As you may have noticed, I'm great at posting my fears, not so great at coming back and replying! It's partly down to me trying to avoid googling my symptoms constantly! @Buckeye - that's interesting to hear, I have something similar, but it's more often like I'll bend my arms, or hold them out...

Hi BrooklynGal, I'm sorry to hear you're going through this, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Totally know where you're coming from - but it does sound like you're managing well with the TMS diagnosis, which is my real stumbling block at the moment. It's the hardest thing to shake that nagging...

Thanks Andy, I'm glad it's not just me who does this - it's almost become another thing to beat myself up about, like, how can I wan't to get well, then not make time to do the most important things?! It's a ridiculous situation really! Some days I'll have lists of things to do, impossible to...

Thanks for all taking the time to reply, and Forest, Alan, thanks for the recommendations, I'm in the UK so unless I go SKYPE I'm limited to TMS practitioners over here, there aren't many! Having said that, I've contacted a psychotherapist near me who does TMS work (actually found them via an...

Hi Walt, Thanks for taking the time to reply, that's kind of what I'm worried about though - my last set of conduction studies did show a problem, but when searching for conduction studies here on the forum, everyone's seemed to have come back OK. I just wondered if anyone else had been...

Hi, At the risk of looking like I'm spamming this subforum, I wanted to start a seperate thread for this, partly because I didn't want it getting lost in my other threads, and partly because someone else might find it easier should they be looking. I'm just curious if any of you have had nerve...

Thanks so much for your replies, I definitely have lots of smaller issues that will have generated anger/conflict, over the years and continue to do so. What I thought was odd was that the only things I might have considered major, were years before I started feeling any RSI type pain, but...

Thanks Andy, I've noticed that I'm even putting off the meditation now, like I'll try, and then feel more relaxed afterwards, but then find that i'm 'too busy' to make the time, and instead find something else to do like housework or something, when actually I have plenty of time to practice. I...

Hi, I started a second thread as I wanted to check some specific things. I have been battling RSI for years now, and it's slowly got worse and worse until I now have almost constant symptoms in the form of tingling, zaps, burning pain and most recently numbness in one finger. I also developed...

Thanks Ellen, I didn't realise I hadn't replied, sorry about that! I'm still struggling with it all a bit, but I'm going to start a second thread as I have some specific questions.

Thanks again for the replies, I have started reading hope and help for your nerves, and The Great Pain Deception arrived a couple of days ago. I clearly need to make a shift here - at the moment I'm thinking 'but I still do all the things I want, so what's TMS stopping me from doing?' when...

Thanks Labrador. I think I'm finding it harder because there are some old physical injuries, and some diagnosis of minor nerve entrapment, even though at the time they said they didn't fit my symptoms. So I keep thinking well, my pain is worse, and now I have tremors, so the nerve stuff must...

Thanks for the replies guys, I've ordered Help for your nerves, and I have healing back pain already, so I'll look back over that. I read most of it, but at the time I was struggling with it being a physcial issue. I still am to be honest, I think because there are old injuries there, I keep...
