I don't know of specific individuals who have found relief with MS from a tms oriented approach. MS is an auto immune disorder. In theory, the TMS model could/should help auto immune conditions. However, I suggest that patients begin with conventional medical care for MS and then add to that a mindbody awareness, introspection, journaling, therapy, etc. -- It is important to recognize that no information on this wiki can be considered a specific medical diagnosis, medical treatment, or medical advice.
