question

Hi all, Hope you have been keeping well! I have been up and down with my wrist issues and I have some queries. Firstly it is important to note that I am going to revisit the doctors and push to visit a specialist on these types of strain injuries so I can see if there is genuinely anything...

Hi, I have on question I have long standing nerve issues for years - last two it's significantly progressing - I tentatively have the small fiber neuropathy label - idiopathic. No objective findings of nerve dysfunction. On the other hand, I also have metabolic syndrome - high cholesterol...

Hi there to all of you I'm new to this forum but have known about Dr Sarno's technique for a very long time. When I was in my 30s due to back problems, what the doctors called a herniated disc, after having two babies, I happened upon his book in Berne, Switzerland. Now I'm 61 and have very...

Hello, As many of you I have been reading different kinds of books on TMS, and I am now reading 'The Way out' by Alan Gordon. I notice that I keep having the same "speedbump" in regards to somatic tracking, and that is that I am unable to look at my pain without finding it dangerous. The...

So, I’ve been journaling up a storm, and uncovering some surprise layers of rage and even sorrow. Meanwhile, my symptoms are spiking like crazy. I’m so tempted to get discouraged. Because I’m working really hard and it feels like I’m getting nowhere. Well, I take that back. I’m definitely...

If we feel tired, should we take naps or just continue the day?

Hello! I ve found (alléluia!) this Book in french "le meilleur anti douleur c est votre cerveau" de Sarno. I want to be that it's "the mindbody prescription" I read a lot in english especially here but I'd prefer to read Sarno in french because my subconscient doesn't speak english as well...

Anyone else with low back pain that doesn't seem to have any muscular "trigger point"? My pain jolts anytime I bend forward, on the left side of my low back. Very sharp and sudden pain anytime I do that one movement. Otherwise I feel no pain. But when I reach back there to try and rub it or...

Hey guys so if you read my history you’ll know I posted asking about Morton’s neuroma. Didn’t find as much info as I wanted but did find some old posts on tms help and spoke to two people that healed their Morton neuroma pain with tms. Quick back story…. I went to nyc this thanksgiving and...

After reading Dr. John Sarno’s book, I was able to sit and walk again without pain. However, when I returned to activities such as running and basketball, my symptoms flared up again and I can still sit without pain but I cannot walk without pain. I don’t know whether I returned to activity too...

I have been on this journey for a few months now and am very much learning the nature of "nonlinear healing" ... some days I feel I am truly on the right track and things are looking up and other days I find myself consumed with fear and dread and wondering if it's worse than it's been in the...

The TMS I have is wrist/hand pain while using the computer and mouse mainly. Should i use the keyboard and mouse while I am in the process of recovery using Dr.Sarno's Books and Techniques from the Recovery Program? Or should i start using the keyboard and mouse after I have completely healed...

Hello, this is my first post and I want to talk about how I've found myself in this forum and then ask my question. Please read though. I am 27 years old. My back pain story started about 3 years ago, during a weightlifting day. While on the bench, I put pressure on my neck and my neck muscles...

I got cupping the other day on my shoulder (which doesn't hurt but I think tms may be stopping blood there to produce symptoms further down my arm) and the physio was surprised at how dark and purple my skin was. She said that the darker the mark the more affected and stagnated the area is (badd...

Never mind

I had a surgery to remove a pilonidal sinus in oct 2020. This consists of cutting open the tailbone area(natal cleft), removing the cyst and then leaving the wound open to heal from the inside out through daily gauze changes by a nurse etc. the recovery was hell to say the least and caused me...

I have been taking klonopin for months almost daily now and I have a doubt. I started looking online and saw that it can cause issues in the brain by another user like memory loss? im not sure, but I'm worried, my doctor told me I should cut it half for the rest of the week, but I want to drop...

Hi all I have some lingering doubt which I'm hoping someone can help with. In Sarno's books, he makes it clear that the human body repairs itself very quickly, and grows back stronger when it's damaged. As a result, repetitive injuries are 'unadulterated nonsense', I think are the words he...

Ok I know that back pain is often not due to herniation. I know many people have disc herniations with no symptoms. Following is my question: For people with TMS who have back pain and herniations (but the back pain isn't caused by these), is the back pain where it would be if it were because...
