Hahah for some reason this reminded me of that time Sheryl Crow came in and sang "Strong Enough" but she kept crowbarring Howard's name in. Not even in a subtle way. Like "Are you strong enough to be my man... HOWARD". It was pretty douchey and just about solidified my opinion that she was the A-lister from the bathroom blowjob story.

It's all in your head. I tell my girlfriend that too when she complains about her back that she claims she injured at work, but I know Dr. Sarno is the only answer. Or maybe Kevin Trudeau.

Andrew Dice Cottontail is awesome.

Having Debbie The Amazing Pet Lady scream "ROBIN ROBIN ROBIN" during the Robin song is getting a bit much, it was funny the first couple times but now it's incredibly obnoxious.

Ok, Ok, I know that Sarno is an easy punching bag, and Stern is insane about how he applies his teachings, but having read his book, I feel I must partially defend him.

Sarno isn't claiming that back injuries are in your mind, he believes that back pain in people who HAVE NOT sustained physical injuries is caused by stress. Think about it: we've had an explosion in back pain in the modern era, when less and less people actually do any physical labor that might lead to back injuries. Howard was a perfect case for Sarno, because he never strained his back, and he previously had no mechanisms for coping with stress. Howard had some bad back pain, and it was caused by stress. No problem, I buy it.

The funny thing is that Howard himself doesn't understand this distinction.

Once his back pain was gone, Howard took the idea way too far: he mixed it up with some classic, self-hating Rae Stern guilt, and decided that no one ever had real back pain, it was all mental. Apparently, Sarno doesn't care about being misrepresented because it sells more books.

I have never heard Howard declare that people with physical/mechanical problems don't need medical care. I suspect that this is a message board joke gone beyond the facts.

I have a very bad anxiety disorder but when I had leg problems as well, one doctor wanted to refer me to psychiatry because he could not find a physical reason.

Hey just a heads up for anyone who may listen to Bubba's show.

I got a really nasty virus/rootkit deal, and I think it was from the icecast servers that are streaming Bubba's show.
I cant be certain, but all signs point to picking it up from there.
They have had some major security issues with the icecast servers. They were hacked a few weeks ago and credit card info was compromised, so it doesnt surprise me that there was still some poo poo left on them thats infecting systems.

While we are on the subject tho. It really seems The BTLS ship is starting to go down.

They tried to do this on the cheap and its coming back to haunt them.

I know I have personally sent Spice and Brent emails explaining how because they use Icecast the paid services will never be secured and anyone who has the streaming link can play it.

Point taken...and I do agree. This largely comes from Howard misunderstanding the facts, it seems.

Howard has absolutely said that people in physical pain should read Dr. Sarno's book. He's done it recently, as a matter of fact. Perhaps in addition to seeking actual medical care, but often it is not framed like that. He states it almost as a fact - that the book will cure them.

Outside of learning some relaxation and/or breathing techniques, what else can you do? Close you eyes, and relax. Even if you don't sleep, you'll get some rest. If you are stressing about not sleeping, then you are creating your own problem.

Most sleep drugs don't work very well, and when they do, people tend to build up a tolerance.

Well you have to consider the target of the advice. JD isn't exactly the type to actually do anything productive in the way of helping his insomnia. Most likely his insomnia is just the "I stay up drinking mountain dew and paying eHookers to finger themselves all night but I'm not tired until the next day" type.

JD took himself off of his anti-depressant because he couldn't orgasm but he still has bad anxiety. He can't be helped if he won't take the meds what else is he supposed to do about insomnia?

Wells definitely had back problems, he had to leave the 2003 world series game 5 because of back spasms. The series was tied 2-2, Florida ended up winning game 5 and 6. I know nobody here cares but it still bothers me that he left that game after 1 inning. Maybe it was a product of stress or whatever but I doubt it, David Wells was (is) a fat gently caress.

Causes of insomnia are either mental or physical. Mental causes (stress) can be alleviated by a number of solutions. By far the most effective solution I've ever had was diet and exercise change. When I ate dinner earlier (before 8pm) and exercised for 30 minutes afterwards, I'd sleep like a rock. If I didn't, I'd wake up throughout the night or not be able to get to sleep at all. Even a nice after-dinner walk was relaxing. Sometimes the reasons are physical, a chemical imbalance or even a thyroid issue can cause it. There are medications that can alleviate these things.

Sleep drugs should be a last resort. Especially Ambien. gently caress that poo poo.
