Jonjon: I've been at the SEP for about a month and am on day 22. I read Sarno's books many times in the past and it helped me with my back problems, but not all of my other TMS manifestations of which I have a lot! The SEP is really paying off and, although I have a long way to go, day-to-day...

At Day 8 - which was 4 days ago - I was doing great. Then some personal challenges: my son made some stupid decisions with a group of boys and got arrested. Relatively harmless in the grand scheme of things, but something if it stays on his record that will affect him getting into a good college...

Week 1 was great for me. My most current and pressing TMS problem, which I’ve had for about 5 years now, is incredible pain in my left foot which often radiates up my left leg. I often would tape my foot, generally change shoes 2-5 times per day, and either limit my activity or take a lot of...

One week done and I am definitely making progress. The most important thing I realized this week: I have always been looking for the “quick fix,” whether it was through mainstream medicine, alternative approaches, or through my many readings of Dr. Sarno’s books. I just wanted the pain to stop...

Plum - I agree that the state of knowledge has really matured. Although a bit overwhelming (I need to keep telling myself I don't need to look at everything!), it is so great to have people that can share specific techniques, as well as to have the SEP. I think that was one of the shortcomings...

Andy: Thanks so much for the kind words, support, and advice. I'm working through the TMS Recovery Program in parallel with the SEP. I felt that since I finally had the motivation to start journaling again that I needed to get going right away. I'm also reading (about 10% per night to stretch it...

I am a very private person. It’s really difficult for me to post all of this, but I am hoping that it will aid in my recovery. I have or have had more than my share of TMS equivalents: chronic headaches, stomach issues, back and neck pain, TMJ, fibromyalgia, arm pain, sciatica, foot pain and...
