This is really helpful because I think the point I'm at is that yes maybe I have dry eye caused by something underlying (like you had an obvious injury) but I 100% believe that the pain I experience from it is disproportionate to what is actually wrong with my eyes. In fact I've also been told...

Thank you for your reply, yes it does suck for sure, I've never had any symptoms of hormone imbalance before and it started randomly at 30 so strange how your body can change.

After having some bloods done for a separate issue unrelated to my eye pain/ dry eye the doctor has found I have low estrogen which has made her say aha I've found the root of the dry eye issue. But my question is can TMS cause hormonal issues OR could the hormone levels be just another normal...

Thank you, this makes so much sense, one minute I'm driving singing a long to the radio the next I'm crying, music and basically anything slightly emotional online and that's it I'm crying. I try and be compassionate with myself in those moments, taking deep breaths and telling myself it's ok to...

Thank you for the info, I do do meditation but not necessarily in the moment, I do try deep breathing in the moment and sending myself messages of safety.

Thank you, that's reassuring, sometimes trying to see these things as positive can be hard!

Yes you are right there has definitely been many peeks and troughs so far with the pain dancing around from severe to mild and anything in between. I'd say this is the 1st time of emotional hypersensitivity, I think I've got some fatigue coming along side it too because I feel physically and...

Today’s read about allergies was very insightful. I’ve been gluten intolerant for about 10years. It disappeared entirely when I was pregnant and for 7months after. When I started this work and noticed I’m not as sensitive to it I’m realising it’s definitely TMS! Looking back so many things are...

Day 18. Pain has started moving, still in my eyes but of course it is because I find myself wishing it was anywhere else in my body so my brain is doing its job I suppose. Now one hour it can feel like a sandy burny feeling in both eyes and the next hour my left eye feels mostly normal and my...

Thank you for pointing that out, awareness definitely is powerful! I can relate to the changing of appearance and then self criticism that that brings but who taught us we weren't of value just because we don't look 'perfect' It's really good that you know exactly what feelings are behind...
