    question. if its ocd and not pain how do you treat it as tms? with pain we tend to ignore it. but with ocd we accept and ignore?

    Baseball65 sounds like you are saying that you had to leave your marriage and change your career for the pain to go away?

    Old post to resurrect, but just wanted to say thank you for the STOP therapy idea and I'm definitely going to try it out. I've done the STOP part before myself but never the task-switching with it. Could be useful to help pay less attention to benign sensations!

    From your specifics about blood levels, diet, workouts, in your comments, the perfectionist screams at me. I say this because I, too, do this. Since I don't trust conventional doctors, I learned what all the levels mean and translate my labwork myself. Trouble with that is that it easily turns into obession and control...oops OCD. I am reading O'zanich's TGPD again and recognizing the relentless conflict I have going on inside my head, trying to figure out what's wrong. I have been looking for the fix "out there"...a practitioner, a supplement, a food, etc. I do like the STOP method as it changes my external direction of thought to internal. It doesn't take matter to fix matter. Question is, where is your energy going, because the brain takes an enormous amount of energy to handle stress of any kind, including strictly self induced. Working on this myself and considerably better lately.
    Btw, Steve's The Wall of Victory on Youtube is very inspiring!
