Sorry, should've added to the above , I guess I got sidetracked. in addition to evidence lists, - Reading Sarno (or Ozanich for me). Re-read. Re-re-read. - Browse the success stories on this forum. - Some journaling - this isn't a quick fix for me, but I tend to spiral down when I have...

Thanks for the post in the thread, these kind of entries help future readers as you yourself are finding out. As for your case, it sure sounds like you are TMS-prone, so your radar should be on high alert. Maybe you know your recovery methods best, but here are the things that usually help me...

I see this stuff all the time - from the recent sad story of Hayden Panitierre (sp) to Tim Mcgraw (3-4 back surgeries and both knees replaced already at only 59). Mcgraw's story in particular is interesting to me because it appears most of his symptoms hit in his mid 50's, and he lost his...

As a long time athlete and a longtime TMS sufferer, there are all kinds of methods for dealing with it: - Just endure. Basically this is the ignore-the-pain and go full bore into your activity. Proponents of this include Sarno and Ozanich and the old baseball poster from here. - Follow...

Excellent! Immediately noticed Postelthwaite there, and of course Ewan Mcgregor - but then I spotted the old butler from Downton Abbey too. Thanks for another movie to add to my watch list.

Btw - Not ignoring the rest of your post, but this particular part I quoted was important to make a point about how TMS can operate. And the more points you learn, the better and more effective your evidence lists are. I can relate to much of what you have written - as well as the fact you...

Exactly - too many similar moments for me to be able to count at this point.

I'd be willing to bet that "this is probably not a good idea" was the exact thought passing through your mind when the pain actually hit. If I'm right, what does that tell you?

Bloodmoon gave you a great answer on this but you also want to consider this. As you get older you become alot more aware of all that needs to be done! When you're young and naive, you are blessedly ignorant of much of that and can more easily relax. Somewhat related - I am a similar age and...

This is why my go-to advice for dealing with TMS symptoms are: - Read, and re-read, Sarno (and Ozanich and whoever else works for you) - Go back to the Sarno Daily Reminders often - Listen to podcasts on TMS recovery - Read success stories in this forum I'd also add that I keep a diary of...

Frankly, it benefits the TMS mind to make us forget this stuff. I don't think that's coincidence.

I worry the same, because I am terrible about forgetting my Sarno principles and falling for new symptoms. I think for some people a regular "practice" is best.

This thread has been some compelling reading. I see myself reflected in a lot of this actually - I am prone to alot of behavior shown here, and as most of you are saying, it is not healthy behavior. - Getting annoyed at media (i.e. nearly all the primary electronic media) that has a clear bias...

I believe that is the purpose of almost all rituals and superstitions etc. Not that doing any of that finger crossing had any actual impact on what happened, but it eased the mind which is just as good. The old saying is "10% of life is what happens to us and 90% how we deal with it."
