Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, and Fully body pain...

A brief (!!??) summary of two readers’ letters, here and here, on Millers web, letters which I have read very fast so I may have missed things.

A 24 year old man had written to Miller twice today, suffering from Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, and Fully body pain. Miller asked him if he had been beaten when he grew up. He wrote a second letter and answered that he had been.

His father is a Karate Master of Strict Discipline of strict discipline and rigidity. This father threatened his son with breaking every bone in his body if he ever smoked or used drugs. He lived in fear (and tension) for his father but showed the whole world how happy and successful he was despite he felt as an emotional wreck. Living in hypocrisy and not his “true self” that really sounds like. Showing a façade to the surrounding world.

Miller replied that it’s understandable that he has the problems he has having a father like his, living in fear that must have been enormous of being killed if he showed rage. This must be shown in the body; such a rage must produce terrible physical pain.
