Day 25 and I’m feeling pretty good. I’m 100% confident I have TMS so there’s no gray area for me anymore. I started back this week teaching my fitness classes and since I was so fearful of working out initially I did have some symptoms. My right lat was aching and uncomfortable, and the right...

The question to ponder asked what would you change about your life and the one thing I would change is to not be a stay at home mom. It makes me feel like all the college I went thesis useless and I’m not making any money and contributing to the financials. So.. I did try working and taking...

Thank you.. I believe it’s real. Started antibiotics and in 24 hours I’m feeling better. I ended up having strep throat! Ouch! In the mend and going to go for a walk.

I have the exact same thing. I’m on day 14 of the program and about 4 weeks post reading Sarno’s book. Here’s my experience... diagnosed with herniated disc in my neck ( what a joke as I now know) and my right arm affected and subsequently told I had brachial plexus syndrome ( again what a...

has anyone experienced getting really sick with a virus or strep while starting this journey of TMS recovery? I’ve been down for 5 days!

Thanks for the advice. It’s definitely not appealing to drive 45 minutes to a therapist. I’m in the NW suburbs (Roselle) so I’ve gone on the psychology.com website and I’ve found some in my area. Do you find the therapist helpful?

ok wow, a day off. Kind of surprised because like most I’m feeling if I don’t journal I’ll get symptoms. I’m seeing Dr. Stracks tomorrow and I’m both excited and nervous about it. He’s a tms physician in Chicago. I’m just looking for confirmation in the self diagnosis of tms. My question to...

I’ll definitely look for it. Thanks so much! Let’s keep in touch with our progress. It’s so helpful.

Josh.. my pain has moved around.. neck, shoulder blade, arm, forearm, low back.. so weird how that happens. I’ve had one good cry, but not while journaling. It was when a certain song came on. I think I’m going to seek out a tms counselor to really get deep into letting my emotions go. I believe...

I had a very emotional situation today and I really thought I was going to pour my eyes out and cry, but the tears just didn’t flow!! Ugh! Frustrating! Anyone relate? I journaled about this particular situation, but still no good cry over it. Any suggestions? One of the things that really...
