I was fortunate enough to be one of the book cures after reading sarno's books. It truly was amazing. I assume you have already read those books. If my issues persisted beyond that, my next thought was to do journaling with the help of Nicole Sachs podcasts. I still listen to them even though I...

Thanks again. I wish you nothing but success in the long term stubborn issues. I know you will get through it and be pain free. You clearly understand tms.

Thanks, map76. Even though it felt different from your previous TMS symptoms, did you try treating it like tms? If so, do you think that helped? Based on the previous responses, that is my current plan of attack, but I am curious if it is what you did. Thanks again!

Thank you, Sharada! I have started to do exactly that!

EXCELLENT point. Thanks for pointing that out, Jan!

Thank you both for another thoughtful reply. I truly appreciate it. Cactusflower, I'd like to answer your question directly. The reason I doubt it might be TMS is because it happens only while sleeping. Since my anger and rage can bring on symptoms, I figured that would happen while I am...

Hi Gang! I healed from lower back pain 10+ years ago thanks to Sarno's books after all else failed. For the past 6 weeks, I have woken up with a VERY stiff and sore upper back (muscles, not spine). Could this be TMS? I question it because it seems like it wouldn't come on while I am sleeping...

Much appreciated. I think I just decided how to spend my Amazon gift card....

PS - For those interested:

Duggit, You are a godsend. Thank you so much for this detailed, thorough and helpful reply. The last paragraph was particularly helpful. I am familiar with Sarno's works because his books cured my BRUTAL lower back pain after everything else (short of trying surgery) failed. “What you get is...

Thank you, Cactusflower. I agree that the fact that it goes away in 1 hour is a blessing. I actually do move a lot (I did a 5-mile walk yesterday). The problem is that I am not moving while sleeping, and everything gets stiff and sore in the upper back. Good idea about Alan Gordon. I read his...
