Hi Mala. Funny how after four years I didn't initially suspect TMS, but thankfully the old brain kicked in. I'm very active so need to be much more mindful once again of the real issues. The programs offers so much that it's no effort to revisit. I wish you well also Mala. Regards.
Hello all, Four years ago I very successfully healed my hip and knee pain after an excruciating 14 months thanks to the Structured Education Program - day 39 of the 42 day program I was pain free! Out of the blue (but as we know with TMS, it's not really) I suffered the same bad pain...
I am very happy to report the knee pain has never made another return. In the meantime, each time I have any new pain anywhere that can't be explained physically, I return to my books and this forum. I am never very far from the best help I have ever received. I wish you similar success and...
Hi Walt. Nice to be back with "friends" like you :happy:. As always sound advice that the subconscious needs reminding that my emotional stressors are mostly to blame for the pain again. I enjoy the "leg up" that the SEP gives me and re-reading many posts in the forum, and I have...
Hello from Australia. My knee pain has returned after 8 months of freedom and I was so happy getting on with my life that it took me a couple of weeks to realise it was TMS related. I went straight to the Forum and began the SEP but am not as obsessive this time round. Just as well as last...
I'm stuck too on a second-time around pain event. I re-read the books, began the SEP again (day 8 today) but I seem to be a bit less enthusiastic this time around, and it even took me a couple of months to figure out that it was TMS this time too. My heart just doesn't seem to be in it even...
What an amazing, strong, deterred man you are and what a difficult journey you have related here. Thank you so much for sharing and I've just given you three very big cheers. All the best for your new life.
Hi shelley_marie. I had no improvement until after I had completed the SEP. I am pain free in that area now but have developed another painful area so am working through the "system" again. Small victories are huge for us so cleaning the teeth routine is a beginning of the beginning I'm sure...
This story touched me personally as I have a very dear friend whose unresolved anger has caused him to become very very seriously ill, yet he simply closes his mind to any offers of Dr Sarno's books or teachings even though I myself have overcome chronic pain (since 7th April this year) via the...
Thank you Walt and Hi there. Nothing untoward was found with my "lady issues" - no pain - just sensations and a possible bladder infection but willing to leave well enough alone here. Sorry about the italics. Not sure what I pressed but who cares! Living in the moment is just so novel but...
Hi Sean,
Yay!! That first "no pain" day is so good! Proof that we are doing the right things, thinking psychologically instead of physically. I love to read these SEP stories. I'm more than a month out of SEP and more than 2 weeks pain free and apply the Sarno teachings to everything in my...
Isn't it so great, making these leaps now Gigi. I have had a couple of "usual" stressors since discovering TMS forum and have managed to deal with them in such a different manner. Well done us !! :-)
Although I finished the SEP towards the end of March, I have continued to work on all I've learned during that time. My story isn't as serious or debilitating as many on this forum, I had suffered from chronic knee pain during the night which woke me and kept me awake for almost 16 months. We...
