Hi - I used to suffer from debilitating neck pain that finally resolved using TMS approach. I was symptom free for three years, until a few months when I developed mid-back symptoms. Around the time I developed the new symptoms I was unhappy at work. I was working long hours, had a bad boss and...

Dear All, I used to be a regular member here last year when I was struggling with TMS in the neck, that had severely affected my life. With a bit of journaling and some private therapy, I was able to completely resolve my symptoms. Today, I am living a life that I could not imagine last year...
