I have been suffering from this for years.  I am an young , vibrant 62 year old woman, and have tried everything.  The usual meds didn't touch it, the alternative medicine men ended up taking tips from me, and I am now doing accupuncture and Qigong, with a little relief. The very first time I did EFT, I was amazed at how my symptoms disappeared.  Then they returned and I have not be able to duplicate the results.  I don't know if I should be tapping on the physical ailment or try to figure out what the emotional component to this is.  I am not sure where to begin and so want to give this a try. Can anyone out there guide me in the right direction?

Many thanks in advance.

With physical issues like this if the symptoms disappear initially with EFT but then return, that's a strong indication that there will be an emotional component to them.  EFT Master Carol Look has a series of questions that might be able to help you to find leads to tap on, you can find them at http://www.emofree.com/Articles2/ask-right-questions.htm

Perhaps you could have a read of the questions and write down the answers and try tapping on what comes up, then come back to us with more questions and observations of what happened with them, and we might be able to give some more ideas to tap on.  The key with EFT is following the clues that come up as you tap, so if for example you are tapping on something and you suddenly start thinking about an event from the past that seems unrelated, trust that it's a clue from your subconscious and follow the trail (tap on the event that has come up and see where that takes you.)

Very best wishes,

Sorry, forgot one other thing.  It might be useful to really look at when the symptoms first started and what was going on in your life leading up to that time, and also when the symptoms appear now - see if you can see what triggers them.  Often things like reflux can be a fear trigger, so you might be able to see something in your past that caused you to feel anxious, and the reflux may be your body response to fear now.  If the problems started right from when you were young, I'd suggest tapping on anything around your birth that could be an issue as well.  Let us know if you want more info on this.
