Hello everyone! I have recently discovered what TMS is and the mind-body connection. I still have a lot of research to do and find what works for me but I wanted to share my story to see if someone can confirm that what I am experiencing is TMS! I have now been struggling with digestive issues...

Hi, For me, this has been a long time coming, and I'll try to keep this brief, as I'm sure we're all aware, it's easy to write a book on our lived experiences. I have summarised my experience at the bottom for those who don't want the long read, and also posted some questions I have. About me...

Hi all, It's been a while since I've been here. Just a quick overview: I'm 30 from England. I had a bit of a troubled upbringing as my mother was an alcoholic and I got a lot of abuse, I also have perfectionist traits and tend to bottle up my emotions - although I got better at dealing with...

Hi, Is anyone able to explain to me if/how the brain causes the production of gas in the gut? I have been getting really bloated and gassy, and I have excessive flatulence that lasts for several hours on a daily basis. I struggle with anxiety and think this might be a TMS issue, however I'm...

Hey everyone, First off, like so many others out there, I've had TMS symptoms my entire life. I remember the chronic ear infections and allergies so bad I would have to come home from school, along with a general feeling of insecurity and unease. When I was in my twenties, the digestive/IBS...

Hi all! I discovered The Way Out by Alan Gordon last year and have been battling IBS, Rectal Pain, and neck pain. What’s weird is I’ve been working on myself for about 7 months now and it’s been helping a lot except for the neck pain. I’m starting to question whether I should go get another x...

I have read in so many places that ibs is caused by overuse of antibiotics or post infection

So my symptoms started 6 months ago which I attributed to going hard in the gym, weight lifting. I started to get itching/burning all over my genitals, groin and anal area. I would have horrific burning especially when I would be sitting down all over my sitting area as if on fire. I figured it...

I've been actively involved in the TMS Community for about a year and a half but had no yet posted my recovery story. A lot of twists and turns along with some moments of doubt along the way. In a nutshell, I have had TMS symptoms going back to probably when I was 8 or so - the first one I can...

After 20 plus years of TMS and over five years of doing the work and not giving up, but giving in, I can finally say I am CURED! From nerve and muscle pain, IBS, balance issues, rib spasms, “carpal tunnel and other weird shoulder crap to pelvic and back pain and more, I have kicked TMS to the...

I’m not sure what to do. I’m in the middle of one of the worst IBS/acute rectal and colon spasm flares I’ve had for a long while and I’m feeling close to breaking point with the pelvic pain and stress. It’s been building up for a few days. Last night I couldn’t find a comfortable position in...

Hello everyone, I'm a 25 year old male and I want to tell my story. First of all I think my personality really fits into what is described as the TMS- personality. During all my life I had felt slightly anxiety, although not at levels of panic attacks. I have been suffering from...

Does anyone have experience with this I conquered back pain 2 years ago except for occasional twinges. I have osteoarthritis, but no longer catastrophize. One thing Sarno talked about regarding rage---sometimes the rage is about getting older. In the last half year, I have picked up an IBS...

Hello, I have recovered from full body pain and bizarre unexplainable (but clearly explained by TMS) symptoms. 2 years ago I had back as well as full body pain, nerve issues, and all around very scary symptoms. After working with a TMS Dr. and my TMS therapist for a few months, I was virtually...

Warning: graphic content. Everyone in traditional medicine gives a certain amount of lip service to mind-body disorders, but they still presume you have the physical disorder. Only Dr Martinez at NE Baptist said "nothing wrong with your spine. GO home . Exercise. You have TMS." Are there any...
