Hi! I just want to share something. While vomiting is definitely serious and physical illnesses do need to be ruled out first, a great researcher Dr. David Levinthal does look at this in his work and has proposed a psychologically-rooted cause to this...

I have had your exact symptoms @readytoheal two years ago! I even had nystagmus for a bit. I was told to have an MRI of my brain and some white matter hypersensitivities came up and I was scared to death that I would develop MS and the MRI notes said that that was a very slight possibility. The...

Hi all! I joined the TMS wiki almost 2 years ago when I first learned about Dr. Sarno's work since I had had chronic pain for a couple of years along with other TMS symptoms (anxiety, acid reflux, etc). In my 2-year journey since learning about and 100% accepting the diagnosis and trying many...

I agree with this! Before discovering the TMS theories, I'd almost never let myself cry over things or feel anger. Now, on occasions when I do stay aware of my anger, frustration, loneliness, and/or sadness I'll let myself cry and it definitely feels as if I released something that needed to be...

Hi Andy, Thank you! It's good that you mention what ways I pressure or blame myself. That has definitely happened. And, I definitely believe that reinforces the symptoms. I have taken on an approach of just seeing the symptoms as false signals of the brain/mind. This has helped. Sometimes the...

Hi Jan, yes it is. I have been doing emotional work and I have seen improvements. Just my symptoms have been like a roller coaster (moments of very little pain and anxiety and moments of a lot). So, I have made progress, I just haven't eliminated my symptoms like others on here yet and it's been...

Hi all, I am grateful for this community as it is a great place to connect over our shared experiences. I'd just like to complain about my experience since I feel that I usually don't allow myself to. I'm frustrated that I haven't made progress in eliminating my glute/leg pain and anxiety in a...

On this website. There's a link under the Resources header to find TMS doctors/therapists it's called "Directory of TMS Practicioners". I think many of them do tele-visits.

I have had almost the same experience as you except I'm 23. My back pain "sciatica" started at 18 and came on and off until it became more long-term. And, the sexual dysfunction has also been my recent experience. Fortunately, I started seeing a TMS doctor a few months ago and he says -- in my...

Thanks for the insight!

Thank you! Yeah, I think it definitely is a lifelong thing.

What have you learned about yourself by going through this program? I've learned how me not expressing my emotions throughout my life has triggered physical symptoms. I've learned that I'm a perfectionist in many parts of my life that I never thought I was such as in my work, learning...
