Here is my dilema: my partner is beginning to turn into TMS and Dr Sarno, but after having horrific back pain for 4 months the doctors want to operate, this is the MIR she had: Imaging Tests: Patient: A 65-year-old patient who consults for acute, limiting, and invalidating intense lumboradicular...

Arghhhh yes I hear you, thanks. However, we TMS long time sufferers want to recuperate what we once had and not face this dilema anymore. In my case it raises its head a few times a year. I am almost 70 and like all my contemporaries, afraid of death, disease, injuries, not just for myself but...

Such a tough riddle I know. I am also stuck there… cannot muster the courage, not enough faith? Ohhh that last hurdle, feel for you, lets hear if anyone has advice

All other alternatives might work yes, but I want to underscore what worked for me. No special exercises, no specialists, just good old knowledge as penicillin like Dr Sarno said. Read the books, think about inconsistencies and your own pain story.. no need to dig deep in your mind, just believe...

Well all cases are different but the bottom line, the truth is the same, its all our creation. I had an EMG test which came back with the result of Peripheral Neuropathy. That started a subconscious process, I guess, after I googled it -bad mistake- and I started having weird zaps or shocks in...

Oh dear god, I totally get you. Due to my back pain I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy and lo and behold I began to get stabbing electric like shocks, I thought I was going to go crazy. A long story short: I was given pregabalin but never used it but decided to read Dr Sarno again and...

Excellent info, now I know how to get started. You forgot to mention one thing though: is this a supplement you take only to help overcome a difficult period and then you quit? Or do you take this as a supplement all year around? 6 months? Lifetime? Whats your take on the duration? That is my...

Ah, one more thing, whats your personal dosage use?

Thanks Fred. Yes, I should be able to slowly not think about the spinal damage anymore … Never heard about L-Argenine, definitely worth a try. How long do you take it for? Only for the duration of the crisis? Or is it a daily supplement? Anything to increase blood supply to those thirsty...

Well, to give you all an update: yesterday my MRI report came back and it shows NOTHING! Even two small hernias that I supposedly had in the 2016 MRI had shrunk or disappeared…! WTF? I never thought that was even possible. Nevertheless my mind now tells me that if it is not structural its got...

Hi, I felt like crying when I read your note. When you said “It's not ordinary back pain but rather a lighting bolt that makes you just want to avoid doing everything. When the spasm hits me I begin to sweat and feel exhausted on the spot as if I just ran a marathon”. Well, I had your same...

Thanks! I really appreciate your work. Keeping the faith up is tough, my hands are sweating when I face TMS and try to move normally. I did your exercises and tried carrying myself strong and upbeat but I am still in fear, I had butterflies in my stomach, afraid to move, but I will win this...

Hi Fred: Ive got your book on back pain but I cannot apply your techniques, or cannot seem to find how. How can I challenge the bending issue?When I do I Immediately get a spasm/shot that leaves me breathless… Cannot ignore it. If it was just pain I could test it, challenge it, slowly, bit by...

Thanks Fred, both of you, but I cannot do much right now. I am at a really low point … for some reason I get these weird spasms, quick electrical shots in my lower back which take my breath away. It happens when doing very simple things, moving around in the kitchen doing normal stuff and that...
