Thank you! I am not sure what to think...I still get intermittent foot pain (TMS). This is so hard Treat the footdrop as TMS and see where it takes you!! I no longer fear that it will get better...it is just a matter of when! Best wishes, Denise

For me, I was 95% certain my symptoms were TMS. In seeing a TMS/MBS practitioner, I became 100% certain that MBS was the correct diagnosis. Having belief and faith in the competence of my practitioner, Dr. Howard Schubiner, allowed me to follow his 28 day program without wavering from the...

Thank you for your quick response! I did have a lumbar puncture. They ruled out disease. The only thing they could come up with is the shingles attack. So, I don't need to go to a physical rehab center? I ride a bike for 20 minutes for 5 days. I also walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes, after...

Thanks so much for your quick responses! I am now having hip pain on my right side. My gait is off due to the foot drop; however, I am wondering if this is just another TMS manifestation. I have not done PT as prescribed at the recommendation of Dr. Sarno's books. I am off all prescribed Meds...

I had an abnormal EMG. Does this discount TMS as the root cause? The working diagnosis was that the shingles virus attacked my nerves in my lower lumbar. I am convinced it is TMS. Please advise.
