Thanks guys! You are very helpful! I will follow the structured program and read Dr. Schubiner's blog. That should help.

That sounds plausible. Interestingly, I do not remember hearing much of CTS in Russia, maybe it wasn't trendy :)) Is there any real statistics on the increase of incidence in back pain during recent decades?

Hey MorComm, I like your story, it really illustrates the point! I'm thinking if someones conducts a randomized serious medical trial analyzing how back pain can be contagious, I bet no medical journal would want to publish that as it will be considered awfully unscientific :)) If we really...

Hey Forest, I am really glad you overcame your symptoms! Could you please tell me, besides realizing what is the true cause, how did you manage to unlearn the pain caused by the computer equipment? Did you use some specific techniques? Did you stop avoiding working with the computer? Thanks!

Hi Forest! I had a thorough look at the research section and that is a lot of support of the Sarno's theory. I read your story long time before and I was amazed how the mind can play tricks with us... I will check out other stories as well, thanks! Have your RSI symptoms passed by the way?

Thanks for your story MorComm, I'm very sorry for your mom... Indeed, reading the Dr. Sarno entirely changed all my perception of the world reality: large portion of the common diseases are emotionally induced and are "contagious", modern medicine is incapable of finding real causes, who would...

Hi MorComm, thanks for supporting my hypothesis! I have an impression that I get the pain while sitting because sitting is associated with my work (I am computer scientist and thus have to spend a lot of time sitting) and doing my work I put a lot of pressure on myself, hence the mind decided to...

I have a friend who is diagnosed with myositis (it is muscle inflammation, an autoimmune malady) and she is not able to recover from it for already 10 months. Do you guys think it can be a variant of PPD? I did not find in the Dr. Sarno's book anything specifically about this desease, however he...

Hi Beach-Girl, Veronica, Thanks a lot for your support! Now I am studying at the university and luckily do not have to sit a lot (max 4 hours a day), so I do not have much problems. But previous semester I spent doing an internship in a company and I had strong back problems exaggerated by...

Hey Guys! I am so glad that I found this wiki and forum. My name is Alexandr and I'm Russian. I am sure my story will sound pretty much familiar here, but anyways I will post it :) Seven years ago, when I was 21, out of the blue my back started to hurt... Whatever treatment I followed didn't...
