Do you have pain or other symptoms that might not be entirely caused by physical problems in your body? Do you often feel worse when you are unhappy, stressed or anxious? Are you willing to consider solutions that involve thinking “outside the box?” If so, we've been there, and we can help.
This website is written by a group of people who suffered from terrible pain (and other symptoms) until they discovered ideas first popularized by John E. Sarno, MD. These ideas have transformed our lives and we hope that they will transform yours as well.

Overcame back pain using the TMS approach
Sometime in 2007, I took a fall out running on the game preserve near my house. About three days later, while out hiking, I started to notice a little stinging in my sciatic nerve, which spread day by day until it enveloped my whole left side. I was in such intense pain I couldn't stand up, sit down or put on my socks. Well, about a year into conventional PT I discovered Healing Back Pain by Dr. John E. Sarno. In the three years since then, I have gradually come back from complete immobility to a full range of physical activities again. Read the full success story

About Us
We’ve been there. We can help.
The PPD/TMS Peer Network (PTPN) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2009. We seek to relieve suffering from Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) by raising awareness, providing information based on scientific evidence, facilitating expression of a wide variety of perspectives, and giving individual support to people with TMS. Like many others, we suffered from terrible pain and other symptoms for many years before learning about this approach. All of the members of our organization suffered from TMS at some point in their lives, and the majority of these members consider themselves to have recovered from chronic pain and experience little to no pain.
