insomnia and sleep problems

I don't like feeling this way, because I know it's my pain talking, but I feel like I just want to die and get this life over with it. This is my truth and I accept it. I've been a worrier my whole life. After a night of smoking weed (age 19), I developed panic disorder and my life took an awful...

This is going to be a long and interesting timeline of my life and how I’ve gone through different types of pain like backache, headache, chronic Insomnia, chronic fatigue, sciatica, tingling nerves in the body, numbing hands, depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia. I’d say I’ve recovered 95%. I...

Hello friends! I’m no stranger to TMS or the lovely Dr. Sarno. I've recovered from debilitating back pain, foot pain, and various other maladies dating back to the 1980s. I retired early from my job (middle school teacher and librarian) last June. Kids were becoming more violent, admin was...

Hi there! First of all I am thrilled to find this community! I have been a TMS sufferer for many years and have had success in eliminating neck back and hand pain. However I also have had insomnia for three years. I’m pretty healthy otherwise and I’m starting to suspect that this is a TMS...

Hi. I have had MANY manifestations of TMS over the last 30+ years. Small / short-term symptoms reoccur several times every year and I can "think" them away. But about once a year I get symptoms that force me to get back into the studying of Dr. Sarno / TMS material and this eventually...

TMS: I had severe wrist pain in both hands, burning foot pain, both legs pain, pins and needles, and numbness. Medical doctors diagnosed me with Idiopathic small fiber neuropathy(simply means we don't know the reason for the pain)/Tarsal Tunnel syndrome/Reynaud's syndrome. Reading Dr Sarno’s...

Recovery from Chronic Insomnia I recovered from chronic TMS (The Mindbody Syndrome) pain (fibromyalgia and migraine) in 2014 after using TMS healing strategies for about a year. You can read my success story on this here. However, it took me about another 3 years to finally recover from chronic...

Hello friends. I'm back after a hiatus, because once again my subconscious is in overdrive. I'm blessed to have overcome several debilitating rounds of pain, thanks to Dr. Sarnoff and tms wiki: back pain (1980s and 90s), plantar fasciitis (2011-13), and migraines (2009-17). But now I'm...

After getting back to life and overcoming some pretty serious TMS symptoms I still can't seem to get back to sleeping soundly. I try to not let it concern me, but with work and studies it gets a little hard to manage with insomia. Thing is, I no longer have issues going to sleep, it's that I...

Hey everyone It's my first day on the forum and I'm so thankful I found this place. I'm Rob, 34 years old and male. For the past 7 days I've been experiencing urinary frequency, discomfort in lower abdomen and pelvis and crippling anxiety and insomnia. The doctor has run the tests and they...

Just saw this article in the Guardian and thought I'd share it. I'm always looking for new insomnia strategies to try when needed. This one sounds good. I just downloaded the app for $2.99 but haven't tried it yet...

Hi everyone! So my TMS has been Chronic Fatigue Syndrome-like symptoms -- unrelenting fatigue all day, insomnia, GI problems, dizziness upon standing up, exercise intolerance, poor circulation to my extremities, etc. I've had all the medical tests and all is completely normal, which leads me to...

I also have to say that since I started this work I have been able to get 7 hours of sound, unmedicated sleep, about 4 nights out of 7! That is a miracle for me! I have always had chronic insomnia and before I began this program I would go 3 and 4 days in a row on 2 hours of sleep! So that's...

I'll try to make it quick (first post)... My name is Daniel. I started having joint issues in knees, hips, shoulders, elbows and ankles about 8 years ago (21 y/o). Eventually developed back and sacrum pain which then turned into burning stinging pain down legs and in sacrum. Developed an...

I am a 52 year old man. I started having back pain when I was a teenager. I “sprained” my back when I was 15 years old, and was temporarily paralyzed. I spent 3 weeks in bed and another 3 weeks on crutches. You have to understand that I was an otherwise healthy kid. I was very athletic and...

I have worked through the structured education program all the way to Day 31, however, this is the first time I have made a post. I fully believe that I have TMS and the program/journalling is definitely helping me. I started to get pain in my shoulders/back/arms at the same time I started my...

Hi All, As we've seen emotions play a huge role in the causation of insomnia. Dr David Hanscom also stresses the importance of a good night sleep to heal. I've come across this interesting Ted Talk by Jeff Lliff regarding the importance of sleep and how it cleanses the mind...

At the time of my last post I was taking some time off, staying at my mom's out in the country, had decided to quit my band, was hoping to go to Hawaii and then find a new living situation upon my return. I'm now back in the city, working and staying at a friend's apartment while he is out of...
