The Brain That Brought My Symptoms Also BROUGHT IT at My Local 5K

If you have neuroplastic symptoms, you can do hard things that you do not even believe are possible. Your brain, even though it has created the symptoms, it can just as easily take them away, even in an instant. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with Runner's Dystonia and CRPS where I lost my ability to walk in an instant. I was told I would never run again, and it was also likely I would never be able to walk normally again, without the assistance of an ankle brace, medication, and Botox to just "manage" my symptoms. I was told to do physical therapy and neurological PT and that I would have pain and symptoms for the rest of my life. After a year of following the traditional medical model, I discovered Dr. John Sarno and the concept of Tension Myositis Syndrome, now called Mindbody Syndrome, and understood that I had neuroplastic symptoms that were being caused by my psychological state and nervous system, and not anything actually physically wrong with me or wrong with my brain. A year later, I decided to take on the challenge of signing up for the local 5k in my town where previously I had been the first female winner overall. I was so scared, and I did not think I could ever be as fast and good of a runner as I was previously before I developed neuroplastic symptoms. I take you through the week leading up to the race, preparing for it using TMS methods and rolling with the increase in all sorts of symptoms, the race itself, and the fantastic end result.
