Thanks cactusflower Yes I've been checked out but the issue has been that the rheumatologist just says I'm OK with simple raynaulds but that might develop given my age and profile .... so keep coming back for more tests and watch out for developing symptoms So it's hard to get closure and move...

Hello I've been a tmser for 20 plus yrs Dr Sarno and this forum helped me move past long term backpain in my 20s Since then it's been a long list of substitute symptoms Leg, shoulder, elbow etc I've been treating them all as TMS and seem to have navigated most of them with some success...

Hi there I've had TMS for 25 yrs. Pains me to write that but its true I spent the first 8 yrs in my 20s chasing the dragon of a cure to lower back and leg pain via traditional medical routes. MRI, injections, chiro, physio, acupuncture etc etc Then i discovered Sarno, things made sense and...

Hello Pete Your post really resonates with me I have become more and more angry and frustrated over the past 18 years to the point that I am absolutely furious. Enraged. I feel this intensely. Daily. I turn this anger in on myself exclusively - in keeping with my people pleasing goodist traits...

hello all I get terrible hay-fever and dust allergy along with mild asthma & eczema. I have since age of 6 or 7 perhaps. As a child i received imuno shots for the allergies - weekly for years. It didn't help that i recal I still have these allergies and was interested to read Sarno's thoughts on...

I have just signed up for this - thanks for the link Sienna

Hi there yes - i did it all I was travelling in Venezuela at the time so struggled to find a bath but did manage somehow...! I am going to do the PP again soon. it's really very good imo but i would suggest you go with it ad do the whole thing as described

hello there I did the PP 4 years ago and found it very good - it's a real commitment to do the 10 week program but one that i'd recommend as a commitment to yourself It really helped me at the time to shift old patterns i have slipped back into them but i'm keen to revisit the PP

Until today I have always thought that my pain began at 21 and in my back. for some reason i had not made a connection with an earlier phase .. . . . . . When i was 14 i had a long standing knee problem & this has come back to me over the last few years. I used to play a great deal of...
