Actually for me it was sustaining an ACTUAL injury, like breaking my ankle..... That brought me back down to earth, haha. And unfortunately it instilled a little bit of anxiety in me that I am still trying to shake. TMS is a mindset, but we live in a real world with actual dangers all the time....

One thing I noticed from my original significant healing from TMS, and which repeatedly holds true through all the minor hiccups that have followed, is that certain feelings arise when TMS is truly accepted. These feelings include: extreme confidence invincibility awe at yourself feeling like...

My mother cured her migraines using Sarno.

Just resurrecting this old thread to say I am still enjoying a very physical, pain-free life, I stand by everything I wrote in my original post and healing story, and also just wanted to share this little bump in the road I recently got over...

UPDATE!!! I wish I could edit the title of this post so people could see there is an update but I'm not sure how. But I am thrilled to say I am FINALLY HEALED! The back stiffness and mild soreness is gone, and has been for almost 2 months now. Here's the funny story - this really happened: As...

So I posted an amazing success story on here before. Eight years ago I went from totally crippled to completely back to normal. I have never experienced that level of pain again and my back pain never came back. I have had numerous niggling little symptoms come up over the years and have been...

Running is so healing.... I wish more TMSers who are struggling would try it. I healed so much when running.

But do these things work after late-night exercise? I don't have a problem sleeping other nights.

Yeah that's weird about the noon-time game and still tossing later. Like I said, the one game where I played net half the game so hardly even exerted myself physically.... Yet my brain was wide awake in the middle of the night as if it was daytime. Definitely there is just as much mental as...

This was actually one treatment I idea I had read about somewhere and actually tried to do this the other night after my game but I couldn't bring myself to do it - if you're sweating hot in 90 degree weather, that's one thing, but after coming home late on a cold Canadian winter night an ice...

Haven't been on here in a long time.... A number of years ago I healed from crippling chronic pain. Been busy living my life. A few years ago I had a baby who slept terribly and it really messed up my sleep to the point where I developed bad insomnia, even after she was finally sleeping through...
