Your Pain is real- Do you have Mind Body Syndrome or TMS
July 14th, 2009 | 
Author: 
Your body is producing pain because it’s manifesting unresolved stress, possibly from your childhood, or from stressful events in your adulthood, or from your present circumstances, and as a result of your personality traits (which affects how you respond to stress and how much pressure you tend to put upon yourself). http://www.yourpainisreal.com
Your mind has twisted your body into pain as a way to avoid some of the emotions that are inside you. If you haven’t been helped by traditional or alternative medical care, the diagnosis may be the Mind Body Syndrome and most people have some form of it.
But you don’t have to live the rest of your life with this pain. In fact, if you begin to understand this syndrome and recognize what causes it, you’ve taken a powerful first step.
And the rest of the steps, though they require wholehearted commitment, are not difficult.
You may be able to rid yourself of the pain, without drugs, without medical treatments (either conventional or alternative), without psychotherapy. Results may occur within 3-4 weeks, even though you may have been suffering for months or years. You don’t have to go back and figure out all your unresolved emotional issues either.

Great question and …
Great question and great summary of how to decide if you suffer from TMS
Doodles
What is the name of …
What is the name of this doctor’s website?
Read Dr. John …
Read Dr. John Sarno’s books “The Mindbody Prescription,” “Healing Back Pain,” or “The Divided Mind.” Over 500,000 people have been able to reduce their own TMS symptoms by reading the books alone!! Relief after so many years!
I think that …
I think that placing fibromyalgia in the catagory of mind syndrome is just plain irresponsible as a medical professional. Just because doctors are misinformed or lack the education to find out what it really is all about they want to classify this as a mind syndrome or condition. I think that alternative therapy is good but not a cure for these things.
I was diagnosed …
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and lactose intolerance and was told it more than likely had to do with my ability to metabolize Vitamin D and Vitamin C not something tragic that happened in the past. What happens is that the bones thin and swell causing the bones to reach the nerve beds in your skin causing extreme pain. Again I believe its irresponsible for medical professionals as well as others to make people feel like they have some underlying mental condition. Get educated!!!
I’m sorry, but …
I’m sorry, but there is no evidence in the medical literature that Vitamin C has anything to do with fibromyalgia. Vitamin D deficiency can cause muscle aches and pains. Anyone with muscle aches and pains should have their Vitamin D level measured and if low, should take Vitamin D supplements. However, in our experience, supplementing Vitamin D rarely cures fibromyalgia.
We are doing …
We are doing research on a mind body approach to fibromyalgia and will publish our results in a scientific journal later this year. There are about 10 million people suffering with fibromyalgia pain in this country and many more around the world. The available medications and other treatments do not help the majority of people with this very real and very painful condition. Our approach shows great promise and we will continue to conduct research to try to show this efficacy.
FM is not a mental …
FM is not a mental condition, but the effects of how stress and the body interact. In order to figure out if childhood and adult stresses are related to a condition such as fibromyalgia, back pain, headaches or other related illnesses, I conduct a detailed history to see if we can connect the stresses to the onset of the illness. We are usually able to do this which helps us understand the connection between the mind and the body. Thanks for your response and I hope you get better soon. Dr. S
Actually, most of …
Actually, most of the so called medical explanations for pain are not based on any concrete evidence. RSI for example is not really a damaged tendon or muscle. It is a temporary change in blood flow.
It’s fairly easy to look up this information on public medical records on the internet.
I remember back …
I remember back pain so bad that I ended up selling my car (A honda accord) that I truly loved and buying a mini van. I would’ve been stuck “babying” my back and living in pain but then one day I saw the John Stossel piece with Dr. Sarno and it was like the light went on. Know the truth and the truth will set you free.
I’m a medical …
I’m a medical doctor w/ 5 crushed discs, history of cervical and thoracic fractures, and intermittent periods of fibromyalgia.
Wasted a lot of time, money & hope trying to get help from other physicians before realizing they all hadn’t a clue. All guesswork and theory, limited in their studies & thinking to the limiting predjudice of seeking a 1-size-fits-all explanation and/or treatment. It will never work.
