anyone know of a rheumatologist who is aware of mindbody connection/TMS?

[lee94]

i was diagnosed with anklyosing spondilitis due to buttock pain, HLA-B27 gene, and MRI of sacroiliac inflammation but think it might've been TMS, wondering if there are rheumatologists who are aware of mindbody connection and tms

The answer is no. They are in the business of the medical industry. You may as well be on another planet unfortunately. Your best bet is to consult with an MD in the field of TMS. Everything you describe is classic TMS.

Dr. Andrea Leonard-Segal wrote a chapter in Sarno's The Divided Mind titled A Rheumatologist's Experience with Psychosomatic Disorders. She also has a page on this tms.wiki website (https://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/Andrea_Leonard-Segal,_MD (Andrea Leonard-Segal, MD)) that indicates Sarno treated her for chronic back pain. Apparently she is in her 70s but still practicing in Washington, D.C.

Autoimmune diseases are usually excluded from the TMS frame (except by dr. Gabor Maté !) and rheumatologists are "hunting" for autoimmune diseases.
The big deal is: is truly anklyosing spondilitis an autoimmune disease ? Is it an inflamatory process?
Is your buttock pain due to anklyosing spondilitis? Don't be attached to your diagnostic, please.

I have been referring people to Shannon Harvey https://www.shannonharvey.com/ (www.ShannonHarvey.com) who recovered from autoimmune disease after was given a very gloomy diagnosis. She is doing quite well and no longer has any symptoms. Check her out.
