    I saw the psychotherapist for the first time and she believes my neuropathy or paresthesias are definitely TMS because it will be on my right thigh, then go to the left thigh, go to my hands, go to my feet, go to my ears, go to my lips, etc. Then it has periods where it just totally vanishes and I don't have any neuropathy. I don't have diabetes (recent labs) and my surgery that I had on my kidney would not involve all the sensory nerves of my body. The therapist at this point believes that my urological procedures was the massive trigger or cause for my SFN like symptoms which is TMS. I also have twitches in my glutes and perineum which is TMS, too. I acknowledged to my therapist that I have a frustration, anxiety, and somewhat of a fear about my sensations so I haven't been wanting to do much other than work. I would like to go to the Air Force Museum in Dayton, for instance, but my fear has me reluctant to go. I promised my kids I would go by summer's end and I want to make it happen! My first official session will be July 14th. She is a TMS therapist. I read one of Sarno's book and I get the basic message now. I will go over it some more.

    I decided to write a journal entry as well. I didn't think I believed in that mumbo jumbo. I'm giving it a shot and I made sure I wrote my emotions down I'm experiencing! I then went outside and cried. Honestly, I have cried almost every day since November but this cry was different. It was an anger cry towards my TMS.
