Hi, Wendy. I felt severe back and shoulder pain two years ago.
I had just lifted something heavy. I try to avoid doctors so I waited for nature to heal me.
After two weeks and I still had the pain, I asked a nurse friend what to do about back pain
and she said read Dr. Sarno's Healing Back Pain. I did and it wasn't overnight, but believing
100 percent in TMS causing my pain made it go away.
So yes, I believe most of us can heal without seeing a doctor.
Most of them just believe in giving pills or having surgery.
They don't make a dime by recommending TMS.
Most doctors I have dealt with are the used car salesmen/repairmen of medicine. haha
If you haven't yet, I urge you to start the Structured Education Program, free on the subforum
of this wiki. It leads to TMS healing.
