Although now that I'm rereading, yours seems to have cleared up. I know there was another guy on here struggling with this chronically. I must have mistaken his post for yours. I will try to direct this info to him.

Also, I began feeling relief after combining Kundalini yoga with TMS practices. I feel like epididymitis is related to prostatitis, which is known even to the mainstream medical community to often be "stress" or "emotion" related. Kundalini focuses on the bottom of your spine area, and by...

The pain has been increasing lately, from intermittent mild discomfort to moderate, constant arm pains. However, I know I'm still a lot better off than many, so that gives me some encouragement.

Mine were drug addicts and physically fought all the time. My father is back in jail and will probably receive life in prison--I've spent so much time trying to forget all that happened that it seems almost counterproductive to pick that particular scab. I know that often it is not necessary...

I once read something where a doctor said resolving epididymitis is a "slow, smoldering process" and mine is definitely fading. I hurt less and less each day and I think I"ll be all the way better soon, so I'm really grateful. Check out this blog this guy wrote--he starts out super-hopeless...

Thanks for replying, also, armchairlinguist. The thing is, 95% of the time the pain is very mild or just uncomfortable. It's just the mystery and the feeling of powerlessness that really gives me the most trouble. I think I'm going to go to a new neuro and get a final confirmation that I am...

Thanks Debra and Walt. Having encouragement from others is very important. I know we can beat this.

Thanks, Lizzy. It's so hard to ignore that voice! My symptoms started after I took a hard knock to the head (several)--the brain is so mysterious that I always wonder if something is wrong in there, even though my tests and 4 doctors agree that I am structurally sound. My last doc (a general...

I'm not sure what tests to get after my CTscan and MRI--I think I will request an EMG also. Having that reassurance is soo important for accepting the TMS diagnosis and I think it will make our efforts more effective.

Thanks, Walt. I'm on Day 3 and looking forward to seeing what it brings.

Greetings, James59. I've had two episodes where my symptoms were 95% gone for a week or so, then a stressful episode brought them back on. I also noticed that when I start to feel better for a few days, I begin to journal less, read less, and generally declare victory over TMS. So now I am...

Thanks for the input. I believe the headache was definitely PCS--the other stuff is very suspicious, though. I assume by 'suspicious' you mean these sound like TMS symptoms. I have searched online many hours trying to find out if head injuries can cause muscle pain--so far I haven't found any...

Thanks guys. I believe I went the TMS route faster than most--as in, most people come to it as a last effort rather than a first. I have had two brief periods where I felt better, and then a stressful episode brought the symptoms back almost immediately. I'm starting the SEP--even though I...

Okay, so even though this is my "Day 1" I came to follow Sarno and TMS treatment rather quickly--probably more quickly than most. 5 months ago, during an emotional meltdown, I punched myself in the head. Yes, it's true. It's something I've done maybe once a year since I was 18 or so. When...
