Bang on target @stevow7 , and thank you for the timely advice! I have mentioned Drs Sarno/Schechter etc to my TMS-suffering friends, I've shared website links and loads of youtubes all to no avail. It's difficult but it's their choice if they really want to live in pain. Frustrating though as...

Doing really well thanks @stevow7 - sometimes, after only a few weeks of my TMS journey I have no pain at all, just a little lingering stiffness through my back muscles being locked up for so long but I'm staggered by how quickly it's working. I'm a bit of an emotional wreck sometimes...

All you say here @stevow7 seems to bear out what I think - that your body image and eating are now becoming more 'normal' (whatever the hell normal is!!!) and so you're not so driven to go to the gym, but are doing it when you WANT to, rather than because you feel you MUST. Great stuff, sounds...

Hi again @stevow7 ... just reading this post, what's coming across to me (and I may be totally wrong) is that you say you had/have an eating disorder, and have been obsessed with your body image. I'm thinking that perhaps you're coming out of those conditions now enough that the gym just isn't...

I'm ready to tell anyone and everyone and soon will put a post on Facebook about it, hopefully that will spread the word. Alas we can't force anyone and it is SO frustrating but I'm going to stop trying to persuade others and lead by example! I'm a different person since I started this program -...

Sounds to me like you're on the right track now @stevow7 - this is a difficult path but without question the right path we're all on, and it seems to me it's just a matter of negotiating the rocks and puddles along the way! Very best of luck, let us know how you're getting on.

Just a thought @stevow7 but how about finding a different activity to replace going to the gym - anything else you might like, just to see if it breaks the pattern of how you feel. I'm a complete beginner but getting on pretty well with reducing my pain.

I completely identify with everything on this thread.... The cure is working for me so amazingly well, and it's so frustrating to see friends and family CHOOSING to continue to live in pain because 'they've tried everything' or 'it wouldn't work for me, my problem is real' etc etc.... I sense in...

Hi all, my own TMS journey is going unbelievably well - a few setbacks when my brain kicks back at me, but when that happens I know I'll have a major breakthrough next day - just like the books say! This isn't about me though. I have three good friends who all very clearly have TMS but only one...

Thank you for the encouragement @JanAtheCPA I finally know I'm on the right track!

Thank you @JanAtheCPA - that's helped me to relax about what props I need. When I use the walker, I'm very careful now to not actually lean on it unless I feel I need to so I don't think I will be long before I'm good enough to stop. I'm crying LOADS at all sorts of daft things - actually...

Fantastic post @drlecter and inspiriing for those of us on the bottom rungs of the ladder! Your tips are very helpful indeed, thank you.

Thanks so much @Baseball65 - I was really worrying about that but will relax and let it happen in its own time. I think things are starting to move, because today reading one of Sarno's books, I suddenly and inexplicably started to cry - let it go a bit as I knew what was happening. Walking...
