I find the emotions flow more freely when I journal verbally. When I use pen and paper it's more of a cerebral, cognitive experience and not helpful. And my hand gets tired.

Once you get into TMS work and begin connecting with others you will learn that TMS can be a cause for virtually any malady for which the structural has been ruled out. It might be helpful to go to the home page, scroll down and click on success stories, and then click on headaches to read...

Would you be willing to share which viruses? I am just curious.

I am so sorry you are suffering. I think the fact that you have reached out here on the wiki, expressing your despair, shows that you do want answers, you do want to live on some level. It would be easy for anyone experiencing what you are to feel that there are not any answers. I agree with...

If you haven't already, check out Alan Gordon's FB page "Tell Me About Your Pain". It's full of good resources.

You might want to check out the Pain Psychology Center. The executive director is Alan Gordon, who created the structured educational program on the wiki. Even before the pandemic their counselors saw patients for TMS counseling via telemedicine who did not live in California where they are...

There is a list of TMS therapists and coaches here. If you click on the three horizontal lines at the top of this page, and then click on "help" and scroll down to "resources".
