Great post Chrissi. Totally agree on the part about the autonomic nervous system. Once it is overloaded the body goes crazy. We don't have much use for that type of state of mind now that we have evolved. However, our bodies still react as if it was 5k years ago in the jungle.

I thought it was a good read and believe it. He talks about the reservoir of rage and the tipping point. How many people here have had twitching or parathesia come on in a stressful situation. I know I have. It doesn't happen all at once, but rather a tipping point you reach where the...

i've seen several posts recently referencing this book and Sarno's TMS. I'd like to ask opinions and experiences with this subject. I read this book last summer. I've had this lovely syndrome for 19 plus months now. Personally, I think there is a ton of credibility to this theory. When i...

I started very slowly. I went to physical therapy where they taught me flexability and strengthening exercises. I started on the stationary bike. Then i went to the eliptical machine. After a couple of months, i tried running again. it took a while but now i am back to my old routine. I...

My story is very similar to your story. I started having only sensory symptoms in July 2011. I was an avid runner for 17 years every day. Twitches started in September. Had EMGs, every blood test you mentioned, etc over months. I couldn't run anymore and sometimes thought i couldn't walk...

Can you do the questionnaire without submitting medical records and count for study?

In the end, each of our experiences leads us to our own conclusions. In my 17 month journey, I have watched my symptoms wax and wane, come and go, and literally move around within the same hour. I'm not advocating anyone believe Sarnos theory, only elaborating on it. BFS is a personal journey...

Sarno's TMS (tension myositis syndrome) is not just back pain. That is how it started but it encompasses symptoms that move around and don't have any organic origin that can be identified. He believes CTS, Fibro, most back pain, CFS and GERD are all psycho somatic in nature. I have read his...

Twitchy Doc,From what i have gleaned over time, it seems like you have suffered from your BFS for 5 years? What is your neurologist opinion of your condition? In regard to the Mayo study, i thought the study was of 120 Mayo patients diagnosed with BFS. If so, why would someone go to Mayo if...

BFSB,I think you are taking Mario's post the wrong way. He wasn't mocking or attacking you. He is trying to help you through his experience. I'm not attacking you either, so no need to go down that road. I'm just trying to clear up the situation with Mario. At the end of the day, we all...

Jon, glad you finally saw a neurologist. What in the end did he say about your symptoms? Did he say anxiety, bfs, etc? I think we've all had a broad spectrum of things in our time. I couldn't tell from your post if you felt like that was enough to move on.Timm

Would this imply slight oxygen deprivation by any chance?

I stumbled about 4 weeks ago when walking at work. Since then I have become increasingly paranoid about walking to the point it seems awkward. Has anyone else experienced this? I would seriously doubt it's weakness as I run daily, can balance on one foot with my eyes closed for a minute...

German, Good info. I believe in the TMS theory as there seems to be a correlation between stress, emotional pain or rage, and the like and symptoms onset and wax and wane and variability of location. I think the non-organic nature of BFS may be the reason some neuros don't really address the...
