I thought I had a really good handle on my TMS symptoms, but the last couple weeks I've felt like I was back at the beginning. What first brought me to Sarno's books was debilitating lower back pain. I got through it and was cured so quickly. I've maybe had an episode twice in 10 years and it...

This post was incredibly helpful and enlightening. I have never thought of fear, or my relationship with, it in this way before. I always focused on getting rid of the fear associated with my back pain or other health worries. However, after reading this, I realize I am probably in a state of...

I have had something similar to what you describe since my early 20s, on and off. They got a lot worse the last couple of years, more chronic. I think of them as a TMS equivalent because of my personal experience with them. Yes, there is something that might be tearing or irritated and bleeding...

I know this is TMS, but it's been so long that I forgot how it used to feel, and now I'm second guessing my resolve. I cured my back pain with Dr. Sarno's book 8 years ago, but yesterday it started up again. And I'm completely skewed to one side. I'm sure many of you know what I'm talking about...

Hi Avalon. These structural things that they see on MRIs of the back are so disconnected from any pain. I had back pain on and off that started as a young teenager. Went to chiropractors, that looking back were probably just placebos. Then at 19, I got in a relatively minor car accident in a...

Thank you again everyone for your replies. As expected, when I finally got my other blood work back, my white blood cell count was back to normal. And all my symptoms disappeared. TMS is fascinating how it can affect us the way it does. I notice that any validation of my symptoms, especially by...

@Aziz, Thank you for sharing you and your wife's experiences with this. It was very helpful to know that others have overcome these symptoms as well. So far everything has come back normal from the doctor so I'm just waiting on taking my followup blood test to check the white blood cell count...

@MWsunin12 It wasn't agreed upon at that time, but it is something we mutual agreed upon a couple months later. Because it will be good for us long term. But I'm sure even though logically I think that, I'm still angry at times. @birdsetfree Thanks for mentioning Gordon's new program. I will...

Thank you for your reply. I just got my sonogram of my bladder done today. Haven't received the results yet but I have been reading through more of The Divided Mind and am trying to put this in the same place in my mind as back pain. I found a few threads here that talked about urinary...

Hello out there. This is my first time posting on this forum, but I have read many threads here and they are always of great comfort to me. I'm currently 32 years old. I discovered TMS when I was 25. My mother found "Healing Back Pain" in the library and thought it might help me. At the time I...
