Forest and Jan...so many of us appreciate you both and your dedication to the TMS Wiki. Thank you!

Spirals usually happen for me when I'm looking for something consistent. You're going through big personal changes. This may sound woo-woo, but I'm going to put it out there anyway. Your back hurts and you're going "back" to your hometown. I'm going to suggest that it will only feel like a...

Hi Adam and all, I don't want to hijack your post, but I thought I'd add some things that Steve O used to post on this forum. I started collecting his answers to others and it always helped me. The guy deserves multitudes of credit. All Steve O below: As long as the person fears, there...

There are so many good-hearted people on this forum. I’m grateful to have found out about Sarno and this wiki page ten years ago. It truly lifted me through dark days. I am not without symptom imperative times or new “fears,” but I can say that I progress through those times with more faith...

Hi to all, This TMS forum and reading Sarno, Steve Ozanich, and with the encouragement of hearing success stories helped me recover from many various symptoms in the past 10 years. I wanted to pass along something for the skeptical minds like me, who had a challenge jumping in with both feet...

@Lilybluerose Great advice above. I would add in to practice appreciating and loving your body again. I used to say stuff to myself like "my stupid feet." Then, I began to actually treat my body like a pal and say "thanks for carrying me, having strong hands, for walking where I need to go...

Alexandra, Since the doctors are calling it all "tendonitis," then it is most likely all TMS. Your apprehension about what it could be is keeping you walking with a foot in each world: one where you're going for PT and the other where you want to believe in TMS. As long as you are going to...

Grateful for this forum, myself, Jan. And for monitors like you have been. On days when the symptom imperative is very convincing, it's good to travel "home" to the TMSWiki page for a reminder that it's not a static process and that we need the support of others and to read success stories and...

I'll add in: The search for sympathy. Unconsciously hoping to have someone agree that what you have to go through is awful....and then feeling anger when they don't. It's your brain's tricky way to try to confirm that you have something really wrong that deserves your fear.

Deny, My ETD became TMS. After the natural healing time, my nervous system stayed on high alert and prolonged it for months. People on this forum have healed from horrendous medically diagnosed illnesses. Like what Miffy and Jan both say, please stop giving your power away. to doctors and...

Deny, The groups start a wildfire of bad news. You must keep in mind that you rarely hear success stories in those types of groups. I know that the fear and anxiety is the worst, but it sends a message to your brain that there is something really dangerous to be afraid of. Try this for the...

First of all, I want to say that I feel empathy for you. I have a good friend with dementia and watching her "leave" day by day is horrible. I'm very sorry to hear this is your husband, and the stress is ongoing. Sarno's theory is that you don't have to eliminate or avoid stress (in your...

Deny, My experience with doctors is that they will give you "some answer" if they don't have the answer. At least the Western medical system is set up for doctors to give an answer. Can I suggest that, despite what your doctor said, you probably don't have permanent damage to your Eustachian...
