    Why is back pain so common as form of TMS?

    I do recall reading in one of Sarno's books, about TMS symptoms mirroring what was en vogue at the time. Ulcers, carpal tunnel, Back pain, pelvic pain, IBS, etc. But I'm wondering why some people's (myself very much included) TMS symptoms are things that they've never even felt before, heard of...

    Book Teach Us to Sit Still by Tim Parks

    Hello, all. I thought I'd take a moment to recommend this book to anyone who may be suffering from, or suspect they are suffering from TMS. This book may not subscribe to the TMS philosophy as a whole. But the steps that the author takes along the way, and where he ends up are very much like...

    More symptoms. Symptom Imperative? I need help.

    I thought I had a breakthrough in my supposed TMS symptoms last summer. I was remaining optimistic. And while some of my symptoms have eased considerably, Others have popped up. I'm hoping that someone with similar issues might chime in and ease my anxiety. It seems one day I'll get this spark...

    I think I've had a breakthrough.

    Thanks for all the info everyone. Unfortunately, I've had a bit of a relapse. It began yesterday. And it persists today. Although I've noticed that it comes and goes throughout the day. And it's nowhere near as bad as it's been in the past. Weird stuff. It's disappointing. But I have to try to...

    I think I've had a breakthrough.

    At least that's what I'd like to believe. After many months of dealing with the pain, numbness, and fear of peripheral neuropathy symptoms, I am officially free of those demons going on five days now. That's the longest I've been without symptoms since this past December. I can't tell you how...

    New to TMS. But I feel relieved that I've found this place.

    Oh, thanks so much for that link and the pertinent info. I'll definitely look into Mr. Gordon and his folks. I'm in the midst of another relapse after surviving the last one. This one began to set in yesterday. And today I began experiencing the cold sensation in the feet and lower legs, as...

    New to TMS. But I feel relieved that I've found this place.

    I wish I could find a TMS specialist in my area. But from my searches, there aren't even any in my state, or the state closest to me. I think I could really benefit from the psychotherapy side of things, as mentioned in Sarno's books. As I've got a slew of gripes from childhood and early...

    New to TMS. But I feel relieved that I've found this place.

    Sorry for the late reply. I've not seen a neurologist. But I did visit a GP in January, who was able to determine that my circulation was fine, based on pulse in the feet and the instantaneous return of blood to the toes after pressing on them. He also tested nerve response in a rather low tech...

    New to TMS. But I feel relieved that I've found this place.

    Wow! This is such a great load of information! I just discovered the mindbody/TMS thing last night, as I was researching my pain and discomfort that has been plaguing me and ramping up since last December. I really am thankful for sites like this one that spread valuable information instead of...
