Tension Myositis Syndrome: What helped you?

How to find guidance / a counselor

I'm a resident of rural Virginia and have had constant painful headaches / facial pain since June 2014. I have come to understand that it is psychosomatic and probably Tension Myositis Syndrome and I've identified the source of the tension. I'm reading the books of John Sarno MD and I want to get connected with a knowledgable specialist who understands this condition. How do I find such a person? Does Mayo Clinic have such people on staff who I can chat with or have a telemedicine session with? WBC

Hi @wbc. Because you mention tension myositis syndrome and Dr. Sarno, I moved your question to this existing discussion:
- Tension Myositis Syndrome: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/tms-1/

I did this so you can read previous helpful posts and connect easily with fellow members like @janeym @callalloo @jan33 @maryesparkle @angieleigh @berniep and @rwinney.

@westcom also mentions this video by Mayo Clinic's Dr. Christopher Sletten talking about Central Sensitization and the Pain Rehab Center at Mayo Clinic.


@wbc, you ask about finding a counselor or guidance. I'm sure other members will offer suggestions. Should you wish to seek help from Mayo Clinic or consider its Pain Rehab program, you can start by inquiring here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
