I would be ever so grateful for success stories from anybody who’s had success using these techniques, following osteoarthritis and labrum tearing in hips. Thanks!

These podcasts are fantastic! I've listened to each several times. Are you still looking for people to interview/work with in real-time? I have CRPS symptoms that are terrifying and I just can't get anyone to convincingly say they are TMS (or perhaps, I am just not able to hear their answers as...

I so wish I could bring you and your sons warm chocolate chip cookies. You deserve them—and more!

Did you ever worry about peripheral artery disease? I made the GRAVE mistake of Googling that, as I've always had weird circulation in my feet (bluish and red when down for too long), but I've had TMS my whole life and am thin and fit, so the latter doesn't make sense. Still, I suppose I should...

YOU ARE THE BEST!!! This is so helpful. Thank you. I am an overachiever perfectionist, so really, this is my WORK. One more question: at what point did you realize it was no longer injury pain (again, I broke the toe 9 weeks ago) and TMS pain?

Hi Miffy, I am wondering what program you followed after speaking to Dr. Schubiner? Did you do his workbook? I'm looking to make a list of five things I can do everyday that will help calm my nervous system and promote healing and positive thinking. Something like: 1.) Make a gratitude list...

This is so helpful. Thank you! I showed the images to my PT today (attached: of my feet down at night, which is only when the swell; 10 seconds later after elevating) and she thinks I need to go see the orthopedic and perhaps get checked for circulation problems--goodness knows what that means...

Thank you so much for sharing this! My PT mentioned CRPS, then changed her mind because the red goes away as soon as I elevate (and she said CRPS wouldn't change with positioning) and just chalked it up to circulation problems. Did you follow the program on this site? I just started a Journal...

Good morning everyone. I am diving back into TMS work after a long break, as I realize I need a structured program. I broke my toe two months ago. No surgery required, and the xrays indicate it’s healing well. Still, I can’t walk on it. I’m starting to suspect some TMS process involved because...

So the MRI came back negative--no stress fracture, just some small inflammation consistent with "tenosynovitis" The foot doctor seems "convinced" however that it's a stress fracture based on my symptoms. This reads like TMS to me. Besides, how would be he able to know for sure if an MRI came...

David, just curious. What did you do for a stress fracture in terms of healing? And was if found on an Xray or MRI. I guess until I know for sure (despite a negative X ray), I should treat it as such. Thanks!

That is so reassuring about your gums. My teeth have been the other area of concern this past year and right now I have sores in my mouth, in addition to weird nerve sensitivity. If I'm not totally focused on my foot, I'm "living" in my mouth. Regardless of the diagnosis, I clearly have to...

Thank you both for responding. I always love hearing stories of success and empowerment. A lack of empowerment seems to be a big underlying issue for me. I got an Xray that showed nothing wrong (Yay!) but from what I've read, stress fractures don't necessarily show on Xrays--at least not for...
