    Hypochondria, doubt, many symptoms

    Hi there. This is my first time posting here, but I've lurked on the site and have been familiar with Sarno for years. I'm struggling with many, many symptoms, and they all feed into my intense hypochondria/illness anxiety, which isn't something I've seen mentioned here. The last 40 days have...

    How can I stop googling my symptoms?

    Hello! I'm here because I have a lot of symptoms. I don't wanna bother you with a list, but I have symptoms that doctors can see, and other that they cannot see, but I do see.

    Overcoming Hypochondria

    I just posted over in the support forum as well, but I thought I'd also bring up a discussion on hypochondria as it seems like most of us are. I've been battling TMS symptoms for years and have recognized it for the past 2 years for back pain. I've worked with a therapist and done lots of work...

    Alan G. Getting to the heart of TMS

    I would like to ask a question that I have only seen touched on on this forum in a roundabout way. I am currently re-reading the excellent book, "Phantom Illness." My question is - How does TMS relate to the more generalized hypochondria? In this book, general hypochondria is broken down into...

    Derek Sapico On the futility of obsessing

    At last Sunday's weekly drop-in chat, someone mentioned struggling with hypochondria. I think that hypochondria and TMS often go hand in hand because TMS is all about obsession with the body and physical concerns instead of one's unconscious emotions and that is exactly what hypochondria causes...

    Hypochondria? Trying to stay calm...

    So as I've been reading success stories and case studies within the books I've become more familiar with the idea of RSI/Carpal Tunnel.
