Hi all, not been on here in yrs I don't think. I just wanted to say I healed from fibromyalgia /tms using sarno method and modern pain theory from the likes of lorimer moseley. Just wanted to say it is absolutely possible to recover from fibro. Over 3 yrs now for me. Patience and persistence. X

I'm struggling to explain to certain friends why I'm seeing a tms therapist for help with anxiety and pain rather than a general psychotherapist . Any ideas how I can explain this?
