• My “Very Spoiled” Nervous System

    This morning I lay in bed musing about my life as it is right now.  The health problems I am experiencing prevent me from doing anything the least bit stressful.  I had to miss my 40 year class reunion last weekend because every time I thought about going, my body would hurt as if…

• How This Illness Served Me

  I scheduled an appointment with a therapist about a week ago (if I am suffering from conversion disorder, therapy is key in recovery) and one of the things she said to me before we got off the phone was, “I also do medical hypnotism which I think could help you get better.”  My first reaction…

• The Medical Medium Diet : Day 4

  I can’t believe it!  I forgot to weigh myself this morning!     😦       Oh well . . . tomorrow. Today, on top of what I did the first three days, celery juice, smoothies, fruit, nuts and seeds, I did a lot more reading in the book.  I still have a lot…

• The Medical Medium Diet : Day 3

  I weighed 171 today, a loss of 4 pounds in two days!  That is encouraging, to say the least. Sticking to the recommended food is getting easier because I don’t crave the really bad stuff any more, like donuts, chocolate, or ice cream.  I did learn yesterday, though, that I was craving something but didn’t…

• The Medical Medium Diet : Day 1

  After several false starts, I finished my first day on this new way of eating, described in the book “Medical Medium” by Anthony William.  I have been successful overcoming physical problems (Hashimoto’s disease) in the past, by eating right and taking herbs, with the help of a naturopath, and I believe I can do it…

• Tracking Your Emotions.

  Tracking intense emotions . . . . . ..   . … .  .. . .   . ..   . ..   . ..  . … . In my last post I made this brash statement: “Understanding how shame is affecting me, and understanding how shame began when I was young and how I…
