Hey guys, Kevin here. (26M) My horrible back pain is almost gone now which is amazing. Growing up, I dealt with migraines, especially when I was like 15. My doctor just chalked it up to puberty, and I guess that might have been true, as it went from like once every week or two to more like every...

Has anyone here worked with Dr. Laurel Steinberg for migraines? I read about her and she follows Dr. Sarno’s techniques. Curious to hear about any experiences.

How timely is this podcast, and the news that Nicole Sachs LCSW, is putting together a program just for teens - with 16-year old Kate (her partner Lisa's daughter)???!!! This is great news. If you are a teenager with TMS symptoms, or a young adult still wondering how you could have started...

Hello all, I want to address a serious issue: diets. I posted my first post the other day on TMS Wiki about the website sarnoclinic.com and was criticizing this website for mentioning nightshade vegetables (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplants) as being linked with arthritis. I should no...

Hello all, here's my story. It is quite long and is really quite extraordinary. I have had quite a healing journey and John Sarno has helped me through it. Bear with me.... Prior to 2020, I suffered for many years from a wide variety of horrible symptoms. I was absolutely debilitated from...

I have had TMS on and off for about 6 years now. First it was back pain that I was able to overcome after about 11 months by going through Dr. Sarno’s book and the recovery program on this forum. Then my pain came back a few times either in the back, neck or feet and I was able to identify it as...

I started working with Dr. Laurel Steinberg while seeking relief from my years long suffering with anxiety, relationship difficulties and chronic migraine headaches. Since working with Dr. Steinberg I have flourished in many more ways than the wonderful-in-itself, complete relief from grips of...

I'm suffering immensely from almost-daily migraines, and nothing helps the pain. There is no physical cause for the headaches so I'm suspecting it to be TMS. I'm so overwhelmed with pain that I don't even know where to start. Advice appreciated.

Background: I've had headaches most of my life, and remember them becoming a bit more consistent/intense around age 25 (I'm currently 35). I had a deviated septum and a lot of sinus issues and thought those might be a cause. Around age 31 my headaches were probably 1-1.5x weekly and quite...

Thinking of either joining a gym or picking up a contact sport classes (Brazilian jiu-jitsu BJJ)). I have TMS in the form of migraines and I find this was due to anger and also stress with Covid being a large contributor. My migraines have almost all reduced but whenever I am stressed they will...

Early in the pain recovery process, I read over and over that I should stop talking about the pain. It’s in multiple books and podcasts on the subject, so being the good little student that I am, I took that to heart and immediately stopped all pain discussions. I remember telling my husband...

Bonjour à tous, Je tiens déjà à m'excuser pour mon mauvais anglais (je suis français :), je me présente je m'appelle Greg j'ai 40 ans et je souffre de céphalées de tension quotidiennes et de migraines fréquentes. J'ai suivi un parcours thérapeutique assez chaotique comme beaucoup d'entre vous...

The number of friends & family who are suffering from TMS continues to increase, while I continue to struggle to convince them to at even consider the possibility of a psychosomatic source of the problem. The fact that I am hopelessly mired in my own TMS definitely makes it a heckuva lot harder...

Hello all! I am not new to TMS as I have successfully healed myself more than 5 years ago of debilitating chronic neck pains. However I started having migraines (at first every 6-7 months to now once or twice a week!) since march 2015. Silly me only realized (or fully accepted) this week that...

I have experienced quite a few ocular migraines over the years and they are scary. First time I had them I thought I was going blind which scared me. I was wondering if there is a connection between ocular migraines (migraine aura) and TMS. I watched videos of Dr Sarno talking about TMS and that...

I just stumbled on a note I took a while back quoting from Oliver Sacks autobiography. It seems quite supportive of the whole Sarno approach. At the point in the book, Sacks was working at a migraine clinic and had a patient who had recurring migraines every Sunday. Via a pill, Sacks managed to...
