recovery

I just wanted to share a conversation I had a several months ago with a friend who is neurologist physician. He is a friend, an I actually respect him a lot, and he was talking to me about my back pain. And I remember him telling me what others had, well meaning doctors and friends, that I...

My TMS recovery story is long and complicated, but I wanted to share it because I've recovered from more forms of TMS than most people ever experience! It started in my mid-twenties with TMJ pain as well as back and neck pain, and going to the chiropractor and doing PT helped sometimes. Then...

Hi, I'm new to this site/community and am trying to be self-sufficient/not repetitive of info already provided, but I'm confused by 2 things and don't see them referenced anywhere: 1. On this page: So You Think You Might Have TMS | In this section: How to Get Better/See a doctor There's this...

Is it ok to do multiple days at once or should I keep it as is and watch and read a single day a few times over each day?

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share an article I had published on the RSDSA site recently, in which I recount my TMS success story! https://rsds.org/i-recovered-and-so-can-you/?fbclid=IwAR3sf6gCV6Vqu8Ac13ju5cVZP123pj2ZnLWfXvvv-I1uYIn9aUyC9frrjP8 (I Recovered and So Can You! - RSDSA)

I wrote this poem in Dec 2017 as my recovery started quickly progressing (I’ve never written any poetry before this) and have only showed 3 people in that time :/ I feels nice to have summed up that period of my life, and to give me some closure :) :) Injury, followed by loss, confusion my ego...

So my story begins in 2012, when I was in the last few months of my PhD. My studies were not going well, and I'd just had a year of sh*t piled on me (Mum got diagnosed with a terminal illness, my long term partner and I broke up, and I had a cancer scare and had to have surgery). So I was, to...

I had struggled with major digestive issues for well over a year and lost 35 pounds because of it. I was convinced I had LPR (Silent Acid reflus), GERD, and IBS. I was able to get over other health issues in the past using Sarno's methods as I had back pain and nephropathy that I was able...

My boyfriend & I have been in a serious relationship for 2 years. We don’t live together & we don’t routinely see each other throughout the week, just the weekend. We have different work schedules & live in opposite parts of town, about 20-30 mins apart. I knew I wouldn’t be able to rely on him...

In January 2016, at the age of 23, I came down with severe pelvic pain that would go on to cripple and debilitate me for the next two years of my life. Even thinking about it just now is a difficult experience because it causes me to relieve all the suffering that I had to endure. But I've...

Hello everyone, wow, i haven't been on this site in months... I really can't even explain how awesome that feels considering I was literally on this site everyday, multiple times a day this time last year. I started having several TMS symptoms (now looking back on my life) and eventually ended...

Hi Forum Members, I hope this part of my success story is helpful for readers here, who might want details of my history. My story shows how deep one can go into fear, endless searching, money spending ---and still ultimately recover. Many people who come here have similar stories!! I was...

According to this article, multiple studies have found that opioid use may actually increase pain sensitization (possibly independent of drug tolerance) over time, a condition known as "opioid-induced hyperalgesia."...

Hi all, I realize it has been over a year since I found Dr. Sarno, TMS and these forums and that I never officially posted my success story! I know i’ve spoken to many of you about it but here it is, fleshed out. Hopefully a little inspiration for those still struggling…though you are never...

Howdy! I have been a long time TMS sufferer -- my entire life I think,. I am 48. I first encountered Dr Sarno when I was 21, and I was one of those "I read the book, now I am healed!" people. Not so fast. For the last almost 3 decades I have had a series of TMS related challenges, most of...

Hey TMS Wiki! I hope you have all seen the awesome piece in TechCrunch about our app, Curable. The woman in the story is the wife of the journalist who wrote the piece, and her life has been completely changed. She experienced RSI decades ago and was an instant "book cure" when she picked up...

So excited to be sharing my RSI success story! I have been a heavy laptop user my whole life, with atrocious, basically non-existent ergonomics. Part of me always expected that I would end up with computer-related aches and pains (as my mom is full of these kinds of ailments). So it wasn't...

Tomorrow I shall be celebrating two weeks of being pain free after a 3 month spell of agonising, unrelenting pain. I have been suffering with my pain on and off for three years and was disheartened for it to return in July this year after a good pain-free spell of around 18 months or so...

If any of you are in the Chicago area and have TMS, you're probably familiar with Dr. John Stracks... he's an excellent TMS physician who's been at Northwestern for many years and just left to start his own practice. He's actually MY doctor, and he's the one who introduced me to TMS concepts...
