success

Hey guys, I am looking for some PF success stories to reduce fear and get perspective. Anyone have videos or stories to post? Preferably videos.

I dreamt of the day I could write a success story on any online forum and after all of the skepticism I once had about Dr. Sarno, I can't believe it ended up being this forum! I am sharing my story in hopes of inspiring people who may be experiencing severe hand pain/RSI (or any type of...

Found this extremely compelling and hopeful, maybe because I can so relate to it. Interview with Dr. John Stracks, a mind-body doc in Chicago. Patient: a fifty-something year old guy, very active, started developing minor physical issues but became very anxious about. Physical issues started...

An easy one: Andy B's story. It's kickass. I tend to be drawn to the ones I can relate to, i.e. TMS in the same parts of the body. But there are a lot of great ones.

Hi, someone else posted about this but I have not been able to find success stories that involve the ulnar nerve tingling and pain in hands (I have pain in all my fingers including median inervated ones, neck/trapezius tightness/pain, allodynia in palm, hypersensitize elbow). This is all from...

I developed a right drop foot in 2019 which came on suddenly (over an 8 week period). I was diagnosed with CIDP - I had significant neuropathy in my right shin and extending to a drop foot. I had a series of IVIG infusions at Mayo clinic and approx. 8 weeks later I had an exosome infusion...

https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2013/12/20/to-break-the-cycle-of-pain-its-mind-over-matter/ (Beating Back Pain) an excellent article that might give others hope.

I am writing this post because first of all I feel like I owe it. It helps enormously to read success stories, and I benefited from reading others' stories. But unfortunately some people might disappear and just go on with their life after their problems go away. In my case I occasionally...

Below is a link to a personal success story that the writer attributes to PNE (short for pain neuroscience education). Lorimer Moseley instead calls it contemporary pain science--perhaps because many people with chronic pain find the word "neuroscience" scary and off-putting. On the surface...

It's time to declare a success! After 30+ years of all sorts of pain and treatments and opinions from doctors and chiropractors and osteopaths (UK version), I am free of chronic pain. I am also no longer afraid of pain. And I'm not afraid to do things. That's how I decided today was the day...

Jessica Shahinian suffered terribly from over 20 symptoms that left her crippled. Not only has she recovered she is now an executive director at the PPDA. Amazing video link attached.

I feel a little ridiculous posting this but since I have fully dived in to TMS after 10 years of straddling the fence and googling cures and excuses ..I got some great help and advice from a lot of people on this site I have turned the page don't get me wrong the fear is still there but slowly...

Hi everyone, I am looking for any input if the DARE method has worked for anyone. I know anxiety is at the center of my TMS and fear of pain too. I am working through The Great Pain Deception and love Defying the Verdict but as others have mentioned, the anxiety seems to spike as I work through...

I’ve made incredible progress since I ruptured a disc in my neck in 2005, which lead to chronic myofascial pain (aka TMS). After more than 14 years of pain (and 12 years of journaling and writing) I finally just published my memoir about my healing journey: The Invisible Key: Unlocking the...

Re-uploaded the series on youtube since the links were no longer working properly...... A few months ago I finally drew up the courage to make a presentation sharing my experience of dealing with back pain and other nerves pains that eventually lead me to Dr. Sarno's body of work. I dealt with...

My friend Octavia has come so far in her TMS journey, it's absolutely breathtaking. In 2017, she was a spinning instructor leading a very active life when a series of personal tragedies touched off a chain reaction that totally shut down her body, leaving her unable to move without pain, or...

The time is coming to write my success story. Surely I will say a lot of what other people have said but hopefully I will say it in just a way that is different enough that can help someone. I would like to write in the mean time about some of the things which have really deepened my awareness...

Hi guys, It's been a while since I was on this forum after I was able to fix my carpal tunnel syndrome from TMS but my cubital tunnel syndrome has been flaring up rather seriously at times when I work out or at night. I tried to look at some success stories to help myself with reassurance that...

Hello everyone! This is my first post to this site! I just want to say that when I was going through the worst year of my life this website was a shining light for me. I would come on and read success story after story and it filled me with such hope, so thank you! I was a 28 year old woman who...

Hey all, 2 days ago I heard Docs ebook healing back pain. One thing that stood out was, belief that you can heal is Paramount. My personality type fit the criteria but what was astonishing was the description of the type and locations of my pain, it was as if I had been examined by the doc. But...
