    Recovery from sciatica (hip, back and leg pain), tennis elbow, chronic fatigue, and much more.

    --- Summary --- What's greater than the gift of health? I went from being a person who felt like there was something wrong with their body ... to a healthy, normal person (whatever normal is). The mind-body treatment pioneered by Dr. John Sarno and carried on by others has transformed my...

    Hi, what's your opinion about THE GUPTA PROGRAMME ? https://www.guptaprogramme.com

    This makes so much sense! Please read, it validates TMS

    The pieces of the puzzle are fitting together, big-time! It’s a litle long, but a valuable read that explains when and how FM and CFS is triggered, (Trauma), how the sympathetic nervous system gets ramped up and put on hyperdrive, which then sets up TMS in adulthood. Here’s some excerpts I...

    Day 1 Starting out

    Hello, Day 1 suggested starting a thread, so Ill give it a go. My dominant problem is CFS which started about 4 years out of the blue and for no apparent reason. I was very active before that.

    No More Repressed Emotions But Still Not Improving!

    A quandary. I really feel I have few repressed emotions left! I have been working on this stuff for years and years and continue with this ‘digging’, plus journaling current stressors. Yet still I have pain. Neither is it moving around since I started the SEP. I am really quite stumped...

    Job Fear & Outcome Independence

    I'm struggling with a decision, and I'd love insight from you all. Backstory: I came down with CFS (extreme fatigue) symptoms in March, and I ultimately had to quit working and move in with my parents in June, as I could barely get around the house. Now, almost 3 months later, I'm feeling...

    Hi everyone! So my TMS has been Chronic Fatigue Syndrome-like symptoms -- unrelenting fatigue all day, insomnia, GI problems, dizziness upon standing up, exercise intolerance, poor circulation to my extremities, etc. I've had all the medical tests and all is completely normal, which leads me to...

    I reclaimed my life

    This is my first post here, but I hope this does not discourage anyone from finding hope in my story. First, I'll tell you about me. I am a 23 years old girl who lived an ordinary life, my parents always loved me, but they always found it difficult to be emotionally close and physically...

    How to break out of this cycle?

    Hi, I've made a lot of progress with my physical pains and even my chronic fatigue to some degree. Something I keep getting stuck on is my frequent 'crashes'. One of my biggest symptoms is sensitivity to sound, I also have some damage to my ear canals so they are larger now which I think keeps...

    24/7 symptoms + feeling overwhelmed: Coping strategies?

    My symptoms (buzzing, stabbing, stinging, tingling, twitching in my feet and legs) occur every minute of the day. They sometimes become so severe that I start to get headaches, brain fog, burning head/chest, and an inability to focus for long periods of time. I've been practicing mindfulness...

    Stuck and feeling down.

    I'm on day 29 of the SEP and have been reading about TMS prior to that so getting close to a month and a half. My pain this week has been worse. I'm feeling really tired of it and scared that it won't go away. Both of my shoulders hurt and my right wrist hurts. My hips are driving me crazy with...

    Alex B. Do I need to see a doctor?

    Hi, I just read about TMS a couple weeks ago. I'm getting stuck on one thing right now. Is it important that I get diagnosed by a medical doctor? I have no doubt that there is nothing physically wrong with me and that it all stems from TMS but I keep reading about how I should get diagnosed...

    Day 1 CFS for 27 years. Working this program that works.

    Since this has worked for others, this will work for me too. Nearly my entire adulthood has me sick with CFS. Though I never lay down to die. I have hope that working through this course will be the answer for me. Day 1 said to make a post and so I did.

    Originally posted by Dr. Schubiner on March 21, 2011 This blog was written by a friend and writer, Jared Egol. He writes eloquently about the patient’s history as “story” and the concept of “narrative medicine,” i.e. seeing the patient’s story as critical to healing. When the person with...
