I didn't mention it but daughter and I have trip planned to Kauai in June for my birthday and closer it gets the more freaked out...

    When true physical symptoms become mental

    Hi, haven't written on here in a long time. I was doing really well and if issues came up I knew how to not attach to them and they usually went away. Then few months ago actually 11 weeks ago today I tripped over my golden retriever not paying attention and fell down hard and fractured my...

    Do I have to go to a doctor?

    This is a older thread but really helped me reading it. I have been cured of a few things mind body over the years, back, foot, numbness and more but when this shoulder pain came I thought this is TMS especially since it was in left upper arm shoulder, then went to right and settled in longer...

    Thinning skin? Circulation? When does it end

    Hi, don't know about all of your issues but my dermatologist when I asked him about my thin skin said drink more water, use good moisturizer. stay out of the sun, wear hats and long sleeves even in the summer. He said you can't fix thin skin but you can keep it from getting worse.

    New flare up last few months

    Hi, last few months I have been having sciatica, buttock pain, shoulders & neck (those gone now) and some lower back although that most gone now too. My personality is pretty sensitive so things affect me easier. I have been listening to Dan Buglios videos, journaling, doing some guided...

    Mother's Day heartache, when your mom couldn't give love.

    Wow, this has all really helped me. I was thinking about my counselor telling me I was letting my mom take my power away from me. So many many years of conditioning its hard to stand back in the middle of a situation and see it clearly to respond correctly. I wish I could have no contact like...

    Mother's Day heartache, when your mom couldn't give love.

    Thank you for sharing this. Its nice to know I am not alone. I am 63 and my mom 92 and she still is passive/agressive with me and does little negative digs to me all my life. It had been better this past year so I was really surprised when she shamed me in front of my adult kids on mothers day...

    Having major flare up

    Over the years since I first found out about TMS I have had it travel to different parts of my body and once I realized it was TMS it usually went away pretty fast. Right now I was hit last Sunday with bad sciatica pain and though not as bad is still there and worse when sitting even though I...

    First Back relapse in years not going away

    If you check out Sarno on YouTube there are some free videos and I found a radio talk he gave. Also I have been able to read some of his books both with kindle app on iPad and audio free from library.

    First Back relapse in years not going away

    Going through something similar. In the past flare ups wouldn’t be as strong. I think this one hit me because I was holding a lot of my emotional feelings inside. I have been rereading one of Sarno’s early books on back pain and he talks about holding things inside causing problems. I was...
