As a long-time TMS sufferer, I long ago realized the benefit of Dr. Sarno’s approach. 14 years of chronic back pain ceased mere weeks after reading his work in the early 1990s. Unfortunately, the pain sites have moved around my body with disturbing regularity, all eventually cured by reminding...

I'll keep that reading in mind. Again, thanks for the suggestions.

Jan, thanks for the suggestion. In fact, I have indeed started the Structured Education Program. Perhaps there's hope for me after all!

Thanks so much for offering that thread. I can relate to a lot of what you have shared, especially wishing that a new pain site would emerge, or that an old one would become active. That’s when I know that the latest episode is TMS- related. If only I could keep a logical perspective on all...

I am a firm believer in TMS methodology, having had 14 years of progressively worsening back pain that could not be treated with traditional approaches. After suffering from 1979 to 1993, I read Dr. Sarno's book, attended one session at Rusk, and have been basically free of back pain and...
