The suggestion I want to make won’t be like any others you will likely receive. About a year ago I developed a severe neuralgia of my own (not TN, but excruciating nonetheless). I researched day and night for solutions for this issue as it was severely impacting my life and the pain was unbearable. Months into my incessant research, I just happened to stumble across a random post in a pain forum and the person suggested looking into Dr. John Sarno’s work. His work led him to discover what he called TMS, or Tension Myositis syndrome (also known as Tension Myoneural Syndrome if it affects the nerves). His work led him to believe most chronic pain is actually TMS, and that’s why physical therapy, meds, etc often doesn’t cure these issues in the long term. He believed that repressed emotions were the main contributor to chronic pain, and the body will often create physical pain (even excruciating level pain) as a result. He believed conditions like fibromyalgia, migraines, chronic back/knee/foot/etc pain, nerve pain, numbness, tingling, etc were likely TMS if no true physical cause could be found by a doctor.

At first I outright rejected the idea, but then figured I had nothing to lose, so I bought several of his books and started reading. There are specific personality traits of people who are more susceptible to developing TMS, and I had most of them. Within a couple of months I was roughly 75% cured, and now a year later I’d say I’m 90% cured with only occasional minor flares. His books are all excellent, but The Mindbody Prescription was my favorite. I think he even talks about his own brief experience with TN-like pain and how he cured it.

His work was and still is very much rejected by mainstream medicine, which made me even more curious about whether it would work. It worked for me, maybe see if it can help your mom?

Where are the parents? I didn’t see them mentioned at all in the article, but I’d think they would have had to sign off on this insanity.

Isn’t this the same guy who in the past has tweeted utterly vile things about children?

Yes, I’m seeing this too. Also, people coming up to green lights and stopping, or just not going when the light turns green. It’s getting scary.

I recently saw a Bud Light display at my local store in the shape of a tank and thought the same thing! It’s just embarrassing at this point.
