Biggest piece of evidence yet! It started with the common cold...
After experiencing symptoms of low back pain and neuropathy in the butt and pelvis since November 2024, the writer noticed a significant reduction in symptoms after contracting a cold, which shifted their brain's focus away from the pain. This experience provided new evidence that their symptoms may be related to brain function rather than a physical issue. The writer credits a combination of factors, including a conversation with a physical therapist and a decision to stop physical therapy, for the improvement. By redirecting their brain's attention to the cold symptoms, the writer was able to manage their pain and regain a sense of normalcy in their life.
