Thanks for that Walt. In the past I've always just listened to what I was being told about my knees and that I should do the injections, medications and at some point get the knee replacements. I haven't done any of that so far and don't plan to. I haven't thought about TMS when it came to...

I've had xrays several times over the years with the latest about a year ago. Each time I was told I have advanced osteoarthritis. However, I wasn't much bothered with it. Lately, though, their very stiff and walking is painful. Anyway, the knee problem doesn't compare with the intensity of...

Some time ago I started a thread about sciatica which was the most painful and debilitating experience in my life. I got a TMS diagnosis from Dr. Raushbaum and am doing much better with the sciatica. The SEP is tremendously helpful and this forum has been my saving grace. So thamks to...

Actually after thinking about this I think children do make themselves sick from stress, etc. or from lack of attention from their family.

I was explaining TMS to a friend and he asked me: "what about childness illnesses and pain, are they TMS." I didn't know how to respond as I hadn't thought about this. Any suggestions on how to respond to this?

It's sad to think thousands of people were not healed.

I did listen to the physician. What I think is important about this is a person's introduction to TMS. If I'm trying to explain TMS to someone who is in excruciating pain I don't see the value of saying: in extreme cases the condition you have-herniated disc and spinal stenosis-may cause...

The teaching of Dr. Sarno is that there is nothing wrong with your body. The symptoms are real but not due to a physical abnormality. Isn't that what you're saying when you say there is no defect in the body? There are thousands of people who have applied Dr. Sarno's teaching in there lives...

I'm curious. Do you have severe breathtaking pain at the present time? For me, the pain has been so bad that just to take a few steps was incredibly hard. However, I just kept trying to move even a little. Pushing through the pain was almost impossible. So I appreciated what Dr. Sarno has...

In a footnote on page 8 the author says: in extreme cases a herniated disc or stenosis may cause pain. Then at the top of page 9 he says herniated discs and stenosis do not cause pain. This appears to be a contradiction. Does anyone know what he's referring to when he says in extreme cases...

I was wondering-are you having very severe almost debilitating pain? The worst kind for me is the almost inability to walk when the pain in the back of my legs takes my breath away and I shutter. Right now I'm somewhat better. I think what has helped me the most so far is the determination...
