I experienced all the symptoms you outlined and they are all very unnerving. I get it. I depend on my voice for my livelihood. To overcome this I went the usual route of speech therapists, doctors, ENTs, gastroenterologists etc. You name it, I had an appointment. I even had an endoscopy to...

I'm much better Mads. It was TMS. My throat and voice are vulnerable parts for me when I get overly stressed or anxious. It was a terrible time but knowing it was TMS was half the battle to be honest. Hang in there. Go back and ask yourself 'Was I going through a turbulent time when this all...

Free forever? Nice thought and I'm trying to get there. I'd imagine life on the other side of chronic pain is amazing. Not just to be free of the pain but having gained all the insight from the pain and the lessons on life after. Let's say one knows what the "elephants" are/is, then what? In my...

Hi @miffybunny I really enjoy reading your replies. Can you tell me the therapist you worked with to resolve your symptoms? I have my symptoms (burning mouth and troubling swallowing) 2 years and think it's time I sought some expert advice

This is fabulous. Thank you @mbo for uploading. There is something about Sarno's voice. It has a healing property. Like he genuinely cares. His conviction, authority and presence (for a petite man!) Are something to behold. I can see why people literally walked out of his office cured. Is...

Rule out the physical Karim. A sore throat doesn't have to be the end of the world. I have had it for nearly 2 years now but I believe this is due to 'learned pain' and plain muscle Tension. I've had a gastroscopy and 2 laryngoscopys which all came back clear. The ENT still diagnosed LPR! I...

Where did you get Sarno's lectures @Gojab ? I would be interested in viewing. Thanks

Hi James, I recovered from ten months of urinary frequency and pelvic pain. I used the method outlined in *a headache in the pelvis*. U probably know about it already but thought I'd mention it. The authors discuss the role of stress as the main cause.

Thanks for the words of support. I'm delighted you have over come your TMS, well done! My symptoms are much worse during anxious periods. Strangely they are at they're most severe in the middle of the night and wake me up. The opposite is also true. Symptoms are not so severe when I'm relaxed...

Thanks for the encouragement @ssxl4000. I think I need to rule out any structural problems first. My gut says it's muscle tension and learned pain. There is a lady who posts on YouTube about TMS and muscle tension dysphonia , Liz bills. She recovered using a mixture of TMS therapy and speech...

Hi @Idearealist, thanks for the reply! I agree LPR is over diagnosed. I've read for reflux today read stomach ulcers of the 70's. Steve Ozanich Writes about Globus as a TMS manifestation on pgs63 and 346 GPD. Structural damage is described in Wikipedia with surgery recommended. Horrific...

Hi everyone. Thanks for accepting me to this forum! Im still straddling the TMS/structural fence. Symptoms include chronic sore throat & mouth (particularly one side), trouble swallowing, Globus and vocal fatigue for 18 months. It began during a busy period with the birth of our 3rd child...

Good luck on your healing journey!

Hi @zeeman01 Thanks for posting your success story. I was diagnosed with LPR also and refer to your recovery to give myself hope. Did you have trouble swallowing at any stage? My throat crunches or clicks from time to time. Think it might just be muscle tension.
