I have been meaning to finish writing some blog entries that detail the whole thing. If you're interested here they are in their not-ready-to-be-published form: Short version: http://www.nileshk.com/node/73 http://www.nileshk.com/node/73 Long version: http://www.nileshk.com/node/71 http://www.nileshk.com/node/71 I've been meaning to finish editing these entries for a while, so I will try to do that sometime soon. If you'd like me to notify you when I've finished them, you can e-mail me at hackernews /AT/ nileshk.com. The "long version" doesn't talk much about how I actually cured myself yet, but really details everything that lead up to it. But really, there wasn't much to the actually cure. I read the outline that I linked to, and it just made sense to me. I immediately read The Mindbody Prescription and it was like it explained everything that I had been experiencing and why it happened the way it did. After I finished reading it, I immediately just started trying to go back to normal and doing the things I do without restrictions. I started repeatedly telling myself "there's nothing physically wrong with me." After a week my pain was almost gone, and I told my employers that I'm ready to start working full time again (I was working part-time at that time). A month later I was completely back to normal, typing without pain and without fear of the pain returning, playing my musical instruments without pain, and using my hands and arms without any restrictions. I did also take a look at the things in my life that could have caused repressed emotions. Things that had emotionally effected me, but I just wasn't dealing with. I tried to force myself to face these things by just thinking about them and trying to "feel" the emotions that they caused. This was a gradual process over the course of the next months, and is an ongoing thing I continue to do. Now the reason this worked for me was because I immediately completely believed the ideas it presented. In my case things were lining up for me to come to this realization, I just needed it explained to me the right way (in a scientific, concrete sort of way that I can make sense of and believe). So there is this "leap of faith" you have to take with this approach, which makes it difficult for a lot of people. For me it was easy to take, because it made sense of everything I had experienced (even some things before the wrist pain), whereas before I was confused as to why such a thing could happen and only had useless diagnoses such as "fibromyalgia" or "thoracic outlet syndrome" from my doctors. For me, there had been lots of hints as to what was really going on, but no clear explanation until I came across this. What I'd suggest (assuming you've already seen a neurologist and eliminated diseases like MS as possibilities) is read this book, and if it doesn't immediately make sense to you, just keep it in mind and start observing the patterns of how your pain occurs. Give it another read after a while and see if it makes sense.
