Hi @janeym, Are you referring to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS)? Because the majority of people on here are patients just like you, it's important to spell out initials and/or acronyms so other members can better understand the nature of the conversation and engage with you! 🙂

Are you having chronic back pain? Have you had a chance to read the book?

Thank you, @amandaa
Tension Myositis Syndrome, aka Tension Myoneural Syndrome per Dr. Sarno.
I had back surgery 18 months ago but still have spasms. I am a patient of Toronto General Hospital's pain clinic. I am part way through the book on the recommendation of my current therapist.
I hope that helps!

Hi@amandaa, I have had constant headaches for nearly 9 years (this June). I believe I have Tension Myositis Syndrome for which there seems to be NO medical cure. I believe I've tried nearly all of them. You mention Transcrainal magnetic Stimulation, which as I understand is believed to stimulate the creation of dopamine and other make-you-feel-good neurotransmitters. Are you aware of whether that type of therapy (the magnetic stimulation) might help with Tension Myositis syndrome? I am considering that now and would like any input you (or others) may have.
Thanks.
