Hi balancedanswers, I didn't have pain when masturbating, in fact for me it relieved the pain. The pain wasn't there when I was sleeping or having sex or doing exercise. But everyone's pattern is different I think. The uniting factor is that the pain is not always there and certain things seem...

Hi balancedanswers, Yes I am. Sarno's stuff really works. The first thing I had to do was 100% accept that the pain was psychological. This took me a couple of weeks as I eased back into exercise and noticed that I had no pain when exercising, only after stopping. I knew then that I couldn't be...

In my experience pain that I could link to sport (TMS offers me to make a link that I can refuse to do thereby preventing recurrence) is never a physical injury. Physical injury has a precipitating event in my experience and even then TMS can blow it out of proportion for me. I do however prefer...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has some success stories with overcoming insomnia and/or obsessive thinking. I am getting reduced sleep (worst week averages about 4 or 5 hours a night so I'm learning not to worry about it overall as it is possible to function albeit with a little difficulty...

My view is this Ellie: Science can already identify some structural abnormalities that cause no pain in some people and then doctors say these abnormalities must cause pain in other people. For example prolapsed discs or some cysts. So science is doing a good job already with identifying. What...

Hi, Thanks so much for the quick responses. I just went for a run, a bounce on the trampoline, press-ups, bunny-hops, yoga postures - all small amounts. Some pain but most of it minor. More flexibility and less pain now than when I started. I am convinced it is TMS and will be gone by Wednesday...

Hi all, After a bout of TMS last winter 100% cured via this forum and education program, I have had a recurrence. My dad came to visit (long-standing troubled relationship but a lot has been reconciled recently and this time I was calmer than ever when meeting him). I picked up my two kids (6...

I understand Jared - it is hard to get perspective when haunted by pain. Fibromyalgia is curable - it is just that most MDs do not know about TMS so they cannot cure it. That does not mean it is in incurable. EFT is a technique which can help bring emotions to awareness and thereby the pain...

Hi Jared, the pain is real - it is in the body - the question is how it is being caused. I recommend reading John Sarno's books as a starting point and the SEP program on this site, or a Faster EFT therapist to try to alleviate the pain.

Jared, sounds like TMS. If the doctors can't find anything physically wrong then it almost definitely psychologically caused. The doctors I went to see about my pain didn't know about TMS and I guess that even if they did would not be allowed in my country to diagnose it as such due to medical...

Insomnia might act to break down the coping boundaries around emotions that keep them held in and repressed. the ability to logically distract myself is massively decreased at night/when tired/when less distractions of people and daytime events. I believe this to be healing but god does it hurt.

Thanks. Tonight I've had a huge amount of rage and sadness come up about my wife's lack of intimacy towards me and how alone I've felt for the last 15 years plus anger at how much she and my two young kids (and myself) demand of me. Being provider and dad to my three loved ones is something I...

Thanks Walt - it comes back to making time for myself in the day - not going straight into service of my kids, my wife and my business. A good reminder! For while I did journaling and it helped but then one night I was still awake so I kind of gave up but I know it helps so thanks for the reminder.
