symptoms

I found this success story to be one of the best I have heard. He outlines his MIND process to curing his chronic symptoms. Graded exposure Faith that he will be pain free Self compassion at times he is struggling with relapse or the symptom imperative Setting goals that are not tied to...

Sorry for my English, not my native language... I am in a very low place in my life at the moment. It started with unsuccessful dental surgery and led to tons of stress and anxiety for 4 months, non-stop, every day. And then it started... Out of nowhere, in the shower, I got burning in my...

Just been to the doctor to check out my elbow and knee which have been acting up lately and I feel like an imposter. The conversation went like this: Does this hurt? Nope. Does this hurt? Not really. What about this? Ehhh..no? Mhm..how about like this? No.. It's crazy how I can feel like an...

Hello all, I am struggling with a bunch of neurological symptoms, to name a few: Numbness that comes and goes over the whole body Muscle spasms Burning spot all over the body Tremor Strange pain in the scalp/head Lump in the throat Muscle pain Sometimes wake up with numb hands Heat...

So I’ve posted on here a few times explaining that i have trigger fingers on both hands. They haven’t improved much yet and im still trying to fully convince myself they are due to tms. I wake up and all my fingers are stiff and trigger really bad. It takes about 5minutes of movement for them...

Hello All, Long time lurker. I don't know where to begin. Been an athlete and in great physical shape most of my life. Never even had a doctor Then at the at age of 44 (I'm currently 50) - everything blew up instantly. Mine was a steady progression that started in my shoulder and spread...

CAn anyone share wisdom or teaching I can access on this issue? I am able to use somatic tracking so effectively, crazily effectively actually, to manage my previous pain, but the fatigue isn’t budging. If anything it’s increasing. Do I plough through it and just do stuff, as currently even...

I honestly didn’t expect things to progress this quickly! I haven’t even finished the book yet! Anyway, so I decided today that I was going to get up, stop ‘resting’ (see: avoiding everything, my fear, any symptoms, pain) and just got on with my day. I’m packing the house up as we’re moving at...

Hi All, I dont get on here very often because most of my symptoms have abated. I get some new stuff here and there and I know how to approach it for the most part minus this one. I've been feeling very tired after I eat. Like sleepy and lethargic, even when I drink something. I suspect TMS...

Hi everyone. First off I just have to say that Dr Sarnos teachings have pretty much given me new life and brought me back from Rock bottom , especially after my failed back surgery. Now I’m having another issue. Sometimes I’ll get discomfort/ pain in my chest area. This has happened when I’m...

Has anyone had strange neurological symptoms that couldn't be explained by a disease? I've had electric shock sensations on my chest on and off for over ten years and they got more painful this year. Then earlier this year my right arm fell asleep for over a day and both legs did the same after...

Just wondering if this is something that any of you guys have experienced? It seems I picked up a mild cold on the weekend and since then a few symptoms that had been gradually improving (deep fatigue, brain fog and back pain/stiffness) have kicked up quite intensely. Much more intensely than...

During the last several months I’ve experienced some new symptoms — fatigue, brain fog, restless legs, dizziness, and confusion. At first, I attributed it to stress since I’ve had TMS equivalents in the past that got better. However, this time it never seemed to got better and kept getting...

The question to ponder in the seventh day is: Are you having success at recognizing the emotions connected to your pain ? I don't know if I can contribute to this discussion, as I am not sure yet. But ... As far as dizziness is concerned ( I would like to write because there is few information...

Hello I've been a tmser for 20 plus yrs Dr Sarno and this forum helped me move past long term backpain in my 20s Since then it's been a long list of substitute symptoms Leg, shoulder, elbow etc I've been treating them all as TMS and seem to have navigated most of them with some success...

Just popping in to say KEEP GOING! Life is BEAUTIFUL on the other side. Yesterday I walked 5 miles, planted fall flowers, took a nap, prepared a family dinner, played yard games, ate and drank delicious food including beef, cookies, and wine, and then played a rousing game of “monster” where...

I'm starting to get sick, and my symptoms (rsi in wrists/forearms) are much more persistent today. Thanks to this therapy, I'm really not too worried about it, although it is a bit uncomfortable. My question is, are your symptoms more intense when you're sick? Is this heightened sensation...

In October 2021, as I was beginning preparations for making holiday chocolates for my small business, I gradually developed pain in my right hand, the hand I use most in the process of creating chocolates. It was very scary. I wrote to all on my customer list explaining that I would not be...

Early in the pain recovery process, I read over and over that I should stop talking about the pain. It’s in multiple books and podcasts on the subject, so being the good little student that I am, I took that to heart and immediately stopped all pain discussions. I remember telling my husband...

So I know I have TMS, got better with it 3 times with back pain, well this time I’ve been dealing with a different symptom (groin pain, which actually started as slight back pain)… but anyway since working on things I’ve noticed my pain shift around, symptoms drop, old pains in back/butt come...
