The more you do pain free, the less and less solace you’ll place in needing the MRI scan. Some things just need time to fade. Try to not dwell or ruminate on the idea either, acknowledge the thought, but then try to let it go and move on with whatever you’re doing.

As scary as it can be, to think that you have pain somewhere new. Reflection on it just adds fuel to the fire of it being related to your mind, not your body. Pay particular attention to pain which manifests in places which you subconsciously fear, or which would impact on your life severely. I...

Hi, I’m back to this programme for a second time. For those wondering, I had huge success from my first time. 14 days in and I had shaken the anxiety, the fear and my abdominal pain. So I 100% have belief in this working. I guess what I’m saying is don’t lose faith. Now on to why I’m back...

Sorry to hear of your situation, but there’s some good in that multiple medical professionals cannot find anything significantly wrong, and that your symptoms appeared without apparent injury. You’re already on the right path of reading other success stories. When I went round this the first...

Thanks. I think I recognise her name from JournalSpeak. I guess I’m here asking the question of is this TMS ? But in reality I feel like I know the answer: maybe! But really doing more emotional work won’t be a bad thing either way. I guess I just worry about my job, but that’s expected! Also...

Hi, Thank you for the reply. I was so filled with joy when I felt like I’d regained my life back. I probably did the predictable, but incorrect idea of having addressed my problems, and then quit doing the work. I got through 14 days of the structured recovery programme in about 16-18 days (I...

Hi, Its me, I'm back again. I must first of all say that I've had success from this. I came to this forum, and TMS through a persistent pain in my abdomen that had been around for years. I made it 14 days through the Recovery Programme before the pain diminished, moved, appeared in other places...

This is as much for me, as anyone else who reads these forums. I am on day 12 of the Structured Educational Programme. Today I have been pain free, all day. Tomorrow may be different, it may be the same. The day after may be different, it may be the same. Through no change in activities, only...

I started with pain on my left abdomen, then it appeared sometimes on the right, then my lower back started to hurt more at times. 10 days in, I rarely get the pain on my left abdomen, the pain in my back is more present and the pain on my right abdomen comes and goes. It's definitely on the...

Today's journaling activity was around me being unwell while I was on holiday. I remembered the panic and fear, the sadness I felt, the intense worry. I'm pleased I've journaled about it, but is it normal for me to still feel these emotions in the short time afterwards. Is this a good thing...

As said at the outset, whilst on this journey to heal chronic pain. I'm just enjoying the experience of getting in touch with emotions, giving myself the permission and space to feel things which honestly, I've probably bottled up. The more I do it the more emotional I find myself being. The...
