    I've been told I need Total Hip Replacement. How can I be sure it's not TMS?

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for this site. I haven't been here for a long time. I needed to read this whole thread tonight. I am going through the exact same thing as the 'author' and I have done everything in my power to work on this hip pain using all the TMS methods. But it is getting...

    Tips on creating new neuropathways?

    Dexy, I have been following Dr. Joe Dispenza for a long time now. His books are awesome. This one is fantastic but it takes, practice, practice, practice to rewire the brain. I totally understand your frustration. Have a look and see if it might help you on your journey. It's called, ''Breaking...

    Question about 'Ignoring' Pain

    Thanks for all the wonderful posts. This is a great topic. When I read Dr. Sarno's book many years ago, I did not get the message to totally ignore the pain. What I read into that was to go about your duties and hobbies as usual.... to get the rest you need and to take good care of yourself...

    facing a fear

    Hon, I'd be dropping those people so fast and run in the opposite direction .......... Make up your mind to not allow people to do this to you anymore. Tell them to go find the 'perfect' babysitter....you're not it and you never will be to crazy perfectionists like this. You'll never be good...

When I said that I was waiting for the pain to move, I meant I was waiting for it to move out of the sciatica and for it to show up elsewhere. I was actually excited when the pain moved because I KNEW it was TMS. I have...
