So I I may have an ear infection / inflammation in my left ear as its painful and has been since I got my earwax flushed on Sunday. The doctor prescribed me sofracort an antibotic steroid for 10 days. I took it twice on Tuesday and once on Wednesday. I stopped on Wednesday because I read an...

I don't blog on this site a lot anymore, but now that I am exploring the idea of TMS I finally wanted to write something. Just felt like sharing https://darkdirtyimmature.wordpress.com/2019/01/18/pain-emotions-john-sarno/ (Pain, Emotions, John Sarno)

I’ve been on this TMS journey for quite a few years now with minimal progress. I was wondering if some of you could help me answer this question that has been a big stumbling block for me. My back pain started 11 years ago after the birth of my daughter. It was a traumatic pregnancy and...

I have had a whole week free of migraines by following the TMS advice and feel this is a really life changing moment. I have read "Unlearn your pain", "Pain free for life" and followed Alan Gordon's program and feel that I am starting to learn to spot the early signs of putting too much pressure...

Greetings everyone :) After 6 months of pure hell, I’m at my wits end & trying everything possible to find a solution to my current symptoms I’ve had a chronic cough for 6 months - which I feel has gotten progressively worse since googling “cough hoarse voice” and getting the worst possible...

There are several myths about the opioid epidemic in particular about pain medication. Popular media claims that a majority of opioid addicts started with their rx pain meds. Actually, people who are rx'd pain medications are not likely to become addicted. Yes, Big Pharma saturated the market...

A post by All The Rage (the movie about Dr. Sarno) showed up in my Facebook feed yesterday, with a link to this YouTube video. "Dr. Mike" is pretty entertaining (I watched some of his other videos) but the main thing is that he's talking to people his age (20-something) and in yesterday's...

Hi, Earlier today I was writing about something that is bothering me, and I'm repressing the anger a lot. Before I wrote about I felt pretty calm, and afterwards I was full of energy, and it felt like my adrenaline skyrocketed. I used that energy to do some exercise, so I tried to channel it...

Hey, I'm reading all about TMS. Besides having different aches, I have severe OCD, anxieties and more of that 'family' and I came to wonder - Why isn't there as much information about curing OCD \ Anxieties etc. as physical pain? Is it the 'same level' to heal as physical pain (or is it on a...

Hi, I've been reading about anxious attachment a bit just now and I found an article which had a paragraph or two which reminded me a lot about Sarno's writings in The Mindbody Prescription...

This has been a problem of mine ever since i was a teen. Long story short, when i was a teenager, some bad thigns happened to me, and not long later, i had a year-long bout of severe insomnia, which led to a total mental breakdown. I thought i was dying. A doctor told me it was just anxiety...

Hi guys, just 2 quick questions around journaling for giving a voice to your feelings. I'd love to read people, who've had successful experience with this. I've started this process 2 weeks ago, and it seems to me that I'm kind of bringing the same topics over and over again. Of course, I'm...

hello all! Saw this on the BBC today: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-44910438 ('How I meditated away chronic pelvic pain') Prostatitis: 'How I meditated away chronic pelvic pain' Last December, I had my first pain-free days in 18 months. Soon they became the norm. Admittedly, there is...

I'm curious how much time people consciously/unconsciously spend thinking about their pain. At the forefront and background of my mind are always these fear/pressure thoughts: it is still hurting when will this stop? why did this new pain start? I wish I hadn't done <that> to trigger this new...

If I understand correctly pain is a danger signal from the brain. What is the purpose of anxiety? Also danger? I feel anxiety every day, for many years now. Most of the time for no particular reason. I'm just afraid something bad is going to happen. Anything really, my mind always comes up...

Hey everyone, Relatively new to everything here. Been in various modes of pain and fear of excercising for about 10-15 years now (a bit blurry, crept up on me). I see a lot of discussion here which is great. I am wondering if anyone would like to do a group video chat, so we can talk like in...

Hi. I have had MANY manifestations of TMS over the last 30+ years. Small / short-term symptoms reoccur several times every year and I can "think" them away. But about once a year I get symptoms that force me to get back into the studying of Dr. Sarno / TMS material and this eventually...

Hi all, I am a practitioner of chinese medicine and as such I am very much aware of interconnectedness of mind and body. But the theories and ideas of dr. Sarno make it more complete and more understandable for western (science-based) mind. This is directed more towards people maintaining this...

Hi everyone. When I was 18 I was very insecure due to my height. I am 5'5 and especially in high school it really bothered me. I began to use shoe lifts that gave me an extra 1-2 inches. This was uncomfortable but I wore them daily. I continued this well into college and my senior year of...
