I want to try Mikes tapes, BUT?

Hi blonde:One of the best ways to find out, other than the BB or having people mail you, is to come to our hypno chat support groups on Sundays at 7:30 EST. Feel free to come there and join us. I finished Mike's tapes a little while back and I think I have improved a great deal. I alternate C & D and used to have pretty bad cramping with the C, and would have to take off work several days a month. With the tapes the pain has lessened and I haven't had to take off work.I'm sure you'll get responses from other people.JeanG

Hi Red:You aren't by any chance using webtv or a mac, are you? There are problems with both of them trying to get in.Do you remember exactly what you did to try to get in? I know Wednesday in chat Yahoo was acting up quite a bit and we kept getting booted. Then for a while it wouldn't let people type. It gets very strange like that sometimes. Someone once said it had to do with all the people using Yahoo at a particular time, that it can't handle it.Try to register and get it again some time before chat, and let us know what happens. Someone should be able to give you some suggestions. JeanG

Hi Blonde,I have finished the tapes, and have improved a great deal. It took about 4-5 weeks before I began to notice the change, but I've had IBS for 27 years, and my thought patterns were long established. I have seen many Drs, and this is the best thing I ever did for IBS. It has improved my symptoms greatly, I'd say I'm 80% improved. That means a great deal for me. An added side effect is that my anxiety is reduced too. I can't say I'm cured, as I still have to watch my diet, and take fiber supplements. But it has greatly improved my daily life.Hypnotherapy is totally safe, and Mike is an expert at dealing with IBS patients. I checked in my area for hypnotherapists, but I could not find one that knew about IBS. The tapes are geared for us. They require no work besides the committment to listen according to the schedule. It is for 100 days, and there are some days off. All you need to do is put on a headset and relax to Mike's voice. I usually end up falling asleep with the tapes, but that is ok as the subconscious is still listening.I strongly recommend you try them. They work for all types and symptoms of IBS.AZ

Hi blonde:Look to the top of your screen and you'll see "Chat". Click on that and it will take you to a screen that shows the schedule for the chat room. It will say, across the top of the schedule, "To enter chat follow this link...." Click on the word link and it will bring you to the club screen.On the upper right you will see "Log in". Click on that, and since you are new it will as you to register. Once you do that you will be back at the club screen. Scroll down, and in the middle of the page you will see, "Chat Room" and "Enter". Click on that. I'm not sure at this point if it still asks you to enable voice. If it does, it's a good idea to say yes, because even if you don't have a mic at this point, at least you'll be able to hear people when they talk.Give it a try sometime this weekend before chat in case you have any problems that need to be sorted out. Good luck. JeanG

JeanGI am using an Imac. That must be the problem. Maybe someone knows how to make it work. I'm going to go buy Mike's tapes now. Bye

Hi Redo a post to LuckyLou. She also has a mac and got the problem sorted out. The only problem she is having now is that she still can't get sound in the chat room. Post the question to her both here and over in the Meeting Place so she sees it. I'm sure she'll be glad to help you. Good luck with the tapes. JeanG
