I saw an interview with Dr. Sarno talking about how, at a certain point in his writings, he was now calling it Tension Myoneural Syndrome. I can find almost no information on this other naming/definition of the disease where it is considered a synonym. I can only infer that he wanted to change...

I am in a hot valley most of the year and the summer is long and brutal. In the winter the average temperature is about 50 Fahrenheit and pretty much perfect for me. I plan on moving once my boyfriend graduates college but the winters here are so wonderful.

Be straightforward and honest, but also gentle if you can be. She may be upset of course depending on how much she likes you but as Ellen says, be honest and kind. It's never fun letting people down but unless you want to keep stringing her along until she gets bored I think you need to deal...

First I want to extend a thank you to everyone on the forum who replied and a special thank you and apology to Jan who I got very feisty with in my anger and despair. I'm going to keep this as short as I can. I am 31 as of now and I was 30 when the pain started last year in August. I started to...

@JanAtheCPA No problem Jan. I must admit I was offended at the time and got touchy probably because of my frustration and pain. You didn't do anything wrong and I apologize for my aggressiveness. I will look into Alan Gordon and other's options. I really do wish you well and thanks again for...

No I'm not trying to look for a physical cause at all. I'm trying to talk to a doctor who understands TMS and will give me advice on how to move forward with psychotherapy if that's required. I'm quite convinced I have TMS for several reasons I won't bore you with. I read from the book Mindbody...

The nearest doctor to me is in Santa Cruz named Bruce Eisendorf. I was curious if anyone can testify his validity. He is in the wiki list so I assume he's valid but I'd like to hear a success story from one of his patients. Santa Cruz is a long way to go so I'd prefer to not have to drive all...

Thank you for replying. Yes I'm practicing body scan meditation 20 minutes every day and I'm trying to get into the non-traditional path. Unfortunately, I'm not a faithful person. I need to see results to really commit or believe. Taking that step farther as you say is, for me, a journey I'm not...

I'm not completely hopeless but I haven't ruled out the possibility of it being mental or stress related. I'm not wearing the splints anymore (as recommended by the hand specialist). I've been trying to do light exercise to try and regain strength in my arms, not doing anything for 6 months left...

I've had Bilateral wrist pain since August. I suspect it was RSI or possibly carpal tunnel. I went for tests and no carpal tunnel was found by a hand expert Orthopedist. My pain is in the Ulnar region along my wrists and pinky side of my hand, but only in the ball region below my pinky not in...
