Yeah I think this is a good caution, and fully agree with it. I think it's worth looking for as close of a match as you can get, because if you find a close match, it'll likely help. But, it's a fine line because if you won't be convinced until you find one, you may never find one, and thus...

Good question! The one I wasn't very convinced on was my back pain from sitting, which I had previously attributed to scoliosis. I wasn't very convinced because I definitely have scoliosis (you can see it on x-rays), and it is significant enough I had to wear a back brace for like 3 years in...

Hey Ben! A lot to respond to here, but I'll do my best: 1) No, I did not have clicking or grinding in my hand during my pain. However, I did have clicking in my knee pain from running that I later attributed to TMS and fully recovered from, unsure if I mentioned it in this thread or not. 2) I do...

Just following up here, the pain ended up totally going away in late april, about a month after this discussion. So it ended up lasting about 2.5 months in total (1 month not realizing it was TMS, and 1.5 months realizing it was and actively trying to get over it). I basically followed the...

That makes sense, I appreciate the advice and your take! I'll try my best to do my regular activity without focusing on the pain and see how it goes. Definitely agreed with that last part about Sarno.

Thanks for the advice! Responding point by point here: 1) On frustration of not being able to do the excercise I'd like to causing symptoms, I think that's totally possible. Also possible it was fear of the heart condition itself--it's potentially deadly so definitely scared/is scaring me. It's...

Hello, I previously had severe RSI symptoms that I eventually concluded were TMS. After discovering TMS, the symptoms resolved within about 1 week–1 month and have not meaningfully returned. My original post and recovery story are here...

Here's a list of resources I put together when I was researching it to help educate others on it, and help them figure out whether or not they have it: 60 minutes general explanation: http://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/The_20/20_segment_on_John_Sarno_and_TMS (The 20/20 segment on John Sarno and TMS)...

My 2 cents, you definitely have TMS. I doubt that it's physically caused. Reasoning: 1) You say that you felt the pain move from one hand to another in the night, when you presumably weren't using either hand, when you were worried about it. Now, ask yourself, if it was a physical problem...

That sucks man. The most hopeful things I found in deciding whether or not I had it were the following: 1) reading success stories that sounded similar to my own. In particular, the creator of the TMS wiki had a youtube video in which he laid out symptoms and a story that sounded remarkably...

Yeah, I'm convinced that a lot of people I know have it in various forms now, but haven't been able to convince anyone unfortunately. Glad it worked for me though. It's been long enough that I have almost forgotten what it's like to have non-functioning hands. I actually kind of miss the...

Almost 3 years later, my hands are completely cured, no issues there! I am able to work as an engineer, use the computer all day, no problem. I also got over back pain that I previously thought was not psychosomatic, associated with scoliosis, and knee pain from running. It's amazing. Are you...

For me, the pain was never super intense, so I guess it's easier to ignore. That's gotta be tough. Just remember that it's not indicative of physical damage.

Glad to hear. I've actually been stressed lately and had a few flare-ups at work. Once you've concluded that you definitely have it, it's not about preventing the pain, it's just about not worrying about it and not letting it affect your activity. It tends to then go away for me sometime between...
