    Day 1

    I am here to start the TMS Recovery Program for undiagnosed chronic pain. I am admittedly cautiously optimistic about the program but completely willing to give it a try. The one thing that made the most sense to me so far in the reading is Dr Sarno addressing the pain as being the “harmless...

    Day 1

    Hi, I used to post on here years ago following the structured educational program. I had pretty severe hand pain that prevented me from using a computer much, which made me extremely depressed. I eventually read the Mind-Body Syndrome book, and while that didn't help me right at the moment it...

    Good morning! Day 1

    I am beginning this journey after 5 years of constant pain. I have read all of Dr Sarno’s books and really believe I have TMS. But I admit that I occasionally have doubts that some of these symptoms are now just age catching up with me and creating the symptoms my brain created some five years...

    Day 1

    I have done the SEP program 3 years ago... Pain almost eliminated but other symptoms come and go since then. So I decided, among other things, to do the SEP again!

    Day 1 Unlearn Your Pain new symptoms

    Hi everyone, I’m new here (go easy on me) and I really just need someone to tell me I’m not losing my mind! To give a bit of background, I had an episode of vertigo in September and the doctors kept saying it was nothing to worry about and giving me a whole variety of medications, none of...

    Day 1

    Hello friends, Today is Day 1 of my 40 Day program, in the hopes that what Dr. Sarno describes as TMS - which fits me to a T, puts me on the road to living a healthy, pain-free, fear-free life. A little about me, I am 34 years young, active, healthy and 6'7''. I have been an athlete my...

    Day 1

    Hi everyone. I've been reading Dr. Sarno's book, listening to podcasts and working through the Curable app for the past few weeks but I've now found this program and am looking forward to working my way through it. I've suffered from chronic pain for the past 30 years and been diagnosed with a...

    Accountability Thread Day 1

    After four years of putting my health last for perfect grades that never existed, and feeling uncomfortable with my sensitive personality and body, I'm not going to perpetuate that mindset of fear and brokenness any more. This is it. This time it's going to stick. I'm putting my health first...

    Day 1

    Hey everyone. I’m so happy to be a part of this awesome group. I know I have tms. I read Dr. Sarno’s books and am suffering for nine years. The Doctors told me I have two slipped discs which is sitting on my sciatic nerve. The pain is mostly in my hip and runs down my left leg until my foot. I...

    Started to improve. Having first exacerbation Day 1

    I just discovered this web site. I figured out I have TMS about 6-8 weeks ago. I found out about Dr. Sarno during a psychic reading. I have read The MindBody Prescription, The Great Pain Deception, and I'm a third of the way into The Divided Mind. I improved for about 6 weeks (symptoms = neck...

    Day 1 Revisited

    I worked through 75 percent of the SEP in 2018. Now I'm back to finish what I started. It took a lot of (literal) hard knocks, but I realize that 100 percent of my symptoms are TMS, fueled by fear, fury, and grief. I have my work cut out for me - but I'm stronger than I knew, and more confident...

    Healed in an instant, and back to pain (Day 1)

    Hello everyone I am new to the forum I just signed up. My back pain started about a year ago but became really debilitating about 6 months ago. I checked all the boxes with yoga/chiro/PT etc. I found out about Dr. Sarno on reddit and bought the audiobook immediately. I finished it in a 4 hours...

    New Program Day 1

    October of 2010 was the onset of my pain. It began while I was walking; I felt a twinge in my right hip flexor that turned into a constant ache. Days later it started in my left hip flexor. I began having trouble walking. Weeks later the pain traveled into my hips, darting crisscross all through...

    Day 1

    I'm back doing this again. I completely healed myself from TMS wrist symptoms a few years ago. Then I promptly forgot about all f Sarno's teachings and went back to living life as I always had and surprise surprise got a boat load more symptoms. Finger and ankle pain stopping me from climbing...

    Day 1

    Wow!! So Happy to finally understand where the pain is coming from. It really makes sense to me. As soon as i started reading Dr. Sarno's book my pain decided to move around as if my body/brain knew what i was reading. I find it facinating and im excited to be in charge of me & not let pain...

    Day 1

    After more than a month on the TMS Wiki site, and nearly two months after reading The MindBody Prescription, I started the SEP today. Oh, I have been meaning to, and I did Day 0 a couple of weeks ago. Procrastinator? Yes, big time. It's all part of my Perfectionism. Also, I sort of...
