  • My Story

    SHORT VERSION: I have been fighting TMS (and winning sometimes) on and off for 30 years. I discovered Sarno in 2017 and had a quick recovery. But in 2020, I broke out in multiple symptoms. And in March 2024, I joined this life-changing forum.

    LONG VERSION:I have been fighting TMS on and off for 30 years. I have had insomnia, depression, IBS, foot pain, back pain, neck pain, severe panic attacks, leg numbness, neuropathy, burning legs, plantar fasciitis, leg weakness, allergies, asthma, persistent cough, numb and tingling hands, hands curling up (won’t open all the way, no gripping power), painful leg and stomach contractions, dizziness, electrical “buzzing” inside, sensitivities to things touching me, very cold feet, night terrors and balance issues.

    In 2017, I discovered Dr. Sarno and immediately embraced TMS. I studied it day and night and started journaling about my emotions and got rid of tingling hands at the time. During my other episodes, I just somehow ignored it, and it went away eventually or diminished enough to live with it.

    Flash forward to 2020. During the pandemic, I was extremely terrified, and under a great deal of stress on many levels. I began getting many new symptoms— plantar, foot pain, tingling, numbness, weakness, stiff knees, cramping hands, a feeling like strong hands are gripping my knees, or my hips.

      Still in a physical flare up. But my soul and spirit are growing by leaps and bounds.

      Facing off with abusers in my life, past and present, with newfound strength, is kicking up stress and symptoms. But for a good cause!

        I set boundaries with a coworker today and it felt fucking good. I'm there with you.

      When I post on this forum it is nailing down my truths. It is opening the doors in my mind. I’m changing. Thank you for listening!

      Today is the first day since I started in March that I can actually feel my body letting go of TMS. It’s very subtle. But it’s there!!!

      Laughing at symptoms—literally ridiculing them is helping. Also saying over and over: I’m ok right now. I’m living now. Nothing is wrong.

      Noticing that self pity and self absorption causes symptoms to flare. Not the other way around.

      Today I “walked” 25 minutes around the living room and kitchen and it was fun and I was surprisingly strong doing it. :)

      Kind of in a rut. Slowing things down if I can. I’m so obsessive. Agh!

        It's okay to slow down :)

      Had a great day today! Lounged around like a teen and played games on my phone and told myself life is awesome. Less pain!

      This is interesting! Woke up in really bad pain today. Played classic rock trivia with my husband for an hour. It subsided a lot. Ha!

      Symptoms up today. Meditated for an hour. They subsided a bit. I’m starting to think journaling and meditation are key for me.

      Tonight I did some volunteer work and I totally completely forgot about TMS. That was a great feeling!

      Got my hair done today! Walked the farthest I have walked in more than 6 months. My body tried to shut me down, but I laughed at it.

      Finally got out of the house! No longer house bound! Getting out most days.

      Yesterday I pictured only fun plans in my head all day, and it was a great day!

      New to the wiki, but not new to Dr. Sarno. Together we can make it.
