Hello Clairerub and welcome to the forum. Saw some new medical terms in your post and have learned over the years that different specialists use different terms for similar ailments (or set of symptoms) Have you heard of a specialty called "pelvic floor specialists?" Another is...

Hello grapefruit, What a beautiful and well written documentation of your TMS healing. It was so very inspiring to read. Thank you so much for sharing your story,

Hello Miffy Bunny, it is so good to see you back and your testimony is awesome. I think there are many reasons for the lack of enthusiatic responses, even in light of your wonderful outcome. Some of us, having exhausted everything along the TMS lines, deep down inside, can hardly bear the...

Yes, thanks are in order for that wisdom leading to action. I know of several people helped by that wonder drug when it is given in time. Please know that many here will be thinking of you and your wife and are grateful for her recovery.

We all know how it is with specialists. Each tends to be certain that our symptoms fall within their specialty; be it neurology, orthopedic, chiropractic, surgery, etc. TMS doctors are only human and can also be biased since their practice is focused on TMS. Perhaps their TMS diagnosis is...

Whenever I do any research on the procedure, the reports of its effectiveness seem to differ greatly, depending on the source of the information. Apparently, the fried nerves take time to die off so there can be continued pain for weeks, making it difficult to measure any degree of relief...

One physicians on the forum...

Nice to see you contributing to the forum Mermaid.

You can get each of them quite inexpensively ( even including shipping) on many of the used book websites. They just might take as long as 10 days or so to arrive. Some on the forum say that the MBP is more in line with Dr. Sarno's more recent opinions

So very happy for you MiffyBunny and would love it if you could share how you achieved success. I read something ( I think it was in the Steve o book) about feeling as though there's a wrinkled sock inside your shoe. As for knees, they are not my problem, but crawling on hard cold floors to get...

hello MiffyBunny, Nice to see you back again giving encouragement to others, especially those with the RSD tag

One suggestion would be to "speak" to those tormenting thoughts even if you have to say, "Shut Up! I was a good daughter and I am making a conscious decision not to go there anymore! Guilt... you stop taking up space in my mind!" That is often very helpful with forgiving others, however...

Not sure but I think I found this in The Divided Mind under the treatment chapter- Psychosomatic pain patients often have a troubled history with other medical health professionals They may have been misunderstood due to the fact that their symptoms are often invisible. They have met with...

Hi itmsw, So many of the forum participants have experienced this from doctors. You are not alone. Forgive the cynicism here, but the more they can stretch out the time and schedule multiple appointments, the more they make. Patients are onto this but what can we do? I had one turn his back on...
