I'm a classic TMS sufferer! Over the years I've had - Chronic foot sweats Face and palm redness (rosacia?) and skin peeling Crazy tendonitis Plantar Fasciitis Neck pain I've beaten all of these things thanks to Sarno's techniques. Some of them went away when my life moved on and I stopped...

Update: mostly good! I'm a lot, lot better. I play music as much as I want to, I work part-time in a job I love, I'm looking out for full-time work and I'm starting my own business because I'm not waiting for someone to appear and give me the well-paid, full-time version of the job I love. I'm...

Ryan, I've been getting a lot from various success stories, they've all been helping me, but this video is another level! I teared up a little listening to it. Your honesty and insight are deeply affecting. Thanks for making this. I know I will watch it again.

Don't forget that depression and anxiety (which I thought was holding me back but I'm getting a hold on it!) are substitute symptoms for TMS. Once you start addressing the physical symptoms, the tension and energy has to go somewhere. So it can manifest as depression. It's a sign that the TMS is...

Thanks Anita, It came on during a time when I was slacking off on the running, then doing too much (10k) after maybe a week of no running, and all the while in old shoes that no longer had adequate support. So it's perfectly plausible that it was physical at least to begin with. But whatever...

I had this problem, the first two symptoms at least that you mention, years ago in college. I was wound up about exams and upset about a girl. Went and got checked out by doctors, nothing unusual was found. At the time, nobody mentioned to me that it might have been psychologically based. The...

There has been progress - things have turned a corner! My physio told me this week that there's pretty much nothing wrong structurally with my arms, I DO NOT HAVE TENDONITIS. My feet are almost healed too, there's nothing wrong with them that would be made worse in any way by a bit of walking...

Plum I completely agree that a huge part of what's goin on is the body being uptight because of stress and focusing on the pain. When we expect pain, our body tightens and pulls on tendons and then pain comes! I've been living my life as much as I can, only spending about an hour or so a day, as...

Hi! Thanks for sharing your story Anita. You have provided a great level of detail and thoughtfulness and has clearly been beneficial to many people, myself included. I think that if you wrote a book detailing your story, your learnings and your advice it would be able to help even more people...

Thanks for the responses, everyone. Yes, I certainly believe that this is a great place to get some support and advice! I sure wrote a lot up there. But writing it has been a part of me trying to understand it. Also, I'm very excited at being able to type again! For a while it felt as though I...

Hi there all, I’m a long-time lurker, first-time poster. Because reading people’s TMS stories has been so important for me in struggling with TMS, and because I need something to write about as I slowly re-introduce myself to typing, I’ve decided to share my story so far here. And it looks...
