    Did the pandemic cause your TMS?

    Good morning! Yes, I am now free from chronic pain. I began my journey out in late August of 2022 via Dr. Charlie Johnson, this site and the Curable app. I do think the circumstances surrounding the pandemic were novel and extreme; certainly enough to tip people over into chronic TMS.

    Did the pandemic cause your TMS?

    I was also essentially born with TMS (tummy issues as an infant). However, my big pain that brought me to this “world” happened in 2022. As things began to calm down, my employer wanted us to come back to the office. I asked for an exception and was denied. So I applied for an internal...

    That Stubborn Last 5% of Pain

    Hi Blu! This resonates with me. I went quickly from 9/10 to 1-2/10 pain. I bounced around the level 1 (aka 90% better) for quite a while. Like you, I’d have times of zero pain. The past few months have been zero nearly all the time. In that time, I’ve continued to increase activity all while...

    PROBLEMS WITH STRETCHING, YOGA, MEDITATION, ETC

    I have that book on my kindle now! I got sidetracked by "Scarcity Brain" (so good). I've heard Nicole Sachs say something about how anything can be integrated into your life or "journey" as long as are you approaching it from a place of love vs fear or obligation. I was doing yoga and...

    Does anyone here have 'Benign Fasciculation Syndrome'

    Twitching was a major symptom of mine. Now, muscle twitches are my first clue that I'm suppressing my feelings and/or am overwhelmed. My biceps, triceps, and every large muscle in my legs will twitch when I lay down at night to go to sleep. I just tell myself, "ahhhhhh, I see you. I will...

    Is there a difference between TMS and FND?

    That sounds promising to me. I believe that physical actions help with both! Resuming activity after/during TMS is good for the body and the mind. So, physical therapies for FND seems perfectly reasonable to me, especially if approached with love Vs fear.

    Severe Hip issue (with MRI done)

    The pain is due to TMS, not to a structural abnormality The direct reason for the pain is mild oxygen deprivation TMS is a harmless condition caused by my repressed emotions The principal emotion is my repressed ANGER TMS exists only to distract my attentions from the emotions Since my...

    Hip impingement

    Doctors use a lot of phrasing that is deeply harmful to our minds. Bone-on-bone is not a synonym for pain. There are tons of people with bone-on-bone joints that do not experience pain. There are tons of people with perfect scans (ME!) that have experienced crippling, 10/10 pain. You have...

    What happens when TMS is really stubborn

    I started with episode 1 and caught up to current in about 8 months! ;-) Keep in mind that you may wish to try her approach and I do recommend giving it a whirl. You may vary. Either way, you are not wrong. Just finding your special sauce.
