Andy B, I send you deep gratitude through the interwebs for taking the time to help. Using encouraging statement to soothe the inner child really resonates with me and I had an a-ha moment reading it with how I was raised to just "buck up and suck it up", rather than allowing and soothing...

Good evening, I’ve used a TMS approach with great success since 2013. I've read many books, been a part of the Wiki, done Monte Huefle's program and with persistence and an unwavering belief, I've been able to successfully overcome hip, buttock, and Achilles pain. I have four copies of Sarno’s...

Thanks, Richie. I'm still struggling as to whether this is in fact another manifestation of TMS or not. There are times when I am certain it is TMS and have been pain-free, even jogging. Then the pain will switch to my quadricep or knee, and it won't be the IT band at all. How to know if...

I walk everyday to work for around this amount of time, and I can feel my IT band but it's not making me unable to walk or in any real pain, it's just a little bothersome (probably more mentally/emotionally, but also physically). I appreciate the suggestion but I'm not sure how this relates...

This does help, thank you. I really needed the reminder that you heal when you live, you don't heal and then live. Thank you!

Hello to all-- I am really struggling with IT band pain while running, after having cured myself of my other TMS conditions (previously Sacroiliac, Hip, Buttock pain). I am certain this is TMS, as I haven't done anything differently physically. I took a week or so off of running and decided to...

Hi there! I am really struggling with IT band pain while running, after having cured myself of my other TMS conditions (previously sacroiliac, hip, buttock pain). I am certain this is TMS, as I haven't done anything differently physically. I took a week or so off of running and decided to go...

Thank you both for your replies. I tend to agree with you Joyce that my IT band issue may have some merit, but I also feel like the lower back pain is just TMS. I'm going to give myself a short period of time off of running and also transition into more cross-training as the seasons change-I'm...

Hi Joyce--just wondering how this turned out for you? I am currently experiencing IT band and lower back pain when I run. I am a major TMS person and have resolved all of my other physical issues using this approach; however, I have been running 6x a week and this certainly feels like an...

I mediate as well :)

I respect your thoughts, thank you pspa. I do agree that getting high alters motivation and thinking, but personally, I strongly disagree that it removes me from my feeling of Authentic Being. In fact, I experience connection with authentic self when I use marijuana (occasionally). I am able...

Oh, go! Don't let TMS symptoms rob you of a wonderful time! Stand up to the pain, don't let it make the decision for you. Do you want to go? If you had no pain, would you go? How would you enjoy yourself if you had zero physical pain? If you decide to go, you could visualize how you would...

Absolutely, Andy. It's not everyone's, and also, I employ a number of different strategies as well, depending on the day, depending on where I'm at--I do think have a great variety of tools in one's TMS tool-box is very helpful. The more I learn about how to heal TMS from a...
