Hi Sawdog, Did you ever have numbness in your pinky and ring finger? If so, did it ever go away? It is pretty crazy, I slept wrong one night and basically woke up with ulnar nerve irritation. The numbness has gotten better with time, but never has went away over the past year. If I do any type...

Hi Jan. I did do a search before I posted, just didn’t find very many examples. I was hoping maybe someone on the board could add to this or share personal experience.

I have had really bad allergies since I was a child. When getting a skin allergy test about three years ago I was allergic to every grass, pollen, and weed they tested me for which was a very large amount, plus dander, dust, and mold. No food allergies thankfully. I currently give myself 3...

Hi Everyone, My mom has recently had to have 3 Different surgeries and row for kyphoplasty which is repairing cracks in the vertebrae. She has a history of TMs symptoms and is having an extremely difficult time recovering. This procedure was supposed to help her pain immensely but she is still...

Yes, I've had it. It's funny, sometimes when I am dealing with a immediate source of tension it comes on immediately, but I know what it is, so that makes a huge difference in feeling better.

I've had this, though not as severe as yours, and reading The Great pain Deception by Steve Ozanich helped me accept it as TMS. Even more so than Dr. Sarnos books. It does flare in times of tension but is TONS better. Try paying attention to what is going on in your mind when it hurts the most...

I have a different opinion on this. I think it is okay to go to the chiropractor occasionally, it just doesn't need to be a habit where you are ignoring the TMS underneath. I went the other day, and hadn't been in two years. It helped loosen my tight muscles in my trapezium. Also, both my...

This sounds sooo much like TMS. That's good that you've read Steve's book, it really helped me identify things too. I haven't had the exact thing you're talking about, but something similar. A feeling of tension down there and it was very annoying and started when I was going through a lot of...

Thank you Brant and Walt. I've noticed when I get anxious or hear something I don't like, quite often it gets louder right away. There's definitely a TMS factor in there. It's almost like a muscle tensing up and cracking up the volume. I listened to a meditation video on you tube last night and...

One thing that helped me is repeating affirmations as I did scary things. For example, as I took a walk that used to hurt my si joint, I would say to my brain, "My back is strong and healthy, or I'm calm, confident and relaxed." Here is a link about affirmations...

Can anyone share some tips or tricks on how to ignore tinnitus? I've been on to my tms for about 2 1/2 years now, and have gotten better, but my tinnitus isn't responding well. Sometime I can ignore it when I'm busy, but when I'm not busy, it's really HARD to try to concentrate on anything else...

Thanks for this post interstellar.
