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.- TMS recovery from sciatica: "Our acceptance of the diagnosis and our work to understand the causes of our pain is what gets us better. When I got better I didn't rely on doctors, but instead took it upon myself to do the work necessary. Getting better was in my hands."
- John Sarno’s TMS and Michael Brown’s Presence Process: "I'm on week 4 and have so far found the PP very interesting. One side effect is that I've realized that nearly everything I do is some form of distraction. For example I read technology news every day and I could probably be doing something that gets me a little more in touch with my emotions."
- Waking up with lower back tension: "Even without seeing a TMS specialist, I was able to overcome a lot of my back pain by just ignoring it, and doing my regular exercises, thanks to accepting Sarno's explanation (from reading Healing Back Pain) that it is mostly psychological."
- Why do some people not get on with Dr Sarno’s method?: "It has occurred to me that the usual Sarno method, the approach that has helped so many people, just may be counter-productive for this ‘tail' of people who don't make progress because of the very personality traits that Dr Sarno has identified as typifying TMS sufferers!"
- TMS or Truly a bulging disk?: "I am at wits end because nothing is working. I have had an MRI and it revealed a slightly bulging disk at L5-S1 that "may or may not be the root of my pain". I have all the symptoms of a bulging disk, but I am wondering now if I have TMS."
