Hi Abundance72; Since I am not a doctor, I am not sure if a straight neck can cause real pain or not. It certainly is what the chiropractors said contributed to my headaches and sore neck and shoulder. And every time I have been to any therapist over the last several years, whether it be a...

Thanks Walt - yes that is something I haven't spent much time thinking about yet, though I did make a list of my personality traits and certainly fit the 'typical' TMS profile. I am assuming this will be addressed in the Structured Education Program in the days to come as well.

I am interested in participating in this call this evening. It will be my first time. A couple of things I am wondering about are - how do you know if you are really tapping into and acknowledging all of your unconscious emotions? Is it only when the pain is all gone that you know you have done...

Hi there - I am on Day 10 and it suggests to post how I am doing on the program so I thought I would go ahead and do that. I am one of those people who had chronic pain in several different areas of my body. I am happy to say that I have felt very little pain in my right shoulder and left hip...

Hi; I have read The Divided Mind and am getting close to finishing Healing Back Pain by Dr. Sarno. I am a bit confused about what he has to say about inflammation. On page 151-152 he says that there is no inflammation in TMS, yet he says in other places, as do other TMS doctors on this website...

Thanks Tennis Tom - I saw his name on the list but saw that he uses the ISTDP approach only, which may be just as good. I'll see how I do working through the education program first and then decide whether to see him.

Hi Ryan and all the wonderful people who responded to my first post. I am so grateful for all of the responses and words of encouragement, suggestions, support and success stories. I am also so thankful that I found this Wiki website. At first I was a bit overwhelmed with all of the information...

Hi - This is my first post. My osteopath recommended that I read The Divided Mind, by Dr. Sarno, and when I read it I was pretty much convinced that I have TMS. There is still a small bit of doubt in the back of my mind when the pain is bad and I wonder if it could be something more structural...
