For me, I ignore the pain when I sit (if I have pain). When I have a flare, it does not matter what I am doing, I feel it... If I worry about pain when sitting it will come on and/or get worse. Fear of and acknowledging the pain is what fuels the symptoms. Fear and worry cause tension...

The first year I had pain 24 hours a day in my whole pelvis. It felt like I had blue balls 24/7 plus an urgency to urinate. Then, the pain moved to the left side of my inner groin/testicle area and felt like a deep ache. The pain would be very similar to the way an open wound feels in salt...

Hi, I am sorry to hear you are struggling. My Pelvic pain is gone. The only time it shows up now is when I think about it to much or I have a really bad (negative emotion, or NO emotion) day. TMS is different for everyone and I believe there are multiple ways to heal. Here is my advice: 1. Are...

You are in the right place. Prostatitis is TMS, don't let the Docs fool you. Anything Docs cant explain like prostatitis, interstitial cystitis, pudendal nerve damage is all TMS. Get in touch with your emotions and be confident that the pain cannot harm you or that you have not done harm to...

Congratulations on being pain free. I have not been on this forum in well over a month. For the last 5 weeks I have been completely pain free. Then 4 days ago a flare up started, after a nasty argument with my mom who I really no longer talk to anymore. I also saw GI doctor that day who...

It works for me, that is the point I am trying to make... We all need to find our own paths. Some of us completely putting our trust and our future in someone else's hands is one way to heal, works for some. For others, like myself, trusting myself and using selective pieces I have learned from...

It sounds like you had a negative experience with him. I wonder what his point of view on the experience with you would be like? Perception is everything. I take everything I hear with a grain of salt from all doctors, therapists, and bloggers....

I believe as humans, if we believe in something enough we can make it happen. This is one of the reasons I feel like we're all able to heal from this with different methods and beliefs. I'm going to sign off now, taking my son down to Lindbergh Field in San Diego to watch the airplanes take...

When I have more time, I will detail chapter by chapter how this book has helped me. It's just another tool for an enormous toolbox.

I would still trust his work and his studies over anything else. As a child that went through significant trauma and as an adult that has experienced significant trauma this book hits home for me. I take everything I hear from everyone with a grain of salt, and I apply what I believe in and...

LOL.... I understand.

This is a trauma doctor who studies the brain. What did you expect?

I agree with you. Those of us that come from trauma have a brain that never feels safe. Eventually the signals that our brain sends our body that it's not safe turn into pain signals because it's the only way our brain can help us recognize something is wrong, even when everything is alright.

I d I think most doctors and therapists that treat mind body are disappointing during on-site visits. My goal is to take the book/blog content, and incorporate into my life and trust myself. If you have the content, and you believe that it's a mind-body syndrome, what's the point of seeing a...

"The Body Keeps The Score". Best book that will explain how the mind affects the body. No other book comes close. The Buddhists have been practicing mind-body for thousands of years. Find your own way..... thats what I am doing with the advice, personal mistakes, and mistakes of others.
