The Tension Myositis Syndrome Wiki

This website is written by a group of people who suffered from terrible pain (and other symptoms) until they discovered ideas first popularized by John Sarno, MD. These ideas have transformed our lives and we hope that they will transform yours as well.

Best wishes, Enrique.Pasos, ForestForTrees, HilaryN, MizLoriNJ, MatthewNJ, Pandamonium, Peg, TMSAndrew,
& the other editors of the wiki

In order to provide you with better service the wiki's Executive Council has been busy developing a new and more reliable website. We are pleased to announce that a beta version of the new site is now active and ready for your use. If you cannot access tmswiki.org, much of our information is available at http://www.tmswiki.org. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this transition has caused. Feel free to bookmark and use the new site in the case of any service outages on this site.

Sincerely,
The Executive Council of the PPD/TMS Peer Network, sponsor of the TMS Wiki
