    How do you deal with lack of support?

    Hi Hopeful, After having my back pain cured 100% by reading Dr. Sarno's book, I would preach about TMS to anyone I encountered with various aches and pains that sounded like they could possibly be TMS (Like Dr. Sarno, I did always say they need to see a doctor first to rule out a real injury)...

    Meditation Video

    I just recently (within the past month) started meditating using guided meditations that I've found on YouTube. I absolutely love it. I do a quick 10 - 12 minute meditation before I leave for work, and a 15 - 20 minute session before bed. It's so, so relaxing.

    First Entry - Chronic Pelvic Pain and a man down on his, well...everything

    You made me laugh with this because I bet so many people are going to see that and be like, "what the heck does that mean?" LOL Thanks for your helpful words. You are so right about the urologist. The first one I went to just asked me a few questions and then put me on Cipro. I never even had...

    First Entry - Chronic Pelvic Pain and a man down on his, well...everything

    Hi Joel. I started doing the SEP a few days ago. Like you, I'm finding it very difficult to come up with childhood traumas. I had (and still have) loving parents, lived in a nice house in a great town, went to a good school and had lots of friends. In my teens and 20's, I had no problems meeting...

    Degenerative Disc Disease!!!

    Raynor91....I'm so happy that my post was able to give you some comfort and hope. Just want to point out though, that it was 8 years ago that I went to the doctor, but only about a year later that I discovered Dr. Sarno, so luckily I didn't have to wait 8 years for the cure. I did have my lower...

    Degenerative Disc Disease!!!

    I have to chime in here because my situation was the exact same as Raynor91. I went to a specialist about 8 years ago, he took x-rays of my back, and came out to discuss the results with me. He told me I have degenerative disc disease. Actually, he said I had "advanced" degenerative disc...

    BEHAVIORAL CHANGES TO REDUCE OR PREVENT PAIN

    Walt.....Your paragraph above describes me to a "T". I'd love to know what you're doing to learn to modify those traits. Thanks!!

    What to do when others might have TMS

    You're right that there are probably tons and tons of people out there who would be open to learning about TMS but just don't know about it. I had never heard of TMS until a co-worker who saw how bad my back pain was told me about Dr. Sarno and how reading his books helped his son who also had...

    What to do when others might have TMS

    Unfortunately, many people will refuse to believe in TMS. We are brought up hearing that if you have pain, there is something physically wrong with you. Most people who go to a doctor when they are in horrible pain want to hear, "blah-blah-blah is wrong with you. Take these medications and avoid...

    How to get out of this....

    James, Back in December, 2013 I was diagnosed with prostatitis. I went to a urologist who put me on 3 weeks of Cipro. 3 weeks later, it was no better and I went to a different urologist. He put me on 6 weeks of Bactrim DS. It's now the end of July, over 7 months since I first came down with the...

    Sick of trying to help people...

    I have to chime in on this because I feel the same as Cirrusnarea. After becoming 100% back pain free by simply accepting the TMS diagnosis, I readily preach about how amazing Dr. Sarno's theories and books are to anyone who seems to be a TMS candidate. My boss recently started experiencing...

    Eskimo.......Achieving 100% belief is not easy, I can tell you that much, especially since the pain is so real. We grow up experiencing real, physical causes for pain.........you fall and skin your knee, you feel pain........you bang your head, you feel pain......someone hits you, you feel pain...

    Hi Eskimo, Like you, I'm a major skeptic. If I don't see it, I don't believe it, but let me tell you.........if there's one thing that I now believe in 100%, it's Dr. Sarno's TMS theory. I spent a few years in my 30's where I'd get crippling back pain out of the blue. Pain and back spasms so bad...
