Hi everyone, is there anyone from the Tampa Bay or St. Petersburg, Florida area? I would really like to start a support group in this area? If you live in this area and are interested, please send me a message. Thanks!

Hi Aggie. I am sorry to hear that you had a tough day. It sounds stressful and, I imagine, exhausting. I hope that you are able to take care of yourself, as much as it sounds that you are taking care of others. It has been my experience that us TMS'ers tend to put other's needs before our...

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. The short answer to your question is, yes. I have taken pain meds, in the past. I can't remember all of them. The only meds that helped with the feet and FM pain, was a combination of Gabapentin and Cymbalta. The Gabapentin alone didn't help, but when...

Thank you, Click#7. I am doing well. TMS pain is 80% better, overall, than it was before I read Sarno's book.

Hey Daniel, I separated my right shoulder and also dislocated my left shoulder (separate incidents), in college, in 1987. Yes, I'm an old man! Anyway, when I dislocated my shoulder, I had it in a sling for about 2-3 weeks. I don't remember exactly how long before it felt "normal", but maybe a...

Hey, Brendan, I'm sorry if I over-reacted to your post. Obviously, I misunderstood what you meant. Anyway, congratulations on your 10 months of sobriety! I'm happy for you. I know how desperate I felt when my pain was at it's worst. To be honest, I don't know what kept me from turning to...

Hello Brendan. First of all, I am truly sorry to hear that you are struggling so much right now. I know what that feels like. I sincerely hope that you are able to get relief from your pain, and quickly! Being in constant pain is horrible! Secondly, I appreciate your honesty, as well. That...

Your welcome, Katie. I can relate! I tend to overthink things, too. I guess that's one of the traits of people with TMS. Good luck with your recovery!
