We are inviting you to take part of our research to help us gain a better understanding of the subjective experience of chronic pain patients. This is a study that may assist us to discover better ways to measure pain and to develop more effective therapies for chronic pain conditions. Please...

Im 26 and am a regular weight lifter. Nothing heavy or crazy, just try to stay in shape. In 2016 I developed pain in both knees. doctor said it was runners knee. I did PT and it didn't get rid of it but eventually after 6 months it went away. Last January in 2017, I developed lower back pain as...

If you are reading this, you probably have read countless stories of people in pain. My story isn't any different. Years of mysterious pain. What started in my back, became headaches, hip/leg pain, heartburn, stomach issues, anxiety, sleep problems, MRI's, bulging discs, 'structural imbalances'...

Hello friends, I've been reading the book "Feeling Good" to help with depression, and it has been really helpful. I went online to get more information about the author (David D. Burns) and I found his podcast. Today's topic was about negative emotions and chronic/acute pain...

Hello All - We’ve learned a lot after coaching people (MODERATED: identifying information removed due to previous failure to respond to legitimate concerns about deceptive marketing techniques) and we have seen some common denominators that determine success. One of the obstacles that we point...

I thought it was interesting, I’m just reading this article about Lady Gaga and how she has fibromyalgia. I also read another article that states she has PTSD. (was raped by a producer who was 20 years older than her 19 years at the time) So, this article talks about fibromyalgia and Lady Gaga...

I just wanted to post this to further bolster the idea that the way our 'modern western society' approaches pain is nuts. Although the statistics in the US are even worse, they are pretty bad in Europe too, including the Netherlands where I live. To do this I skimmed some reports and articles...

Deliberately cultivating positive emotions is one of the absolute best tools we have in transforming our relationship to pain. Our emotional state is one of the largest forces shaping our perception of pain and positive psychology offers tools to help create neural pathways for more positive...

Alan Gordon LCSW wrote in "Day 3: Identifying the Source" The conclusion is: if something can be found on the mri or ct, it is not tms, if nothing can be found it is tms. Once medically fixed, the leftover pain is tms. What about those diseases that cause pain but are not detectable, like...

I've been through a tough couple days, I improved after read dr sarnos book however, I went for a jog and the fell back into the fear cycle. I'm wondering is my pain is increase as I'm digging more emotions up however, I still struggle to express them (may need a psychologist to help me let go...

My chronic pain started after an infection and an injury. It did not come out of the blue. Yet it stayed. The injury is too small to be detected by modern medicine, which gives me hope. I want to do the TMS treatment right. As I understand it, it is about expressing your emotions. Before...

Hello everyone! I will try to keep this as short as possible. Since early October 2016 i've had chronic pain in most of my body starting in my limbs ( mainly in my wrists and hands), then moving on to other parts of my body such as my groin (which has easily been the hardest to deal with). The...

So I am fairly certain my pain is 100% TMS, but I am still experiencing doubt and fear that there is something structurally wrong with my left leg (where I have had majority of my pain for 12 years.) It is mostly sciatica type pain and pirifornis stuff but also hip pain, knee pain/clicking...

Hello All, I thought I'd share this David Hanscom podcast on chronic pain with you all. Regards, Mike

Hi everyone I found this lying around in my mums house. It's the most recent issue of Therapy Today in the UK. Nothing groundbreaking for anyone who knows about TMS, but still interesting to see articles like this. They seem to have taken Sarno's ideas and repackaged it, and can be added to...

Hello I used to have chronic back pain and used the wonderful Dr Sarno's back pain book to eliminate my low back pain, 14 years ago. Now, I do mindfulness, gratitude, etc... and it was all great. Managed to get rid of lots of pain and symptoms for myself. However, sometimes, we are unable to...

SUBSCRIBE Health News, Good to Know Uncovering the Emotional Message of Chronic Pain By Conan Milner, Epoch Times | February 4, 2017 AT 9:04 AM (402753628/shutterstock) We usually think of it as a bad thing, but pain helps keep us from harm. In fact, without pain, our lives would...

My father had his teeth done about 18 months ago. I've gotta say, I don't know much about dental surgery, but he's had no mercury and no amalgam, he just has very white teeth now. He says he's still in pain because of it. He says he feels it when he's eating. Could this be tms? Thanks in advance.
