Pain Summary:Lower back: 3 My pains have been very minimal this past weekend. I only feel back pain when I bend over to pick something up. Other than that, it is not very noticeable. I have had stomach cramps and diarrhea all weekend though. I don’t know if it is a symptom of TMS/AOS or a side effect of my pills (which is the most common side effect I get, or if it is just a temporary bug. My feeling is that it is a combination of all...

Pain Summary:Lower back: 5Bottom of left foot: 4Upper back: 3 I’ve decided that while I’m journaling I’d give a summary each morning of my pain for quick reference. Last night I went to bed very stressed out. The painter finished and we have started putting the family room and office back together.

I haven’t had wrist pain in months. I thought I was over it! As I was walking to the Apple Store after lunch to get Rachel’s phone fixed, I...
I am currently reading a book called Pain Free For Life by Dr. Scott Brady. I have listened to the audio books of John E. Sarno name The Mindbody Prescription and Healing Back Pain. Both have greatly helped me overcome RSI or Carpal Tunnel. I haven’t had wrist pain in months! As Dr. Sarno has pointed out, once the pain starts to leave one area, the subconscious mind will move the pain to another area. Essentially you apply the same...
I have had a series of events unfold over the last few days that have been nothing more than miraculous to say the least. I’ve been worried about how we are going to afford bills. We seem to fall short of our budget each month. We spend more than we earn. We have cut back a lot. It’s been hard. I have been wondering if we should sell our house and downsize to find something cheaper and smaller. Rachel and I have looked at other...
