    Hi Forest, I watched your success story video on YouTube and was curious about a few things. While experiencing your RSI symptoms, did you also experience general hand weakness and clumsiness in addition to the cramping? Were you ever diagnosed as having Carpal Tunnel (with or without an EMG)? Also, how are your symptoms these days?

    Nope, not CT. Only TOS, and not much nerve involvement. I did have some hand clumsiness and weakness. Always good to work with a TMS doc, though, as I can only speak to my own experiences. My symptoms are good these days. If I type a lot, they are sore, but I ignore it and it doesn't affect my life.

    Pt 3: Perhaps some users wouldn't mind lending out their book as long as the borrower pays "to" and "return" shipping costs. What do you think?

    Pt 2: Perhaps another user owns the book Healing Back Pain, or "The Presence Process: A Journey Into Present Moment Awareness" by Michael Brown and wants to ship me their copy temporarily to read. Shipping soft cover books via USPS is very easy and affordable. Users can reach an agreement on paying for shipping costs.

    Pt 1: Hi Forest. I wanted to suggest we start a "Book Club" thread where users can state the TMS books they own (and have already read) and agree to ship the books to other members around the country while that user sends a copy of their book to the first user. For example, I own and read The Mindbody Prescription and The Divided Mind by Sarno. I am happy to send these to another user who would like to read them.

    Hello Forest. I am having some issue with logging in. I can log into the forum (it will pre-populate my username and password), but if I navigate away to other pages, it shows me as not logged in. When I click on "log in" again, it doesn't pre-populate my username and password, as it does on the forum page.

    Hi, thanks for creating this community. I could already run and I got so much worse from one day to next that I did not think it was even possible. I'll go to the success stories. page crying.

    Thanks for putting together the wiki as well as sharing your story.

    When I read about how you delayed dating and had to qualify the jobs you worked at based on managing your RSI I started crying because I've been there. The worst feeling during that period is seeing how the RSI progressively would get worse. It makes life so much harder to enjoy

    I hear you. It's hard to understand how it narrows your life and the fear that that causes unless you've been there.

    Forest, you say that you just ignore the symptoms and they don't bother you. Do the symptoms actually go away with this TMS healing or is it just a way to ignore it?

    Heya, diver, they generally go away, though sometimes it takes a while. Of course, if I focus on something else, the time inbetween is better.

    Forest, how did you manage to focus on something else when the typing gets progressively harder and harder as the cramping/pain increases? Any suggestions?
