the first 10 minutes, and for the first time in months!!!! That couldn't be a coincidence! I couldn't believe it... It was mind blowing what that manifestation and mindset could do! I'm not gonna lie - the sensations started to sneak in on me after that, but it was such a BIG relief while it lasted. And it was a big evidence for me. I'm gonna keep doing it, start living my life the best I can, and then we will see where it brings me. I'm not gonna lie, of course I'm still scared, but fake it till you make it, I guess?

    Hope it was inspirational for you guys. We can do this!

    Wonderful update! That brief bit out of the woods is powerful evidence for TMS and the power of mindset/approach as you mention. Highly recommend you write that you had a pain-free 10 minutes somewhere to come back to -> no better evidence than your own bodily experiences :)

    That is some HUGE evidence!!! I am so glad that you experienced it. That is the proof you need to know this is TMS. You can heal and you will heal! Give yourself some compassion during this time but at the same time-see how you can start living your life again. Show your body that you are healthy and capable of doing things!

    Well done Monica! This is an inspiring anecdote.

    you accomplished something great. You broke the loop of being in a flare and panicking until the symptoms come down on their own. You brought them down by your actions and a mindset change. You took agency over your situation.
