tension myositis syndrome - tms

Hi Guys n Gals! I hope you will excuse my direct approach, but I have created some Chronic Pain / TMS Reference Cards, which I believe would make a great addition to anyone’s healing toolkit, currently struggling with the effects of chronic pain. As someone who has suffered personally with the...

I've been away from the boards and website for quite a while now, since shortly after completing the SEP. I started the program January 24 of this year (2016), and completed it in roughly 60 days. At that time I never thought I would ever be able to write my success story on these same forums...

This is my first post here, but I hope this does not discourage anyone from finding hope in my story. First, I'll tell you about me. I am a 23 years old girl who lived an ordinary life, my parents always loved me, but they always found it difficult to be emotionally close and physically...

Hi, I've read all about outcome independence and how important it is in overcoming conditioned responses, but do you have any examples of what it looks like in practice?

I'm just wondering if self-absorption is a common trait among those with TMS. I am aware that TMS is a pain syndrome and that people in pain are generally self-absorbed but I'm wondering if this trait is more prevalent amongst TMS'ers? From my own perspective I have noticed that since my...

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...

My story begins with a bike ride. On July 15th, 2012 I was on a one-hundred mile bike ride when an abnormal pressure manifested in my right leg. The sensation wasn’t particularly painful, so I didn’t think much of it. One week later, I went on another bike ride; however, this time the pressure...

Hello all- I think I may have discovered a correlation that (I hope) will bring people some relief from their pain. Granted many of you have already figured this out. At a minimum I hope it will provide you with a better understanding of how we/you “respond” to TMS. Let me preface this by...

(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...

I wanted to give you a link to a podcast that Dr. David Schechter did with the DrunkenTaoist in which he discussed the Mind-Body Connection. Here's a direct link to the audio. I'd skip the first 11 minutes because Dr. Schechter doesn't come on until 11:02. Also, the interviewer does swear and...

There is a general misconception about TMS that is the reason why people are having trouble and are on this forum, searching for help. I am trying my best to explain things so that hopefully, some of you can see the error in your thinking. Dr. Sarno discovered that people who are prone to TMS...

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...

When pain symptoms begin to ease up, did anyone experience lots of anxiety or chest pains?

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, Well, we've always wanted for TMS to be featured on the Oprah TV show, and while that show might not be around any more, at least TMS has finally made it into her magazine! O, the Oprah Magazine, has a verified paid circulation of 2.4 million people, meaning that those millions of...
