success story

Originally posted: February 5, 2015 This month's most amazing story was a woman who came in recently with thirty-five (35) years of symptoms. She had pain, fatigue, digestive issues and other issues. Over the years she had been diagnosed (mis-diagnosed) as fibromyalgia, CFS (chronic...

Hi folks, I found another success story posted on YouTube. I think it's interesting that it was Dr. Sarno's first book that helped her. His early books seem to speak to people really well. I think that it is great that she is helping to spread the word.

I was encouraged by my practitioner, Daniel Lyman, to finally post a success story here 'cos he felt that I was at a stage of my recovery that I could be called a 'success'. I think that in itself speaks volumes as to how far I've come along my TMS journey. My pain has not gone away 100% but I...

How many patients have you had with chronic fatigue syndrome and you treated it as a TMS equivalent? How severe was their condition when you started seeing them? How much did it improve, and how long did it take? Did anyone who was severely affected see complete resolution of their symptoms?

Hi everyone! I just finished up with a two week residency program of my meditation school. I graduated and can feel the pleasure of accomplishment. Last year when I went to the residency, I was in pain for most of it - didn't go to the parties at night because of the pain, didn't sit with my...

Since discovering the work of Dr. John Sarno 8 months ago, my life has undergone a transformation that I had never dreamed was possible. My journey of chronic pain began when I was 15 years old. I developed chronic, crippling pain in my left foot that was diagnosed as plantar fasciitis. After...

Another short video in which a TMS believer tells her pain free story: No name, but a young woman says she had been in chronic back pain for years and underwent all kinds of medical treatment after being diagnosed with two herniated back discs. Nothing helped her until she read Dr. John...

This video is another short but terrific interview with another TMS believer: This fellow had nearly six years of chronic back pain and spent $20,000 a year on medical treatments and diagnoses. Then he discovered Dr. JohnSarno and Dr. David Schechter and after a week 50 percent of his pain...

In this excellent 10-minute video: a lovely blonde-haired 20-year-old, Holly, tells how she healed from more than eight years of back, leg, and other pain that had been diagnosed by doctors as fibromyalgia. She became pain free a few years ago by believing her symptoms were caused by...

Another of Dr. Schechter's patients, a young man, tells how reading Dr. Sarno's Healing Back Pain started him on the road to recovering from nearly four years of back pain. He then took part in Dr. Schechter's program and says he began healing right away. He says he is almost totally free of...

This short video is excellent with a patient of Dr. Howard Schechter telling how he healed from back and other painthrough TMS journalling. He says he had a lot of anger and anxiety because of job and financial stress. He tried everything medical but nothing helped relieve his pain until he...

Dr. David Schechter posted a video success story we can all benefit from watching. In a short video, a man said he had suffered from years of back pain and an MRI showed he had degenerative back problems. He tried everything medical but nothing helped until he read Dr. Sarno's book Healing...

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of interviewing TMS therapist and author Nicole Sachs. Her journey and recovery from TMS was incredibly inspiring to listen to. I am happy to share the interview with you all here. Nicole was one of Dr. Sarno’s alumni panelists, and recently came out with a...

Hi, all... One of the great things that we can do with our wonderful new forum is that we can post YouTube videos! I thought I'd start us off by posting a success story because those are always good, but I encourage others to post whatever videos they think others might find helpful. This...

Thanks to everyone on the TMS Wiki for their support, stories and encouragement. Here is my success story. For anyone who is skeptical, don't be, it works! After about 6 months of progressively worsening hip (buttock) pain, a friend gave me the Sarno books. I started reading them and they made...

This is my first post here. Just joined last night. I am a member at tmshelp.com forum for a couple years and post frequently over there. I have know about this forum but just didn't have the time to spend at both places. Don't want to be redundant. I saw quite a few members belong to both...

Hi all. Here is my healed-from-TMS story from several years ago. Hope you find it helpful. First noticed a weird back pain after coming back from vacation; just figured I had carried a heavy suitcase up and down some stairs. Next time I felt this it was accompanied by tingling/pain in my right...

Hello all, My name is Andrew Miller. I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist-Intern working with PPD/TMS patients in the Los Angeles area. At one time I was a member of the TMShelp.org forum and recently completed an interview with Forrest about my own TMS success story...
