I've literally had neck tightness/spasms since early Nov. that suddenly Tuesday shifted into my stomach area (tightness, "flippy" feeling, nervousness) that while I was having the neck issues I couldn't "will" those symptoms to my stomach. Now, the neck tightness is gone and as an experiment, I...

Thanks and I'm glad I found this forum. That's really sage advice, Plum. I have the binaural beats, but what guided visualization do you listen to, if I may ask? Yeah, it's my favorite Jimi Hendrix album and possibly my favorite album ever, even though that could be a very long list.

but since I've never seen a therapist, are they allowed to do strictly phone sessions? I haven't had any luck finding a TMS-specialist in my area and would really like to start some therapy with someone trained in TMS. I'm having some difficulty wrapping my head around all of these different...

............reading your book and man, gotta' say it's outstanding. Well-written with a good mix of humor. But, it has heightened my symptoms fiercely in the past 3 days since I bought it. I know that's a good deal to address the issues, but yesterday I felt like I was swooning all day. My...

Sorry Steve. As a University of Missouri grad, I need MSU to win. I'll be pulling for Walt's boys!

Thanks all and especially for the encouragement. I definitely know my anxiety-related stuff is emotional and have started the journey. I've made an appointment with an ENT for the ear thing. I've NEVER been one to go to the doctor, but this is more than ringing. Same thing my dad has had for...

Recently discovered TMS. 44 years old and have been fighting anxiety for years. Myriad of symptoms that "move around." Most common are ectopic heartbeats, which will go away and then I'll suffer upper back/neck tightness. About twice a year I'll get migraine auras but no headache. Never really...
