symptoms

Hi there. This is my first time posting here, but I've lurked on the site and have been familiar with Sarno for years. I'm struggling with many, many symptoms, and they all feed into my intense hypochondria/illness anxiety, which isn't something I've seen mentioned here. The last 40 days have...

I know this might come across as cynical, but I mean the title somewhat humorously with, yes, a dash of cynicism I've found that podcasts and books tend to highlight people who have been "cured" or mostly so within a few months, a year, perhaps 2 years at the most if they've had a relapse...

Has anyone realised that their symptoms were sometimes a Body Says No type of thing? My symptoms get a lot better when I am enjoying myself. They tend to get better when I am with people I like. They get better when I am doing something meaningful. I just went abroad for 3 weeks to volunteer at...

Hi All, Further to my post on the support sub forum, which I appreciate was perhaps as bit too medical, I wondered if it'd be possible to have a more general discussion about how to know when TMS takes over from real illness (I'm now something like 99.9% sure that what I have is TMS and not a...

Hi everyone, I know I’ve already posted about this in the past how my husband is a trigger of one of some of my symptoms. But I feel stuck and need help :( the most annoying symptom that bothers me the most happens when I’m around my husband. My body goes into a braving pattern around him...

Hi all- I did the SEP in Sept, noticed a huge difference in pain reduction. Symptoms flared again after an illness put me back into a fear based mindset. I had a very emotionally taxing January so decided to start Journaling again. SO MUCH is coming up. I am working through some deep stuff in...

Hello. About 2.5 years ago, I started to have bladder pain and frequency. Since that time, symptoms have ebbed and flowed and changed a bit. Right now, I am urinating a lot at night and not during the day, no matter really how much I drink. Can the nervous system decide when you urinate...

TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY, JAN 22 Join us for a special broadcast with Brad Gutting (Admin for the MindBody Syndrome Facebook Page) Michael Galinsky (main character and director of All The Rage, documentary about the late Dr John Sarno) Bring your Questions to the LIVE broadcast and Take Home Healing...

Hi everyone, I have been on this journey for two years now and have had many pretty eccentric symptoms and done about every type of modality (TMS) there is and read most books (told my many of the MDs and therapists I work with that I need to focus less on TMS). However I have some newer...

Ok so i had a huge success in eliminating a lot of TMS symptoms like back and shoulder pain, IBS, GERD and a lot of ear symptoms but i am still left with some war symptoms that i don’t know how to eliminate. I am left with ETD so mainly clicking and popping sounds, very very mild tinnitus only...

How to manage when for the most part I have to be knocked out with meds to sleep for any relief, pain on ankles up to lower back. Hard to walk although I push myself as I’ve spent too many months getting weaker and now with even more pain. I still after months of trying various mind body cannot...

I wanted to thank this community for the guidance and support when I needed it the most. I don’t know where I would be if I hadn’t learned about Dr. Sarno and TMS. I’m going to apologize in advance if this is long. My chronic pain symptoms are gone so I figured I’d stop putting off my story. I...

Curious to know if others experience an increase in symptoms/discomfort after exercise? I know why TMS symptoms occur and that they are a mind-body connection but I'm wondering about these post-exercise symptoms and what might be the cause(s). I generally feel them after riding the exercise...

In the past four months, I’ve been on this forum daily. For the simple reason: it keeps me sane. What has changed for me? My symptoms haven’t really improved all that much. They have gone up and down. The best: the edge came off the pain. The more extreme symptoms subsided from time to time...

Hi All, I am a TMS success story, having recovered from chronic hand pain and stiffness that I had suffered from for years. I have been recovered for a year. Recently, I also recovered from some facial pain that had developed due to my fear surrounding rosacea (which have since treated and...

Hi everyone, I am new to tms wiki and glad to be here. As my titles states I have widespread symptoms at the moment. My main symptom that causes alot of anxiety and fear is the symptom I have on my scalp and face. It is a sensation of tightness and pulling that makes concentration very hard...

Hi everyone, Long time TMSer here. I had a funny thing happen to me recently that I would like to share involving symptoms during a large 'symptom flare'. I've really been going through it lately with lots of heavy life stuff, and I of course started into a major symptom flare, pain in the...

Dear community members, I would like to share my story and see if anybody has similar experience. My partner suffered from terrible back and neck pain for years and tried everything but didn't work. My friend told me about Dr. Sarno's books last year and I convinced my partner to read them. It...

Hi everyone. Hope all is well. I just got fired today via Text and i was not expecting that. I got angry, mad, sad at the same time. I started talking to myself to vent, but i dont know what else to do to avoid a setback. Any advice please, I am doing really great and dont want to go back to how...
