I am sorry that my post pissed you off. If I had known the piece was spontaneously written and unedited I probably would have been less direct (criticism) and more diplomatic (loving) in the first paragraph. Still, it is because I think your ideas are worthwhile that I wish you would rewrite...

I once read in an AA book that criticism ought to be offered as "loving guidance" and it is in that spirit that I offer this comment. The writer could use a good editor to help him learn some of the rules of good writing, such as "avoid needless words" and "don't use a complicated word where a...

Thanks for the replies from both of you. I might try Dr. Batson even if she is in TN because stayfit65 actually has met her. Would welcome any other recommendations for doctors anyone else has used in the Southeast.

I found this post very interesting because I also have problems with handwriting. I thought it was because I use a keyboard so much that I had just gotten worse at writing because of not getting any practice doing it, but now I guess I can add this to my list of TMS-caused conditions...

I live in Atlanta. I have a number of issues (reflux, knee pain, sleep apnea, anxiety, hypothyroidism) that could be TMS but have been connected to actual physical conditions (hiatal hernia, bone-on-bone knees, airway blockage by relaxing muscles in throat, Hochimoto's throid: an autoimmune...

Thanks, Walt. I wrote the book on "goodism" and my middle name is "caregiver." But I am taking in all that I am reading from the Sarno books, this wiki site, and supporters like you to start taking care of myself first. The more I find out about TMS the more I see myself in the diagnosis...

Thanks for your encouragement. I appreciate the suggestion about keeping an Evidence List to help separate the TMS symptoms from the ones that really are organic. I plan to do a lot more exploration of the wiki, especially the success stories as well as do the SEP. As it happens, I am...

I am "P's twin." I chose that user name because of all the identities I have (someone's wife, someone's mother, etc) I've had that one the longest and it has undoubtedly been the most influential in my life. We both think we are special gifts to one another and treasure each other...
