I’m in the UK and just heard a great interview on BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour programme with Judith Hoare who has written a biography of Claire Weekes. For those not familiar with Dr Weekes’ work, she wrote a series of books including Self Help For Your Nerves. She outlined a simple and...

So a year ago I dealt with some pretty crazy mind body symptoms. I had weird itchy feet....sharp pains in my arms and scalp. Went for an mri to rule out MS. Of course they found narrowing of the cervical spine and degeneration (I’m 42 duh there will be degeneration). They also discovered a...

Ok, so one part of Alan's program talks about self soothing and teaching your body that it's safe in spite of what you're feeling and another part talks about leaning into your feelings. So here's my question. When do you do which? I deal with a lot of fear. Like this morning I woke up with my...

My TMS recovery story is long and complicated, but I wanted to share it because I've recovered from more forms of TMS than most people ever experience! It started in my mid-twenties with TMJ pain as well as back and neck pain, and going to the chiropractor and doing PT helped sometimes. Then...

I have had some success making my symptoms go away with Sarno's approach and Alan's TMS program. Unfortunately, I feel like I keep getting to this place where I am caught between fear/anxiety (my repressed emotion) or pain. I will either feel incredibly anxious/panicked/not like my self at all...

I just read the above line in "The Great Pain Deception" and didn't really understand it, so I looked it up. Here is an article I found which explains it somewhat: https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/anxiety-zen/201607/the-surprising-emotion-behind-anxiety I still don't fully understand...

Dear All, I am 26 years old from germany, (I hope my english is not too bad ).. To keep it short, I have a quite long anxiety Story (TMS?). It all started so to say ‘basic’ in summer 2014 , i came home from a stressful period of university (exams etc) for the holidays – we just sat together...

Hi. I used to be on this forum about a year ago because of a lot of pain (in EVERY part of my body) and neuralgic symptoms (paresthesia, muscle cramps, etc) among others. A year and a half later I managed to overcome all my symptoms, Just a few weeks ago I was so good as ever before. BUT, then...

Curious to hear about others experience in this regard... Over the past 9 years, I've had a number of baseline "main" symptoms with my stress disorder. (Morning panic, rolling panic, GI issues, headaches.) The latest over the past year has been dizziness/off balance issues which have become my...

So real quick I'm very anxious stressed and worried about my ears after what my coworker did. I was on the phone talking to my girlfriend when he drove right up to me and held the horn on a car and I think my tinnitus might have spiked as a result and now I worried it might be worse then it...

Its so weird how some concepts are simple, but inspired. I was about to ask the forum how I can derive more patience with myself regarding all things: pain, but also my inconsistencies and frustrations with myself and those around me. I had the inspired thought: put some love into it. (I was...

I wrote this poem in Dec 2017 as my recovery started quickly progressing (I’ve never written any poetry before this) and have only showed 3 people in that time :/ I feels nice to have summed up that period of my life, and to give me some closure :) :) Injury, followed by loss, confusion my ego...

I've been actively involved in the TMS Community for about a year and a half but had no yet posted my recovery story. A lot of twists and turns along with some moments of doubt along the way. In a nutshell, I have had TMS symptoms going back to probably when I was 8 or so - the first one I can...
