I come from a very dysfunctional family. My dad was alcoholic and bipolar. He was always at work or out drinking with his friends. When he was home he was either drunk asleep on the couch or just causing problems. My mom was your basic co- dependent and as long as everyone acted and pretended that everything was ok we were all “ok”. My sister and I were like putting oil and water together. She petty didn’t like me from the time I was born. She is also bipolar like my dad. So my family was far from pleasant. My parents are now divorced but they wanted until my sister and moved out. I thought that was really stupid! Anyways I’ve always had a history of migraines and I got into a car accident with my friend at 15 that’s when I started having shoulder issues. So obviously I my current pain issues are TMS. I have lead a pretty ok adult life I’ve done everything in my power not to be like my family, I’ve been married 25 years, three kids, and I’ve worked as a 911 dispatcher for many years. So now at 42 years I’m now trying to figure myself out and this pain. Nothing else has worked over the last ten years. I’ve tried injections, medications, pain meds, physical therapy, done all the tests, and seen all the specialists. Then I finally ran into this app called the Curable then from there I found this website and Pain program. So I was like what do I have to loose. So far so good! I’m down to taking half my pain thanks to Curable and my pain is way down thanks to this program. I have had an issue with cold weather causing me pain in my joints, ears, body, well let’s just say everywhere! I was having trouble over coming the fear of the cold! Crazy right. But I didn’t realize that’s what was going on so I asked for help in the curable community and I was directed here. I’m so glad was. Thanks to the curable app I already had a jump start on the TMS, I was already journaling, meditating, and trying to more mindful of my thoughts. But this program really broke it and really is teaching how to do these things better.
