I think I have had mild TMS since the age of 5.
I had minor issues pop up on and off from the age of 5 to 43. (mostly TMS equivalents). But for the most part, I lived a very active, happy life.
Then in 2007, I got super sick with severe food allergies, mcs, and the fibro, chronic pain set in.
I spent tons of $ going from doctor to doctor trying to figure it all out. Now in retrospect, I realize that some severe emotional stressors in my life from 2002-2007 likely tipped me over and all of my most severe TMS symptoms began to emerge.
In late 2013 I found a wonderful Neuroplasticity program and discovered that I had a Mindbody condition. I worked the program and had great improvements, but kept losing those improvements anytime something of an emotional nature would happen. I began to see a pattern.
Someone suggested that I try Faster EFT (tapping) and IT HELPED SO MUCH TOO. Even shifted my TMS pain.
One of my FEFT practitioners that I was seeing to clear out old past emotional traumas, suggested that I read THE GREAT PAIN DECEPTION. and the rest is history. I was blown away. Needless to say, I did not need to be convinced that I have TMS, because I saw myself in every page and matched every symptom and personality trait.
The pattern of my chronic pain/fibro are EXACTLY as TMS describes. And yes, my brilliant brain chose old injures to place this pain in, even choosing to give me a frozen left shoulder because that is the arm I always cary my heavy purse on.....
When I eat certain foods that I am allergic to, my TMS pain increases and other TMS symptoms increase too. I finally realized that my 30 other symptoms are TMS equivalents, (serving the same purpose to distract)
I will see Dr. Sklar soon in Fort Worth.
I have read 5 TMS books and ordered 3 more, then read somewhere that I should STOP collecting information and just focus on healing.But I am so intrigued with the whole TMS story. Not sure if I should read the other 3books or not.
I am doing light exercising for the first time in my LIFE...!!!! and it feels fantastic. When I was reading THE GREAT PAIN.........my lower back pain actually increased..then got better. I look forward to this new journey and more than anything, I look forward to LIVING AGAIN.
