Welcome to the Forum! Glad you found us. You are now on the road to recovery. Tell us more about your knowledge of TMS and what resources you have explored. Ask any specific questions you have. We are all here to help.

I had to hold off on reading this post because I had an upcoming root canal appointment. I am so susceptible to TMS that I can get symptoms just by reading about someone else having them. Happy to report that I had my root canal, and everything went fine. @nicolemarie7414 I hope you are...

You have peeled back the veil on this now and know that it is not a road you want to go down. This is a point in time that you can change old patterns instead of repeating them. You are now on the road to recovery.

@Booble has said it all very well. I just want to agree that your pain is very understandable and is classic TMS (or neuroplastic pain as the new term). The good news about this is that total recovery is possible. There are many of us on this site that have made the same journey as you. You...

You've landed in the right place and we are glad you are here. Let us know if you have any questions as you navigate your road to recovery.

These A-HA moments will lead you to recovery. That's how it happened for me.

You're doing great work, Carl! Keep going and keep us informed about how you're doing.

This is the deepest question of all. I've spent my life trying to answer this. I believe it is because we have free will and spirituality must be a choice. Every moment of our life is an opportunity to choose. Choose love, peace and forgiveness. That is the only way to experience these. I think...

You can use our Search box to look for Success Stories of people who had cervical stenosis in the Success Stories Forum. I'm sure you will find some there. But remember that the specific diagnosis and symptoms of TMS aren't that relevant when thinking about recovery. Everyone with TMS can...

Whew! You have A LOT going on! It's understandable that you have TMS. But recovery is totally possible even for people with many hurdles. Have you ever read the posts by @miffybunny ? She also had to struggle with the challenges of a child with autism and she has totally recovered. You may find...

Fibromyalgia and chronic migraines were my main symptoms when I first discovered TMS. I completely recovered from both. You can read my Success Story by clicking on my profile and then "my story". There may be something in there that you will find inspirational and useful. My message to you is...

Another great @Duggit post!

I've felt this way in my life, but I've come to understand that it is a choice. I think it comes from taking a passive stance that life is something that happens to me, rather than the result of a series of choices I make. You have agency and can choose differently, but you have to change your...

I just found the "unanswered threads" section and really like it. It helps me focus my efforts on responding to people who are new here and may need some encouragement.

Your post is an excellent start on your road to recovery. It's honest and insightful. Many of us start this path already feeling discouraged due to our past attempts. But I, and others here, will say that this is different and can turn into a full recovery--even if you think it will never...
