It runs in my family as well. In the last ten years it has become the best part of my life and grown more than I can imagine. Losing my mind over the undiagnosed pain, and some abuse from childhood was the beginning of true awakening, and it is not a delusion. I didn't have delusions from being sick. I could not stop crying.
Back pain is insidious.
Now when I get a cold, I am more concerned with my back than protecting my lungs. This flu made me feel like when I woke up from back surgery. But I did. Anyway, it is interesting that when I get sick, I rarely get any premonitions. Yes, but having visions is hard to accept.
