Thanks Some Guy, that's helpful. The problem with the doc is that they first prescribe p.t. which is a charade to go through at this point. Really I just want an MRI to be fully certain there's nothing medically wrong, but they may not do it unless I go through p.t. which will take months. I...

Hi folks, I recovered from TMS about 10 years ago after 15 years of getting no answers from some of the 'best' specialists in the Boston area. I used to have terrible back pain, and the docs who saw the MRI of a bulging disc of course attributed the pain to it. Long story short, after...

Thanks Maria, I used to have Sarno's audio book for the Mind Body Prescription, but I've since switched computers and I can't seem to find my file. Good advice to have that handy at all times. :)

Hi all, I used to have severe low back issues for a decade+ until a doctor turned me on to Sarno, and since, I've only had occasional flare-ups that have never worried me because I knew every time it was TMS. They would go away in a day or two. However a week ago, my back felt 'locked', the...

Thanks for the info George - that's helpful to know that shrugging it off as TMS is working for you. FYI, my blood work for Sjorgen's and pre-cancerous antibodies was negative. So at this point, I'm chalking it up as TMS and going to implement the same strategies that helped me overcome a ton...

For the interest of anyone who might either have similar current or future symptoms, I had my thoracic MRI Monday and they found nothing wrong. I was relieved, but also not altogether surprised given my past history of TMS symptoms and myriad of inconclusive MRIs. I met with the neurologist a...

Thank you for this MindBodyPT. I'm glad I'm being checked out by a doctor, but it is very reassuring to hear that given your experience MS is unlikely and that an entire left side of someone's body can be numb from TMS alone. Wow. Your post was very helpful indeed - thanks again!

TMS recoveree since about 2010. Recovered from most symptoms of 15 years. When I get familiar symptoms that flare up, I know what it is, don't worry about it, and then it goes away in a day or two. However, for the last 3 months I've had some new symptoms that I don't know if I can say are TMS...

After 15 years of debilitating chronic pain that started in my mid-twenties, after a new ailment would strike from nowhere on an almost annual basis, after having been beat down under a crushing weight of piled-up chronic health problems, after years of physical therapy, pills, pain centers and...

Just an update, since there was no physical evidence of stricture of anything wrong in the urethral channel, I was referred to a bladder specialist who gave me the IC diet list. Man, is this diet painful! My symptoms have been improved with no caffeine, though not reset to normal. Certainly...

Thanks CandyLu. That's encouraging to hear!

Hi all, Long-time TMS sufferer, had the Sarno TMS epiphany about 4-5 years ago and changed my life forever. Not all pain vanished, but I was able to resume everything I had been avoiding for 10+ years. I'm posting this to see if anyone here has had any similar experiences to what I've been...
