Fibromyalgia Using the Mind/Body Connection to Heal A Personal Story of Hope

This is the personal story of the author, Kathleen Frolich, who spent years seeking help and answers to all the pain she experienced. In 2002, she was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Medical science offered her no cause or cure for the condition which had become disabling for her. Unwilling to remain dependent on pain medication, she began to research fibromyalgia, chronic myofascial pain and muscle tissue. Trying to fit her history of symptoms into what she learned from the research, she was able to develop her own Theory of Causation. With the cause established, the door for hope and healing opened wide. Within one year, she was 100% medication free and 95% pain and symptom free. Known breathing, relaxation, and imagery techniques were used. In addition, she worked with the understanding and belief that the mind is not separate from the body. It is the body, and what the intellect knows and believes, the body responds to. Most often this is an unconscious process. Her goal was to make aconscious, aware connection between what we call "mind" and the body's natural healing capacity. She states: "If you can consciously think to raise your hand, dance, run, walk or smile, you can do this."Frolich, Kathleen is the author of 'Fibromyalgia Using the Mind/Body Connection to Heal A Personal Story of Hope' with ISBN 9781420838978 and ISBN 1420838970.
