[size=1][green]Updated: February 7, 2007[/green][/size=1] [Dave, would you consider making this post "sticky" at the top of the forum?] Some are specfic to the TMSHelp Forum and others are standard medical terms. These are listed to help the new arrivals come up to speed on the jargon. Be sure to see your doctor to rule out serious illness. Note that Dr. Sarno dismisses many of the listed medical conditions in his TMS diagnosis, you should consult his books for complete details.
