tension myositis syndrome - tms

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...

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...

INTRODUCTION Hello guys! I had Rotator Cuff Pain for 8 years now! It is a very sad and frustrating condition that led me to many depression/anxiety episodes. I am a fighter in life and i don't care to sacrifice everything and work my ass off day and night to reach my goal. So when this thing...

6 years ago, I suffered my 5th and worst bout with TMS since the age of 18. Since then, I have managed to continue the life of a long distance runner. This Sunday, I finished in the top 12% at the 2014 TCS NYC Marathon (my 3rd marathon overall). I am now 42 years old and in the best physical...

Hello everyone. I'm new here. I've had RSI in both arms for nearly 3 months now. My pain started in my wrist a few hours after using a drawing tablet on my laptop. I was nearly at my wits end as I've tried everything (rest, splints, massage, medicine) to treat it and it only got worse as it...

Hello I am in the day 4 of the program. I was a dr.Sarno patient 8 years ago. I met him because of back pain, sciatica could not walk properly, Sarno gave me back my confidence and told me I was stressed and feeling guilty. He also said I am a "goodist". Back from Italy a month ago I started to...

I feel I'm through the worst of TMS causing my fibromyalgia and I know my triggers of stress. I am now left with the symptoms of Reynauds and back pain. It feels now that Reynauds was fogging up the problem of what the area to concentrate on was. After saying to my Dr in a non-medical term it...

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...

When the cheeks hit the chair, there's nothing but(t) despair. Several people have emailed me about their pain when sitting. When you decide to take your life back you’ll no longer fear your pain, and vice versa: when you no longer fear your pain, you’ve decided to take your life back. Pain...

I'm a long-time student of TMS pain and very familiar with the subject. I've had three episodes of different types of TMS: From 2001-2007 I was suffering from excruciating pain in my hands, especially while typing on the computer. My hands and arms felt like they were on fire, burning with...

Summary This is my story of conquering back pain! I started getting pain about 3 months after beginning my office job. I believed it was caused by too much sitting. I saw many "experts," none of whom could offer me much help. I stopped doing most physical activities because I was afraid they...

Here is a checklist of the most important lessons I learned from Claire's book -- Hope and Help for your Nerves. She has 4 terms that she uses together. Face, Accept, Float and time. Which ones are you not doing? This works as equally well for Pain as it does for Anxiety. Dos and Don’ts 1. Do...

Hello all. This is my first time in this forum and I'm searching for some advice. I feel rather hopeless at the moment. My lower back pain began one year ago on my left side, running down my left leg (sciatica?). It became difficult to sleep on my left side and sitting for long periods...

Hi Everyone! I am new to this forum because I've just discovered this new concept of TMS. My pain started 3 years ago due to a horrible experience with "special brownies." It was my first time trying them, and it was the result of my first panic attack, resulting in me getting sent to the...

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...

Hello Everyone! I'm excited to announce that I've finally completed my success story in video format and uploaded it to YouTube yesterday. The link for the playlist is below: I wanted to create something comprehensive that people could relate to and also learn from so I broke it down into 7...

I wanted to try to help some people who are confused and stuck in healing, so I'll add to this thread as we go. Everyone is stuck in healing, but most people think they're the exception. Take it easy on yourselves, you're doing fine. It's extremely rare that someone would read, understand and...

I've been encouraged to write my story, so here goes! My first bout of debilitating back pain occurred when I was about 13. My mother had a long history of back pain, including two failed spinal fusions. I saw orthopedists who diagnosed scoliosis, and I tried various girdle-like back braces...
