Both massive pieces of progress! It happened like that for me also, the upper ends of the pain scale were removed, even though I still had consistent symptoms - I'm excited for you that it's following a similar path for you :)

Yes and I think this is a great shift! Making the worst case concrete and then being able to compare what actually happened to it (which 99% of the time isn't as bad as what our minds speculate) - then that thought of "huh, that wasn't as bad as I thought" can lead to "what other things might I...

That's good for TMS purposes! If it's supposedly resolved and it wasn't that visible to begin with, I wouldn't be blaming it on the pain - you said above that it was unknown if it would ever resolve, but just then you said it has resolved according to the doctor, I'd be taking the latter :)

As Rabscuttle said, if this is possible then I am curious as to how you think it can be caused by the neuroma? It's not as if the neuroma disappears for a few days and then comes back - very small periods of no pain could be incidental (like 5 minutes here and there when distracted), but a few...

Sounds like it could definitely be TMS in the absence of an active virus or an infection, but I'd keep monitoring it, not out of fear but just due diligence - the great thing is now you know about TMS, it has to be something, and whatever it is I doubt it's serious - but always good to get it...

So important and something I've been working on! I think it goes with the idea also of sometimes you have to make the leap and you'll never feel 100% ready :)

Correct - weakness, reflexes and loss of sensation from what I've read (I'm not a neurologist mind you) - you can have numbness and it still be TMS.

Hi guys, Going through this myself (more for educational purposes) and I fully agree with Dr Bob Evans and what he said in response to the question "To what extent is it necessary for a person to change who they are in order to overcome TMS?". This is such a common question and whilst in a...

Congratulations! It makes complete sense what you said about how this can bring up certain feelings linked to symptoms - you're doing so well to process it all :)

I'm sorry for your loss 😞 I know how difficult it is to lose pets.

Sounds like it for sure! :)

Yep to add onto this, if you're essentially asking is it possible for it to still be TMS despite hurting with mechanical movement consistently, absolutely yes - my TMS groin pain hurt every time I walked and sat for 6 years - those movements no longer trigger it whatsoever :)

I get it sometimes, just not enough to bother me. Given the sporadic nature, I would be comfortable putting it down to TMS (although it doesn't bother me enough to warrant investigation). Spot on :)

That's good, the purpose of writing down your emotions to me are twofold. One to let them out and express them, but also (and they overlap) it's practice around accepting all of your emotions without guilt. You're entitled to be angry and sad (as examples) and they don't need justification...

Second this - think psychologically and keep showing up for yourself emotionally, that's the most important thing. Your test is sound though, I would also say that if all is clear medically then is swinging your arms side to side (I assume with no extra weight) really that vigorous? That...
