Hi all, I'm finding this pretty hard because over the past few days the pain has gone up and down, with times where it has hardly been there at all. I went to the doctor after a couple of days to get their opinion (I never want to just assume something is TMS straight off, as per Dr Sarno's...

Hi Walt, Thanks for your reply, it helps to hear how you and others have dealt with TMS and to read about Steve Ozanich's book and approach as well. I will continue to journal and look into feeling the repressed emotions which must be causing this current flare up. Thanks again for the...
