Ah! Once again, I thank Dr Schubiner. He concurs with my latest diagnosis, which is Patulous Eustachian Tube (PET)--a rare condition with no cure, according to the medical community. Cause: Idiopathic. Even the ENT I saw, who confirmed my diagnosis, couldn't understand how neuroplasticity can...

Hi @IceBergs I was just sitting at my computer as your message came through. Good timing! I came to the same conclusion re the brain being the root of the problem. This is why I sometimes think we'd all be better off with a lobotomy ;) Ha! Just a little of my morbid humour. Having said this, I...

Oh, if only I could put on weight! I also happen to suffer from acid reflux (since 2018) and I am on a low acid diet, which is so healthy (but rather bland) that I lost heaps of weight--but the weight was lost in a slow and healthy way, and over a period of 14 months, but now I cannot seem to...

Good advice @JanAtheCPA ! Allergy testing is not very accurate and research proves this. Unfortunately, most doctors tend to use allergy testing when they have no idea what is wrong with their patient. The problem is that a doctor just doesn't have the time to work out what is wrong during a...

Good to hear from you, JV! The information I sent you is more or less a guide for someone who has already developed full-on PET. This is where I'm up to now, but for the first five years (since 2018) I had symptoms very similar to yours (and they are still with me). The only difference, I...

Hello @JV63, When I read your post I immediately thought of Patulous eustachian tube (PET) because I also have it and it's now progressed a bit more, which makes things more scary. The big difference between PET and ETD (Eustachian tube dysfunction) is that when you lie down it seems to clear...

Hello, I've been doing tons of research in regards to PET (patulous eustachian tube)--NOT to be confused with ETD, which is eustachian tube dysfunction). Unfortunately, no one seems to know what causes this horrible condition, although most ENT doctors think it could be: Weight loss Chronic...

Hi all, as someone who is many times "hanging on by a thread" I dedicate this song ❤️ And please remember that even if we're alone we still have friends in the TMS Forum :cat:

Hey there! I believe each of us finds our own method, as it were, to deal with rage. What works for you or me may not work for another person and so on--each of us tackles the process in whatever way feels right for us. Thank you for sharing how you work through the method. I have a huge...

Hello. I'm so sorry you're not well. Reading your message, this is what jumped out at me: "I am FIXATED and OBESSED and Hypervigilant" This is the right combination to bring on the pain. Both Dr Sarno and Dr Schubiner say that in order to calm the pain and make it go away we must repudiate the...

I seem to be very aware of what bothers me by way of stress, memories, etc. I'm also very aware of my anger and sometimes even rage to the point where I want to do something terrible. Unfortunately, all my "rage outlets" are illegal, like blowing up a building or something like that ;) I guess...

Oh yes! I know about the super ego, ego, and the id. I did a few years of psychology at college. These days, when I have pain or a new condition that rears its ugly head I ask myself what could be the reason I feel this way, and whatever pops into my head I take notice of it and hope I'm...

Hi there! Yes, I meant to say emotions rather than thoughts, but my fingers have a mind of their own when I type too fast I also had a good read of Dr Sarno's explanation as to why the brain is so afraid to feel the emotions. Interestingly there isn't an answer, except that out brains have not...

Every time I read Dr Sarno's "The MindBody Prescription" I pick up many snippets and insights of important information, which I later forget because I'm in the middle of doing battle with a TMS condition or conditions, and right now I'm going through the same thing with a new condition. As a...
