hiya!
i've been meaning to do this for a while, but have finally got round to it....
my own TMS website!
http://members.multimania.co.uk/tmsrecovery/index.html
It's basically a collection of my own stuff and stuff from TMShelp/TMS wiki....but hopefully should provide an additional way for people to find out about TMS....
it's currently up on a free-web hosting site, but that's only temporary. I'll buy a decent domain name and web hosting without adverts. In the meantime, what do people think? Any comments? Suggestions? I'd like to include some sort of comment function, but i haven't worked out how yet....
have a great new year!

updated it a bit....
i'd appreciate comments! It's a bit crap with all the stupid floating ads at the moment....but them aside....
and any ideas for domain names?
something with tms in? Like tms-success.com
something general? chronicpainrecovery.com
something about specific conditions? RSI-backpain-relief.com

Thanks for creating webpage. Do not forgot to connect to TMS Wiki so that all concerned people can access it.
I will suggest domain name as :
beating-rsi.com or
defeating-rsi.com or
rsi-victory.com
rsi-success.com
rsi-war.com
mastering-rsi.com
rsi-mastery.com
Thanks and Regards,
sachin

thanks for the reply, and some good suggestions for the website name, is it best to concentrate on RSI or keep it more general? I'm not really sure....
backpain-RSI-recovery ?
chronicpainrecovery ?
myRSIhomepage ?
conquering-TMS ? |

Hi Gibbon. Congratulations on your TMS website. I think it is excellent.
You have done us a great service. The more access to information about TMS the better. Having good TMS sites can not only help spread the word and give more people the ability to help themselves but it also gives people hope that there is a way out of their pain.
Accessibility of good information is important at this juncture. There aren't enough TMS savvy doctors out there yet so people who are trying to learn more about this syndrome need as much help as possible.
Looking at your site I would suggest you use TMS rather than rsi. Rsi seems limiting.
How about something like www.tensionmyositis.com
A very happy & pain free 2010 to everyone.
Good Luck & Good Health

hiya
thanks for your support! I've added a "medical practioners" bit which lists about 20 doctors with their profiles...hopefully to give a bit more gravitas to the theory, and also to help people find someone ammenable to the TMS concept.
I like www.tensionmyositis.com it is available.... |

Thanks for the mention of the wiki, patils! 
Gibbon and I chatted and since I have a bunch of extra space on my server, I'm going to be hosting his new website for him. Eventually, he'll get his own domain name, but for now, you can check out the website at http://andrew.tmswiki.net/ , without any ads or security warnings from Firefox (the Firefox browser gave security warnings when you visited his last domain).
In terms of domain name, I think of Pandamonium09, whose life changed forever when she did a Google search for "annular fissure" (I think that that was it) one day and found a TMS website. She had never heard of TMS, but what she read made sense, and you can read the rest of her success story for her amazing recovery:
http://www.tmshelp.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5396
To me, that is the holy grail for a TMS website: to reach someone who has never heard of TMS and is completely stuck in the trap of thinking physically that we've all been through. In comparison, for a general site like yours, attracting people who are specifically searching for "tension myositis" seems less valuable. Such people have probably already read a book by Dr. Sarno, and probably believed what they read.
It will be a long time before any TMS web sites will rank very highly in Google search results, but if you can put a keyword in the domain name, that counts an awful lot in google searches. If you have the words, "back" and "pain" in your domain name, Google *knows* that there is a very good chance that your web page would be more relevant for someone searching for "back pain" than a page that only had the terms in the text. It can be the factor that pushes your domain over the top.
In terms of which keywords are most heavily searched for, "back pain" wins by a long shot. You can get details in this thread.

Hi Andrew
I've just been on your website - it's amazing! I have only just joined this forum and had not heard of TMS until 2 days ago. I wanted a concise description of TMS and that is exactly what you have done on your site. It's so easy to use and as someone who has concentration probelms I found it very easy to use and I may be able to use these TMS principles to help with my own problems. I have M.E. Fibromyalgia and 2 prolapsed discs. For some time I have thought "the lack of oxygen" is playing a part in my conditions. So thanks for putting the site together and for the useful information - well done you, especially considering you couldn't type at one point!!!!

thanks Sian - and good luck with using TMS techniques for your symptoms! If you want any advice/help feel free to email me....
It's almost unbelievable to me that I've gone from not being able to write anything without voice-rec software to being able to sit at a computer for several (many several!) hours doing web design....
