Happy to report life is back to normal and I am 100% healed. The road to success was not an easy, but I want to encourage all my fellow TMSers to NOT GIVE UP. What I have learned from this journey has made me happier, wiser and more at peace with the challenges that come in life. In February...

Hi All I haven't posted in a while and I thought I better share a bit about my last 5 months since my last acute tms hit. What happened is I acknowledged my back pain as tms. Then I stopped thinking about tms, hit the gym 2-3 times a week, journalled a couple of times a week, started to learn...

A nice September day in 2010: A 35 year old squash playing fit me bounding around life happily...casually discussed some painless and bloodless hemorrhoid development with a very senior surgeon (who happened to be a friend of the family)...ended up getting convinced to undergo a "minor"...

(Finally feeling good enough for long enough to feel confident posting my success story!) Brief Summary: A back injury from weightlifting escalated into debilitating sciatica over a period of several months. At the peak of symptom intensity, I could not sit or stand comfortably for more than a...

Around November 2014 my right hip area started hurting a fair amount. I don’t know what caused it, though I did remember feeling a slight muscle tweak as I was bounding up the stairs. After a while, I was limping about painfully. I remember doing a food run for our Christmas get-together, having...

I stopped the SEP after a few days and am selective about how I use Schubiner. The focus wasn't quite right for me. As I have said, I have probably been TMS prone all of my life. The personality traits of TMS describe me well. But they are so general that they might apply to anyone in our...

It all started in 2008 when I thought that I’d “injured” my lower back while deadlifting. After that I always had a lingering pain in my lower back and even a bit of numbness down the buttock. Squatting or heavy lifting with my back instantly exacerbated symptoms. I decided I’d permanently...

Hello community, My name is Kevin, I recently completed the SEP and am now 100% better, and I believe cured. I thought I'd post my story here. Like many of us, for the longest time I've suffered from some form of TMS, but I only learned it was TMS about 3 months ago. Reflecting back on as far...

Sorry for external links. Keep the positivity going. I think many of you would have come through this inspirational story. This is for others who haven't read this. Story #1 - How I Overcame Back Pain Through Self-Reflection Following years of mis-diagnosis I finally found the correct...

Hello everyone, I suffered from chronic pelvic pain since 2002. I fell on a wet marble floor and had pain since. Following is a short summary of my journey: -Wise-Anderson protocol -100 sessions of pelvic floor physical therapy, Botox injections, 6 nerve blocks -MRN Neurography "confirming"...

I’m putting a short version for those who just want the basics of my story, and then the full version for those that want to read the details that led to my recovery. The success stories on the TMS Wiki were instrumental in my healing. I would read a different one each day and they helped me...

I have been a member for over a year and I felt the need to share my story! I have been enduring rectal pain for over 3 years, been to multiple doctors with no diagnosis. I knew it was TMS but I was unable to overcome the pain. I believe the pain was linked to also not being able to conceive...

I want to celebrate that I am off all meds, this is a big victory for me medications no longer have strong hold on me….I have learned numerous coping skills from this site to help on my journey. I also found my voice in confronting my bully of a wife ( soon to be EX), I have that this...

I am often asked what “my story” is. Everyone who has suffered from Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) or a Psychophysiologic Disorder (PPD) has a long, tortuous story to tell - that is, if they are lucking enough to have found a TMS-trained physician or therapist who has helped them step off the...

Hello All, I'm so pleased to share my healing story with you. I was so excited about my recovery that I wrote a book about it. After two decades of debilitating chronic low-back pain, which ranged from being simply an annoying pain to incidents of paralyzing back spasms, which left me completely...

I was originally diagnosed with chronic fatigue 7 years ago when I experienced it for the first time. My GP referred me for endless tests and blood tests but they couldn’t get to the bottom of it and not knowing what to say, put it down to ‘depression’. I wasn’t depressed, I knew that...

It is my two year anniversary of learning about TMS and I realize I still haven't written out my success story. This is not because I'm without success, but due to my perfectionism I thought I needed to wait till I was free of all vestiges of TMS and TMS equivalents before declaring myself a...

Hi everyone! I would have never believed anyone if they were to tell me that I would to heal from TMS, but here I am... 5 years later, to tell you that I have. Yes 5 years, it's been a long and hard battle. It did not just happen overnight. I worked hard every day to achieve this. Let me just...
