    weakened sphincter. actually, it hasn't been well studied. some docs don't even think it is real. people recover from this....and i have known some...so it isn't a permanent condition. i believe it can be handled by some diet changes ( even with some strictly tms issues if one has a poor diet for instance, changes there will certainly help) and reducing stress. i am treating it as tms. it isn't completely gone but is considerably better.

    I remember when I had so much back pain I couldn't even work and a doctor told me my pain was a structural problem. My l4 and l5 were touching. I even had an MRI picture to prove it. Thankfully after years of dealing with back pain a friend at work told me about Dr Sarno's work and I have not looked back since.

    Hi Karim & everyone else. Thank you all for sharing. I am in a TMS LPR nightmare at the minute. Its nearly been a year since I started to develop a dry cough. Now I have irritation in my airways with every out breath, like a menthol type feeling, constant throat clearing and burping, even after water. I went to see an ENT who put me on meds and a diet. Nothing has worked and I have a camera going to down my throat to check it out next week as they said my throat was very inflamed and red at the first examination.

    I had back pain for years and finally got on top of it with TMS. Now I have this and of of course am freaking out about cancer. I believe 90% it's TMS but that 10% is enough to cause horrible symptoms and mental anguish. It's so draining. The funny thing is I have no symptoms at night which I think says a lot. If it was structural and something serious I'm guessing I would be getting symptoms during the night.

    Karim how are you doing and maybe we should help each other. Sounds like we have had similar journeys.

    Cheers

    Maz

    I have LPR. A mind-body doctor explained to me that the sphincter is influenced psychologically: TMS causes relax it and not close properly.
