| Interesting article. The word "inflammation" really grabbed my attention. I've been battling with lung and sinus inflammation and postnasal drip for over three years and been stuck on Prednisone for a year and a half. I was convinced TMS caused these symptoms, but unlike my physical pains which went away after following Dr. Sarno's program, this inflammation has shown little response to all the reading, mind-searching and stress-reducing I've been doing. I've had chronic anxiety most of my adult life, so now I understand better that it might have caused my autoimmune system to go out of whack. I also realize that the approach to resolving this stress-induced inflammation might be different from the approach to the typical TMS pain. |

Dr. Z,
These articles are great, but they are lacking in what we all want to know..what do they suggest as the remedy? I know the TMS approach but the stress approach is a bit different.

Whoaday,
Great question....and if I had the answer, I would probably win a Nobel Prize :) :) :)
I think the key for all of us - TMS or not - is to monitor our stress levels and make sure we are doing all we can to live a life that is as fulfilling and meaningful as possible, with some sense of control.
Not an easy thing to do in today's world....
Kindly,

Thanks Dr. Z. for this information.
I know that all my issues are stess related. They all started with massive amounts of stress: hypoglycemia (probably due to adrenal issues), anxiety (self explanatory), and my aching/tingling feet/legs. I am working hard on this last one, as I believe it is TMS. I still have a lot to learn, and work on. But I have hope to return to be my old laid back self.
Thanks for supporting this forum. Your input is very valuable!
