Hi Alan, thank you so much for doing this podcast and sharing the experience from your patients. I guess my main struggle has been to establish a way to not neglect the taking care of myself and to avoid falling back into the trap of TMS. Is there a toolkit that could be developt as a first aid...

Hi all, I just wanted to ask if anyone had experience being very sensitive to sounds as a TMS symptom? Basically since moving to a new flat I had problems with noisy neighbours who would listen to TV or radio very loudly until late in the night and even if I asked them to keep it down they...

Hi cknibb, sorry for the delay in answering. Yes, I used the cream the doctor gave me but it is difficult to say what helped actually because as soon as I started using it and thought about the patch less and less, it almost disappeared. I stopped using the cream after a couple of months because...

Hi NicoleB34, thanks for your reply, I had IBS first and then the bladder sensitivity afterwards. I think every person has a different version of the TMS symptoms in general and some things can help some of us to live with it and heal and dont help others with the same symptoms. I had my share...

Hi both and thanks for your answers. I had the usual checks they send you to do when you have this kind of symptoms but everything was normal, and I did it twice. I was diagnosed with irritable bladder symptom. I also have a history of irritable bowel symptom that acts up when I'm under stress...

Hi all, and thanks for posting this Anxiousone. I have been looking for other people's stories with this issues to figure out if I'm alone in the bladder world. My life revolves around it and even though you could say I go to the toilet as the next average person, the feelings of half empty...

Hi Tiny, thank you for your message. Yes, the treatment works, definitely, I'm a living proof of it but I do get frustrated when setbacks happen because it is usually when I have most stress and have to face things. I do recognise them as TMS, and am amazed by how much TMS reinvents itself over...

Thanks EileenS, the above was very helpful. :)

Did anyone ever had the following doubts when going through a setback and what are your thought on in: - do you think that when symptoms start again it is just a sign that things are going to get worse or is it a "softer" version of the attack and things get better? - is the above then a sing...

Hi both and thank you very much for your replies. I'm feeling much better, have managed to work through the setback using the techniques I've learned and revisiting some issues I forgot about but my brain obviously hasn't. I have been journaling and making lists and similar through the year...

It has been a while since I last visited this forum or posted. Things have been better with the help of a TMS therapist and my personal growth when it comes to TMS. But as you probably imagine, some symptoms have come back in a crucial time of my life. I'm moving countries, jobs, life really and...

thanks Hecate. I've been to the emergency dentist today and surprise surprise, the x-ray of my teeth shows that there is nothing wrong. I just have the gums inflamed and over sensitive. TMS all over this. I'm glad I did the check though, that's always good to do because I haven't had this kind...
