My name is Andrew, I am now in my 30s and I am a former RSI sufferer.  After having the condition for over 3 years, I stumbled across the TMSHelp forum, and within days of following the recommendations there I began to see massive improvements in pain levels. I have now been free of RSI for over 4 years.

My RSI had got progressively worse to the extent where for the past year and a half I had been unable to do any typing without voice recognition software, had been unable to write with a pen for more than a couple of sentences, had been unable to play sport, go swimming or play the guitar.  I had been to see just about every possible medical practitioner, taken every possible medical test, followed every recommendation, and yet the symptoms had continued to worsen.  I could be in significant pain all day, and even started to get numbness and loss of grip strength.  It got to the stage where I had to seriously consider giving up my career as I was unable to do my job properly.

And now?  Well, within a month of following Dr Sarno’s recommendations I was back to 80-90 % full fitness.  I was playing sport, playing guitar, writing and typing.  There was still some residual pain but nothing like it had been previously.  A few months on and RSI no longer affects my life at all.  If I type for prolonged periods I get mild tingling – but that’s it!  I have my life back.  That’s why I’ve put together this website.  I have absolutely no financial interest, just a desire to spread the word and hopefully help others living with chronic pain.
