Although I am pretty sure my symptoms (lower back pain, herniated disk l4-l5 and l-5 S1) are TMS because of my personality and stress factors, I would still like to get an official diagnosis. I live in Houston, where we have lots of medical dr's but no TMS dr's or therapists. Where would you recommend I go for an official diagnosis? Thanks!

How far is Fort Worth from you? You can call it a vacation:
John Sklar, MD (Physician)
Dr. John Sklar practices Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation in Fort Worth, Texas. He has been treating TMS for 20 years. Here he reviews "The Presence Process" by Michael Brown. "In it is a very good description of the cause/source of our unconscious conflicts (the one's that result in TMS). Then a 10 week process is described which will begin to allow the unconscious material to be integrated/digested. I believe that it describes the single best TMS treatment protocol on the planet (and I am not one to throw about such words lightly). At any rate you should be aware of this material. I have showed it to DR. Sarno who was initially quite skeptical (after I described it to him) but later was quite impressed. He believes it is great description of the source of repressed emotions (one of "the best" that he has seen)." (Source)
