I worked for many years at a job and during my time there I developed bad back pain. To keep a long story short, I was diagnosed with TMS and saw a therapist. The pain got a little better but never really went away. I wound up changing careers for what I thought was my dream job. This job was...

I am a former patient of Dr. Sarno. At the time I attended his lectures in the late 1990's, he suggested as one part of my recovery that I read certain pages of "Healing Back Pain" for 30 days. I had been experiencing debilitating back spasms and after doing as he suggested, in these years...

I feel I'm through the worst of TMS causing my fibromyalgia and I know my triggers of stress. I am now left with the symptoms of Reynauds and back pain. It feels now that Reynauds was fogging up the problem of what the area to concentrate on was. After saying to my Dr in a non-medical term it...
