Read any/all of Dr Sarno's books. Go to Dr Howard Schubiner's website www.Unlearnyourpain.com. Get his...

    Some reinforcement please

    Thank you! That is very helpful Cap’t! Sometimes I need to remember I’m on the right path and not alone!

    Some reinforcement please

    Thanks for the reply. An MRI showed an average disc herniation. Fortunately the spine surgeon was very hesitant to recommended surgery and even admitted to reading “a bit of Sarno everyday”. I bumped into him recently and he now hands out Healing Back Pain regularly to patients! I have started...

    Some reinforcement please

    Hi all. You can find my full, original TMS story under my profile. To summarize many years ago, I had debilitating back pain. At my low point I told my wife if this was going to continue forever, I’d rather be dead. I wasn’t kidding. after a long journey I experienced a sudden, miraculous...

    FREEDOM! How I recovered from years of chronic pain and anxiety

    This is a great find. As someone who discovered TMS many years ago and cured truly debilitating back pain, I now find myself someone with very difficult hip pain. I have pretty much everything I need to know it’s mind-body syndrome, from the personality, to family issues and changes, a very good...

    TMS successes and new challenge - Tinnitus

    I have the same. Mild hearing loss, not unusual for people in their mid 50s, and minor tinnitus. The aha for me was after my recovery from major TMS back pain I would suddenly experience very loud ringing in my ear and I remembered reading about TMS and tinnitus. I have for the past several...

    Severe Hip issue (with MRI done)

    I stand with you sdidy. I havent been to this site in 9 years and I’m back due to “chronic hip flexor tendonitis”. I never thought it could be TMS for reasons I wont get into here, but like you I have dealt with TMS for decades, including some I didn’t know about TMS and just suffered with one...

    Official Thread Section 2.3 Working Toward Outcome Independence

    Dervish, I am so happy for you! You seem to have on boarded defiance toward your TMS. It will serve you well. Once it gets the message that you don't believe it it becomes like our new dog: it might test once and awhile but a quick correction reminds it who is master. The Raynauds is so...

    Happy for a mini cycle on my anniversary

    Not my wedding anniversary, my TMS anniversary! But its still a success story. It's been about a year since I hit my TMS rock bottom. It's been a pretty stressful past month at home and then we got a dog. Sort of like a child, it doesnt matter what you read or people tell you, you dont...

    Official Thread Section 3.9 Provide Comfort

    This past weekend I had my first real test since becoming virtually pain free. I had been working out and felt a tweak in my back. I woke up stiff the next day on both side of my back not just the side I had 99% of my TMS symptoms so I figured I might have really strained it. I remember Dr...

    Official Thread Section 3.8 Stand Up to the Inner Bully

    yb44, I completely agree with and love the day TV example. Doing things that direct violates the bully's commands really helps me challenge and prove the bully wrong thereby gaining fuller freedom to assess how I want to be rather than should be. My disobedience has been to take at least one...
