Happy to report life is back to normal and I am 100% healed. The road to success was not an easy, but I want to encourage all my fellow TMSers to NOT GIVE UP. What I have learned from this journey has made me happier, wiser and more at peace with the challenges that come in life. In February...

Hi All I haven't posted in a while and I thought I better share a bit about my last 5 months since my last acute tms hit. What happened is I acknowledged my back pain as tms. Then I stopped thinking about tms, hit the gym 2-3 times a week, journalled a couple of times a week, started to learn...

A nice September day in 2010: A 35 year old squash playing fit me bounding around life happily...casually discussed some painless and bloodless hemorrhoid development with a very senior surgeon (who happened to be a friend of the family)...ended up getting convinced to undergo a "minor"...

(Finally feeling good enough for long enough to feel confident posting my success story!) Brief Summary: A back injury from weightlifting escalated into debilitating sciatica over a period of several months. At the peak of symptom intensity, I could not sit or stand comfortably for more than a...

Around November 2014 my right hip area started hurting a fair amount. I don’t know what caused it, though I did remember feeling a slight muscle tweak as I was bounding up the stairs. After a while, I was limping about painfully. I remember doing a food run for our Christmas get-together, having...

I'm excited to share this with you - my first 10k run ever and after 20 years of crippling foot pain feels like a miracle. Thank you Dr Sarno and Steve Ozanich for getting me there!

After a 6 month battle with “tendinosis” I am now 95% with all activities no pain, and winning the battle. I couldn’t be happier. It took a while to accept TMS, but am so happy that I had to make a choice—to put faith and courage in myself and intuition, and let go of what the doctors have...

It all started in 2008 when I thought that I’d “injured” my lower back while deadlifting. After that I always had a lingering pain in my lower back and even a bit of numbness down the buttock. Squatting or heavy lifting with my back instantly exacerbated symptoms. I decided I’d permanently...

Sorry for external links. Keep the positivity going. I think many of you would have come through this inspirational story. This is for others who haven't read this. Story #1 - How I Overcame Back Pain Through Self-Reflection Following years of mis-diagnosis I finally found the correct...

Hello everyone, I suffered from chronic pelvic pain since 2002. I fell on a wet marble floor and had pain since. Following is a short summary of my journey: -Wise-Anderson protocol -100 sessions of pelvic floor physical therapy, Botox injections, 6 nerve blocks -MRN Neurography "confirming"...

I’m putting a short version for those who just want the basics of my story, and then the full version for those that want to read the details that led to my recovery. The success stories on the TMS Wiki were instrumental in my healing. I would read a different one each day and they helped me...

Hello All, I'm so pleased to share my healing story with you. I was so excited about my recovery that I wrote a book about it. After two decades of debilitating chronic low-back pain, which ranged from being simply an annoying pain to incidents of paralyzing back spasms, which left me completely...

It is my two year anniversary of learning about TMS and I realize I still haven't written out my success story. This is not because I'm without success, but due to my perfectionism I thought I needed to wait till I was free of all vestiges of TMS and TMS equivalents before declaring myself a...

I am often asked what “my story” is. Everyone who has suffered from Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) or a Psychophysiologic Disorder (PPD) has a long, tortuous story to tell - that is, if they are lucking enough to have found a TMS-trained physician or therapist who has helped them step off the...

Hi folks, I found another success story posted on YouTube. I think it's interesting that it was Dr. Sarno's first book that helped her. His early books seem to speak to people really well. I think that it is great that she is helping to spread the word.

I was encouraged by my practitioner, Daniel Lyman, to finally post a success story here 'cos he felt that I was at a stage of my recovery that I could be called a 'success'. I think that in itself speaks volumes as to how far I've come along my TMS journey. My pain has not gone away 100% but I...

Hi everyone! I just finished up with a two week residency program of my meditation school. I graduated and can feel the pleasure of accomplishment. Last year when I went to the residency, I was in pain for most of it - didn't go to the parties at night because of the pain, didn't sit with my...

Since discovering the work of Dr. John Sarno 8 months ago, my life has undergone a transformation that I had never dreamed was possible. My journey of chronic pain began when I was 15 years old. I developed chronic, crippling pain in my left foot that was diagnosed as plantar fasciitis. After...

Hi Everyone, I'm currently working on an extended version of my recovery story but in the meantime I'd like to share my review for Healing Back Pain on Amazon.com. "26 years old and have suffered from chronic back/neck/shoulder/pelvic pain for 3.5 years. Probably saw 20ish doctors, physical...
