Yes I did have some tingling and a feeling of ants crawling under the skin and all sorts of incorrect messages from my legs and feet, but yes, over time they went away. I believe you can recover too. (for what it's worth)

Hi Ness!

I have been reading your post everyday because like you I believe I can recover but, despite reading Sarno's book I don't really understand it or feel it... deep inside. I understand what he says and I believe him. But, haven't yet had success in influencing my pain levels. Could you please tell us what he taught you? I would love to hear it from you. You said that reading his book you understood the pain came back because you were afraid of it coming back, and that you would shout at your mind saying "stop!". But, that is all you said regarding his teachings. He says lots of things, but he is so vague and generalizes... and his book can be understood in diffrent ways...

Please, could you please tell me more about what you believed and how? Obviously your re-programming of your mind healed you and I would be most thankful if you could give more details or examples of what you would think and believe. How did you re-program your mind?what did you think? That the pain was all emotional but misplaced in the legs? Or that you were afraid of things? Or that you wanted to be taken cared of? (Sarno mentions all of those possibilities). Please tell us more about the mind connection , it would really help to hear it from your own words.

Thank you with all my heart for the info and inspiration you are giving us!

Hi Ness,

It's been so long I don't know if you are still on this board, but I wanted to thank you for putting up your story. I contracted CRPS I in my left lower leg in October of 2014 and it was finally diagnosed this April. I have been working with the story of Roger Carlson (posted on the *edit* under "stories of hope") and using his recovery to work through my own. Yours is the only other story I've seen on full recovery.

I believe I am well on the way to full recovery myself at this time. If anyone is interested in my story/methods just let me know and I'll jump in with a new thread of my own. I would also love to pick your brain a bit about some of the details of your recovery if you are amenable to that!

Thanks for sharing your story!

Theresa

Theresa,

So glad you're feeling/doing better Please share your story! The more support we give each other the better our chances of full recovery.

Ness wasn't on here for a couple years, then popped back in briefly many months ago. Hasn't signed on since then as far as I know. Still doing well though and RSD is a distant memory for her at this point.

Thanks for stopping by and all the best to ya

Ok, will do! I'll start a new thread with my intro and story!
