Has your wife considered that her symptoms are PPD (https://ppdassociation.org/diagnosis), i.e. have a psychological cause which can be unconscious?

I had been suffering from unspecific aches, extreme tiredness, insomnia, sore throats, and other non-specific symptoms for the past 8 months. I had to take months of medical leave and went through 10+ doctors, accumulating negative tests and inconsistent diagnoses as I went along. Then, despairing, I read The Mindbody Prescription by Dr. Sarno and realized that my symptoms were due to repressed unconscious emotions. Since starting a free online recovery program a couple of months ago, I've gotten 80% better and I'm planning to resume work in a couple of weeks.

I know this sounds just like more quackery, but I promise you it isn't. There's more and more peer-reviewed research supporting the theory behind PPD, and the track record of long-term recovered patients speaks for itself. Feel free to email me at me [at] bobmichael [dot] io if you or your wife would like to chat more about this.

As a counterpoint, my wife also has a ~~something~~ diagnosis. She's been dealing with it for 10+ years now. She eventually went through 2 or 3 of these types of recovery programs and they did nothing for her. Some of them were even sort of gaslighting, saying that it was all psychological, when it very clearly isn't.

I don't want to diminish what anyone else has gone through, just be sure that you're prepared for yet another treatment to not work if you try something like this. I hope that it does work for those who try it, but it may not, and that can be even more frustrating to someone who has been told by doctor after doctor that "it's all in their head." She tried fixing whatever's in her head, and that also didn't work.
