TMS Discussion ThreadsThe following is a list of links to some of the better discussions from our old forum. However, we encourage you tovisit our new foruminstead.- Consensus on physiology: I don't really care what the physiology is. All I know is that I've read enough stories to believe that Dr. Sarno's books (and presumably books by other authors) transform lives. It's just my personal belief and I might be wrong, but it is what I believe.
- Identifying a common name for mindbody syndromes: Personally, I think if psychosomatic had not gotten such a bad rap from the world of psychology all these years, and in the minds of the general public, it would be the best and most comprehensive word/diagnoses to use.
- Stiff lower back in the morning: It sounds like you accept the TMS diagnosis, and are definately doing the right thing by not fearing the pain and pushing on through. On the other hand, seeing a TMS doc for "free" sounds like a good opportunity.
- Can over masturbation cause RSI: I was wondering about this. I think masturbation apart from mouse clicks, boredom and internal rages could be one of the reasons for my RSI and TMS. Masturbation is a good stress reliever. What do you all think?
- Back pain: structural or TMS: I was having scary sciatica when I read Sarno's book, the few days after I felt great. Now, days 4 and 5 are kind of painful but without sciatica. I am going all out and doing all the things that are supposed to make pain worse, despite the fears of hurting myself.
