Hi Alan
I am just on 7 months of TMS healing.... It has been quite the journey and learning curve... I feel like I have been sitting at the 90/95% healed stop for the last few months.... unable to quite feel comfortable enough or confident enough to say YES I'm done! I know I CAN be "done" as I HAVE been on numerous occasions and it's hilarious and maddening that when I AM pain free and not thinking about my body I will catch myself and think "Hey.. I'm free..."

but my litle old friend FEAR pops up and starts with the
"will this last? can you trust this feeling? "please dont gooooooooooo Is it for real? etc etc

and sure enough my ol mate pain reappears.... JUST enough to keep me "alert"

Your posts have been AWESOME in lifting this lingering fear.... It is EXACTLY how I have been living... ie with just a BIT.. but with enough FEAR to keep me looking for danger.... it was a lightbulb moment... and now I can say to my muscl es... what you feel is NORmal but my brain wants me to be scared so it's telling you to be on alert for danger... well forGET about it muscles.... ok... Im turning the danger switch to OFF "

and I imagine a big old flip switch with DANGER written in red all over it and I see myself flick it off "

I cycle up a hill to work each day and as I climb I imagine the hill is TMS and it's a slow climb up.. but with a low gear and some pedal power and consistently moving forward I get to the top.......... it feels great.... You have a great way of explaining things... thank you from Australia
