Hi Edmond you are having a really tough time but you are in the right place and have the right diagnosis, you will find a lot of support here. Your Mum wants to "fix you" probably because it is hard for her to accept a psychological answer. Does she have difficulty expressing her true emotions...

Hi all I haven't posted in a while but been dropping by to read, seeing how others are getting on and fully believing the TMS diagnosis. I have been recovering really well and had lots of success working with a therapist and journalling and challenging my automatic responses etc. I was 95% pain...

I was so bored and exasperated I really did just stop all "treatments" (the research on azole type creams and pills show they are pretty useless), stopped cleaning the sites and simply decided not to think about it. I stopped looking at it every hour, and constant cleansing household surfaces...

Check out TED talk by Lissa Rankin MD Is there scientific proof we can heal ourselves? Apologies for lack of link I can't make it work on this tablet

Oh wow what a great thread! Thank you.

In terms of the GERD maybe his description of damage can be seen in the way as drs/surgeons describe damage caused to discs etc that leads to surgery and spinal fusion? It be a described as damaged but people become pain free and mobile and Sarno etc tell us we must not fear it. When your mind...

Hi Avik Your posts about pain acceptance really helped me a week or so ago....I am by no means there but your articulate explanation of what outcome independence might feel like was invaluable. I'm really sorry to hear that you are having all these additional problems/possible diagnoses. There...

My therapist is TMS but just started it and after I had to see the Dr. Dr not stopping me from working I had set myself unrealistic goal to go from bedridden to fully walking in 2 weeks!!! GP just told me what I knew that I can't do full days work at the moment and to take my time. But my TMS...

Morning All, (Well it's morning in London!) Yesterday a really tough one but not so much in pain terms, that was kind of average. The turmoil was emotional. Yesterday was the day I was supposed to return to work (yet again) but was signed off by Dr til New Year. This feels like a crushing...

Hi both the full Sarno lecture is actually in general discussion forum. It's now on page 3 in a thread called "Paris, DC video threat and flare up" started by JacketSpud. It's long but really worth it. I think it should be copied to the resource library but I have no idea how to do that! Sorry!

Thanks Walt it's good to see those reminders. Did you see the video of the Sarno lecture that IrishSceptic has posted? I forget where I found it, it's not on the main 2 forums, I was browsing somewhere. Ana how are you? I have just read your story in your profile! What an absolutely devastating...

Hi I am under pressure from friends and family to do the same. I have realised now how their 'concern' about my continued time off from work has become about their need for me to be back to normal, the phone rings all day long! I have been instructed to get more scans, pressure my doctor to...

Hi Andy, Thanks for both of those messages, the 5 minute idea is a good one. I think I am going to have to stay off. I am a bit of mess and not sure I could do a whole lesson without having some sort of panic attack brought on by pain. It's scary and pain wise I'm as bad as I have been at any...
