    Day 37 Advice please read ??

    hi Saorise ... I also have pedicular screws in for a long time but still believe pain in that area is good old TMS playing its mind games. My pain was moving around my body a lot doing the SEP program, so very tricky it is. I'm no physiotherapist but don't think of the classes as outside the...

    Day 1 Start ofSt start of my journey

    Mindbody Prescription book made a believer out of me as I also felt Sarno was talking directly to me. You sound like a TMSer for sure. I tried everything like you and also had 3 surgeries that never "cured" me. Pain always came back. Give the SEP program your full effort, its definitely worth...

    conflicting diagnosis

    Pls read my story, I had even more severe diagnosis and regret the spine fusions I had done, it was and always will be TMS. I really liked the SEP program and "Mindbody Prescription" by Sarno. good luck on your journey, you can do it!

    Tiger's Back, I mean his back again . . .

    Tiger has got TMS it seems obvious to me, seems like someone who may have a fair bit of repressed emotions hidden deep down and wow surgeries didn't fix everything up like the surgeons said they would, no way! Society's judgement and that would be a sign of weakness that it could possibly be...

    Need Advice and Help

    I can definitely relate Steve, even had 3 fusion surgeries S1-L5-L4 which only gave me short term pain level decrease over time. I can totally relate to the same crippling pain where 100 feet was a good day, burning pain in my leg and butt exactly were my areas affected too, tried every non...

    Big Setback Today

    thanks for sharing Mike, as part of my lifelong battle with the pain, feeling low and depressed is part of the TMS distraction I truly believe. If you get a chance read my story, I can definitely relate, I had a lot of pain shuffling around while doing the SEP too. really focus on "accept and...

    We will help Dr. Sarno change healthcare.

    Yes, I totally agree, we must be vigilant. I have engaged 2 surgeons, my doctor and also a chronic pain clinic here in Canada, in Sarno and TMS and challenged them to research it themselves. They actually were somewhat open to the concepts of mindbody but my observation was also that the...

    The world is not ready for Doctor John E. Sarno.

    I also try to tell people who are open to the possibility. others that laugh it off I don't bother going any deeper. he will always be my hero as well as he cured me twice!(crazy but I forgot after reading "Mind Body Prescription" in the 90's (was a complete match like he was talking to me - I...

    JJ Watt back surgery

    I know interesting and also sad.....now he's rehurt it and may be a career finished even though he did the original surgery when he had no pain....it has to be TMS but will he or sports team western doctors or even society ever really accept that...crazy, maybe someone will direct him to Sarno...

    what would life without TMS be like for you.. well let me tell you

    Hey Kyle...just my opinion but F the MRI!...I tried the everything route including 3 surgeries which has never changed the pain, maybe only temporarily. My abnormalities are beyond moderate and I'm really doing so much better accepting TMS than I ever did blindly accepting a medical...

    I think I have tms but I hold on to physical pain

    hi David ... my abnormalities are pretty wild and tradition western practises(chiro's etal) and surgeries did not improve my pain or quality of life but accepting TMS has truly given me hope....fyi..I found the SEP program really helpful and enlightening...all the best
