Wow, this was a blast from the past to see this thread. Anna - yes, my nerve pain truly was caused by my TMS. The only way I ever figured it out (and convinced myself to really believe it) was when I developed bad back pain and found out about TMS. The more I thought about it, the more I...

Thank you both! It makes it so much easier to deal with the nausea knowing that it will end shortly, and it is somewhat comforting to know that nausea means a healthier pregnancy! Whether it's TMS related, I'll never know - but that is okay since it is temporary.

Hi All - has anyone here with TMS experienced pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness? After curing myself of back pain through Dr. Sarno's books, I am seven weeks into pregnancy and have been experiencing morning sickness/nausea throughout the day. I have to wonder if this is just another...

Thanks so much everyone! I have not taken any pain medication, so I think it is just straight up TMS. Your posts give me the confidence to know that my RLS is TMS and to approach healing through the normal TMS ways. I really like the idea of observation breathing and will give that a go tonight.

Has anyone here experienced restless leg syndrome at night? I have found great success in elminating back pain with Dr. Sarno's books, but I recently developed Restless Leg Syndrome that makes sleeping difficult. I am thinking it too is from TMS, but wasn't sure.

Thanks, Walt. Your message was an important one for me: while my marriage has been very happy over the past three years - my parents' marriage has not been. Actually I'm pretty sure that my back pain was triggered by my parents' recent separation. They separated the same month that my back pain...

Wow Birdie - your situation sounds similar to mine! For the first time in years, I have hope that I can be completely pain free one day!

Thank you all for your thoughts! It sounds like foot/nerve pain is pretty common with TMS. I know that I do not have plantar fasciitis or complex regional pain syndrome (but then again, all the foot problems seem so similar - maybe since they are due to TMS!) I have a single entrapped nerve on...

Two weeks ago, I picked up Dr. Sarno's book "Healing Back Pain" after experiencing six months of debilitating back pain and have been amazed at the results. My progress has been slow and steady since reading the book and engaging in the structured education program on the wiki page. But all...

Thanks Joseph. That is great advice to not put a timeline on my recovery and just focus on the small gains. I am so happy to hear that you have had good progress, and I will continue to pray for you as well. I finally reread the post I had written and my perfectionism came screaming out. When...

Thanks Walt! "Healing back pain" was where I first learned about TMS. Very eye opening.

Thank you both so much. Just reading your responses gave me the confidence to know that my pain is from TMS and that it is completely normal to not be pain free this early into the process. Nowtimecoach - you made my day when you said that you suffered with mid back pain. Just knowing that one...
