                       I have suffered from foot pain & joint pain for several years now.  I have recently read The Divided Mind, and am interested in a consultation with a specialist in psychosomatic medicine.  I live in southeastern Michigan.  Does anyone know of a way to obtain references for my area.[:)

                       Hi-- there are at lest two Dr.s in Michigan. Check this resource for details:
  http://www.tarpityoga.com/directory.html
  You might also want to do a search on this site for 'plantar fasciitis' (or maybe just "plantar," since fasciitis gets spelled a lot of different ways), as I'm sure its been discussed in several different threads. I've had it, and I now know that it was just a TMS symptom. I learned this, of course, after I tried a whole slew of physcial remedies, none of which worked.
  good luck! ss |

                       I was playing soccer with my grandson (in cheap sneakers) when I felt a severe pain in my heel.
  My doctor said it was plantar fasciitis.  The pain lasted for almost a year.
  Several postings, plus Dr. Sarno, have clearly indicated that it is TMS.  I wish that I had known.

                       Ditto to the other replies.  I had a spell of plantar fascitis way back when, before I'd heard of TMS.  I didn't worry about it much because I never read any really dire warnings about what could happen if it was left "untreated."  (Unlike the achilles thing I've battled with). I just bulled through it and came out fine.
