Hi all wanted to give everyone an update and welcome suggestions or advice on how to proceed with treatment. Briefly I am a 38/m and had fibro/CFS symptoms since teens. I came across the 20 20 Sarno segment and it stuck a big chord and I've been on the TMS train all the way since then. For...

Hi Doctor: I've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Does fallen arches cause pain in the knees and upper back? Treatment for TMS states to stop all physical therapies and exercise. Dare I say, continue the exercise and massage but with a time limit of 30 minutes total. Relief of no relief...
