Wow, so many great responses! It's so reassuring to hear from people who understand and support this process. Jan, if you haven't read "you are the placebo", I'd recommend it. Someone else on here recommended it to me and I loved it!

Tom, I don't believe there are any TMS physicians or therapists near me. However, I have seen improvement since my original post. I'm also more accepting of the fact that complete healing may take a while.

I haven't ever really thought about feeling strong mentally or emotionally. But I am definitely adding that to my self-talk affirmations. I think that will help my conscious mind take more control over my subconscious mind. Thanks for the tip!

I am doing my best to get active again. I can't stand up straight so I walk all hunched over and that wears out my back. But, I really felt like walking would help and finally realized I CAN walk with the stroller because I can lean on it for support. I can't find a lot more to journal about...

Thanks Kevin. Yes, I'm trying to ignore my Mri. This dr told me my discs looked like that of a 60 yr old and that actually made me feel BETTER since I've read so many cases of Drs saying that when clearly that's not the case. Instead of scaring me it made me less confident in his diagnoses and I...

Thank you for the responses. Whenever I am reading a TMS book my belief is the strongest. Ryan, the joe dispenza book sounds like it's exactly what I need to read next. I believe in TMS, but I need to work on increasing the strength of my belief. I think I've been waiting for improvement in my...

I can't seem to get to 100% belief that I have TMS. I finally went to a neurologist today to get a second opinion and unfortunately he said the same thing as the Othopedist. Disc herniations pressing on my nerve roots are causing the pain, and surgery is the next step. My symptoms match exactly...

Thanks for the responses. Yes I have read the great pain deception and it was very helpful to me. I also read healing back pain and the mindbody prescription, and have 3 more TMS books on the way. I think part of my struggle is that I like very clear, black and white instructions and this TMS...

I am so tired of being in pain and it's so hard to stay positive. I am exhausted, both from the constant pain and from the lack of sleep - due to the pain and my youngest child. They take turns waking me up all night, and I am aware of my anger over this. I thought I had a break through a few...

Jojo, This made me laugh because I can picture me writing a dialogue and it being a one sided conversation, just like in real life sometimes. Whenever I have pretend conversations in my head they usually leave me feeling more frustrated and angry at that person. So I guess I'm a little lost too.

Hi Kevin, I am also 38 and started experiencing increasingly severe sciatica last December. My Mri results are similar too, herniated discs pressing on both s1 nerve roots. My Mri sounds serious, but it was almost identical to an Mri I had 10 years ago, so how can the pain be so terrible all of...

I'm interested in which Dr Sarno dvd you used and where you found it. I'm working through sciatic pain myself and am encouraged by your story!

PamD, Thanks for the video suggestions. I watched/listened to only part of one last night, because it put me back to sleep! Success! It may have just been the soothing voice, but I'll take it. :)
