I had blurry vision after my Mother passed. I went to the eye Doctor who said it was a Ocular Migraine from stress. It comes on whenever i put stress on myself which is all the time.

Hi Sebastin, I had acid reflux for many years and used many different treatments from taking pills and drinking vinegar. When I started the TMSwiki program I came to believe it was just another one of my many physical symptoms related to repressed rage, fear of rejection, fear of not being good...

You go girl. You can do it.

I had all that stuff. It is all TMS. Have you read any of Sarno's books? Have you started the Structured Education Program? One of the personality traits is fear. Yes, it can be paralyzing. The program gives you all kinds of tools to manage yourself and your fear. The mind is so powerful...

I finished the Structured Education Program approximately 6 years ago. I learned so much about my personality traits and tools on how to manage. I became familiar with Codependency 6 months ago. I had a major conflict with my Mother. With urging from other friends they suggested I talk to a...

Good for you for starting the SEP. You will succeed. I have recently started attending Co-dependents Anonymous meetings in my city. Of course, I have all the personality traits. The handout has been very helpful. I have also been talking with a psychologist from the Pain Psychology center...

Awesome Jamie When that doubt starts to creep in say "nope, I know what this is. I am working this program. I have the tools to defeat you. " I have been out of the program 5 years. I still work all the time on my minds influence over my body. I have been playing pickleball for 2 years. 3 days...

In the last year or so I have started speaking up when I see an injustice. In the beginning there were times I felt it was not worth it because of all the physical stresses I would put on myself from the fear of rejection and the fear of conflict. I would have to do everything I have learned on...

I am 5 years out of the program. I try to journal everyday when my phones alarm reminds me. For me feeling angry is a normal part of everyday life. People, friends, family annoy me daily for various reasons. My Mother won't take a stand on an issue. My bridge partner reprimanded me for a screw...

I so desperately wanted my Mother to love me. I watched everything she did. I watched and heard every sigh and breath and every gesture. Couldn't I just be "good enough " "nice enough" and just maybe she would love me. I kept trying. ..years of trying. Years of wanting to be good enough and...

Hi Steve, Like you i knew something was going on when I had a noticeable slight relief in pain. Keep posting. I love your humor even after all those mid-evil torture devices.

I see the mixed diagnosis as very good news. Doctors "want" to give you an answer. You are desperate to " find" an answer. I find many times they just don't know. 90% of my back is fused. The Doctor diagnoses was very bleak. Plus I have foot and heel problems too. Like Gigi I walk 3 miles...

Wow...what a positive experience of the pain coming and going and moving around. That is tremendous evidence. Think about what you did to that knee while snow skiing. You were bending, twisting, turning, weight shifting and it did not bother you. Wow... One suggestion would be to stop reading...

You are making great progress. Keep working the program. The Mind knows "the foot is absolutely the most important thing to you" and Wiil continue to create doubt regarding that area. But you can do it. Keep educating yourself Ann working the program.

Depression has followed me all my adult life. I kept thinking. .I am a smart person why can't I figure this out. I then would beat myself up. I remembered reading years ago that depression is anger turned inward. I just didn't know how to get it out. I have had anxiety too. You have come to...
