There are have been quite a few folks posting about their long term struggles with TMS and how they have not yet found the ease in life that they would so very like to find. Wed. Sept 14th TMS Roundtable presents a discussion with Dr. Schechter (a medical doctor who has experienced and...

I'm happy to be posting this thread, as my second ever thread created on this forum. My first thread covered my story before I fully committed to TMS. To avoid repeating myself, here is that thread https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/threads/new-to-tms-trying-to-work-out-if-my-rsi-is-tms.26114/ (New...

hey all, i try to keep it short + concise. I did suffer chronic (8 months) sciatic pain this year. this pain is 95-100% gone. I do still have rare very minor flareups which I am able to control and get back to zero very quickly. in the prior years I did had frequent low back pain, which then...

Hi everyone, It has been a while since my last post. Just a few words regarding my "story". In 2014 I got several physiological symptoms (heartburn, shoulder pain, adductor pain, neck pain, ...) due to unprocessed bereavement of my father and stress during my studies. After psychotherapy and...

I never thought I'd post my success story here. I spent years doubting mindbody medicine - and quite frankly, these forums - and it wasn't until yesterday that I realized that not only have I been completely healed, but I was never injured at all. And I owe a deep debt of gratitude to the pain I...

Is Recover from TMS linear or like roller coaster ride. Does pain decrease slowly or gradually over time after starting TMS program ? Or Pain follows uneven pattern of flares and low before fading away completely.

What an inspiring show, Rose and I spent an evening on the Roundtable with Rita and Tamara. We heard each of their stories, suffering and ultimate healing; and saw their strength of character unfold. So much healing was revealed as well as many healing insights for anyone with TMS.... to take...

--- Summary --- What's greater than the gift of health? I went from being a person who felt like there was something wrong with their body ... to a healthy, normal person (whatever normal is). The mind-body treatment pioneered by Dr. John Sarno and carried on by others has transformed my...

When I first discovered Dr Sarno and began my journey into TMS etc, I scoured the forums for snippets of hope that I could devour. I hope this will help you. My last post here was Feb 2020 and I was struggling every single day with severe sciatica. I struggled to walk. From one room to the...

I am curious if there is anyone on here who has successfully recovered or improved their TMS condition and then gone back to a medical practitioner who previously told you your pain was due to some XYZ structural problem? It just occurred to me that here is a typical scenario on here (let's...

Hi all! I joined the TMS wiki almost 2 years ago when I first learned about Dr. Sarno's work since I had had chronic pain for a couple of years along with other TMS symptoms (anxiety, acid reflux, etc). In my 2-year journey since learning about and 100% accepting the diagnosis and trying many...

In this video I discuss the three biggest mistakes that delay recovery from TMS. it is meant for the general audience so I do spend a couple of minutes explaining TMS. Mistakes That Delay Recovery - YouTube if you have not viewed the videos on Rapid Recovery please visit this earlier post...

Like many TMS’ers, I’ve had shifting symptoms, but as with my post on “fragmented sleep” I recovered from Night Sweats with possibly a non-TMS technique. The Night Sweats were so bad, that my pyjamas, pillow and bed sheets were drenched as if somebody had tipped a full bucket of water on to the...

I would like to share a story of a recent bout with TMS that I experienced. I will share it in detail because I think it could be helpful in understanding the nature of TMS. Seven years ago, I recovered from over a decade of crippling foot pain, as well as bouts of eye pain, back pain, and...

I’d been suffering fragmented sleep for a couple of months and couldn’t see an end to it. I would go to sleep and suddenly wake up after only two hours. This was usually accompanied by an urge to urinate. Why was I waking up after two hours when I was previously a good sleeper for at least six...

I finished the 21 day multimedia pain recovery program but am still confused on what exactly to do daily? some things I could make a list of are 1. Lose the fear and resentment and despair about symptoms/pain. 2.Use somatic tracking daily..but for how long though? should you body scan each...

Hello, Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm not one to bore you with the details, but have been on a long journey since suffering a minor back complaint a few years ago. Fast-forward a few years (and plenty of x-rays, MRI's, and cortisone injections) and have discovered Dr Sarno's work on...
