I've had the most interesting week of bizarre feelings and sensations. Or lack there of actually. I've felt a little numb and distant lately. A little lighter than usual. Like my gravity isn't fully meeting the ground or the bed, if that makes any sense. I am not numb on the skin. I check by...

Thanks for the info Huckleberry. Just kinda needed to hear this kind of thing from other people who have been through it. Your first 18 months sounds exactly like me. It's just so wild to think that I'm feeling better... and feeling calm. And it just sneaks in a different direction. This time...

You do know? I'm seeing a Dr next week. I hope he'll be able to clarify some things for me. I only spent 30 mins perusing info before I couldn't handle it. I've been dealing with this for over a year now. I gained a lot of my strength back. A lot of my sensations have calmed. seems like most...

TL;DR: now feeling symptoms of disease that I googled. Why did I do this? How can I unplanted these new symptom seeds? You don't need to read further unless you want the background of what a disservice the mind and body can to to each other. Over the weekend, I did some symptom googling to...

About 15 years ago. A doctor diagnosed me with TAS. Tight assed syndrome. He was joking with the diagnosis. But was serious about my symptoms. I was in a crazy car accident. And became super uptight. In my ass. Literally clenching my butt so much that I developed... bathroom difficulties.

I've had an interesting year with my health. Quite maddening. Confusing. Scary. And I've had a nice break from my normal thought pattern after listening to the Divided Mind audiobook during the long drive to stay with my folks for the holiday. It all started (on the surface) in October of...
