Re: article on pain mind/body connection

[Guest guest]

My opinion is that this is pure, unadulterated poppycock and very close to

quackery! What I feel in my back and with Vulvodynia hasn't got a thing to

do with my brain punishing me for life's stresses. My life was very nearly

perfect with much to look forward to when vulvodynia struck. As for my

back, a car accident at 19 started my chronic problems.

Mind-body connection

Folks,

I'm posting part 1 of this interview here since I got it from a

doctors' website and you wouldn't be able to use a link. If you're

interested, I'll post part 2 later. This has implications for our

society and medicine that extend way beyond the problem of chronic

back pain. Just think of how much anger our society is producing-- just in

schooled kids for a starter--and how any expression of it is

[Guest guest]

I feel the same way as you. I found the urls for the link immediately when I

looked. It is:

Amen Ora and Dusty, I couldn't agree with you more, what Bull !! My life at the time was at it's best when I was hit and there were no hidden psychological problems nor did I hate sex, blah blah blah. In fact I was having a ball and thought someone cursed me, *grin* or stuck those pins in a little doll like Debbie says, LOL

We've had enough physicians telling us that baloney.

Just read this..... *sigh*

Dr. Sarno: It becomes clear why the brain produces these symptoms: They are intended to be a distraction to make sure your internal rage does not come out. The unconscious has been described by some writers as a kind of "maximum-security prison" where the brain keeps undesirable feelings or dangerous feelings repressed.

Internal RAGE?????? it just infuriates me, sorry.

Now 'that's' internal rage (at him) LOL

I think I am having some internal rage issues! My TMJ and vulvodynia

have been acting up since I read the " good " doctor's interview!

Hmmmmm, wonder where that rage is coming from? Believe me, I don't

need those kinds of distractions!
