I am on every page of the Mindbody Prescription. 28 years of back pain, the whole works. I read MBP and got somewhat better. I saw Dr. Sarno 1 year later and I got better some more. In 2005 I had vertigo and Dr. Sarno sent me to Dr. Bob Evans for counseling. This accelerated the process. But it is a journey (approximately one life time) and I am still on it.

Before I knew about TMS I spent 10 years in severe and debilitating back pain and couldn’t walk more than about 100 yards without being in agony. After reading Healing Back Pain I finally had hope and within 6 months I was walking more and more without pain.

I overcame severe RSI in my hands and lifelong pains including back, neck, and plantar faciitis, to name a few. As a result, I have been able to rediscover my childhood love of sport and exercise which I had abandoned so many years ago. Here’s a photo of me competing in an Ironman race in 2011, something which I would have considered impossible just a handful of years ago.

When I first read the Mindbody Prescription my visual migraines disappeared straight away. However the real reason I was reading the book was because of my RSI. Previously the pain I got from typing tended to happen AFTERWARDS. But I noticed a change: I was getting pain DURING the typing. I would tell myself it was TMS, and it would be gone by the next day.
