Thanks Cactus, appreciate you taking the time to respond. You are of course totally right than I'm obsessed with it. I'm a chronic overthinker - had that long before I ever had any physical issues. I just have that nagging feeling that if I could find one person whose bite is badly misaligned...

Thank you very much for the kind messages. I've definitely had days, weeks even, where I don't really care too much about how long TMS lasts, and I can get myself into a place of believing (almost entirely) that everything will be fine. But it's hard. The fear comes back and it's so ingrained...

Hi folks, I wonder if there's anyone out there who can help stem what I believe to be the root of my fear. As a bit of context, I've been pretty deep into the TMS world/research for a few years now. I've done all the required reading (and more), and the SEP. In that time I've seen some quite...

Hi - thought I'd reply to help put your mind ant ease and get you started on your recovery. I've experienced and solved (more or less) nearly all the symptoms you write about.

Thanks! Onwards and upwards

Hi folks, I'm just over a week into the structured education program but I've been familiar with the mid/body theory for a few months now. I've seen some great improvements already, especially in areas where the pain moved around a lot (down my limbs especially). I now have zero doubt that I...

Playing golf was my absolute favourite activity as a younger man. Working on the swing, chatting with friends, having a beer after. Hadn't swung a club for about 8 years because I 'knew' that twisting would put my back out for weeks. Well, I went to the driving range today and his 75 balls (all...

Today is day 1 (or at least day one on this site). I finished 'the divided mind' yesterday and recognise myself in it incredibly strongly. It has taken me eight years to get to the point where I can accept the notion that all my various pains are coming from my mind. I'm already pretty convinced...
