I’ve had this too (seriously, everything!). When I saw my dentist, she said my tooth was fine but that a tight cheek muscle can refer pain and make it feel like a tooth ache. She then felt that muscle and I almost jumped. Sound like TMS?? Hope this is the same for you!

Thank you so much for the reply. I find that when I’m stressed and overwhelmed, it’s harder to speak logically and calmly to myself. I hate reaching for help outside myself but- sometimes I need it. Thank you!

Hi supporters! I don’t know how much background to give, except that one of these days I’ll post some success stories on here. I’ve seen TMS do some crazy things in my life, and it never ceases to amaze me. Just this week, i had an MRI to rule out some crazy neuro symptoms I had been having for...

Hi- I can speak to this exact. Same. Symptom. It was 100% TMS, and it was 100% scary. I did get this one checked out because it was so scary, but it disappeared as soon as I did. I never cease to be amazed. I will follow this to hear the answer to your other questions, because I struggle with...

That is an incredible story! I had to chime in because I really believe that stress and tension plays such a role in fertility too-- not in all cases, but probably many. My first and third pregnancies happened without even really trying, but with my second, it took us a lot longer to conceive...

@honey badger - I went through an international move nearly 6 years ago, one month after the birth of my second daughter. I understand everything you are talking about, looking at so many life changes at once. In hindsight, for me, it was one of the many things that precipitated the onset of...

Hi- Disuse atrophy is a real thing, caused by-- disuse! Assuming this is what you are referring to! It is also reversible, through gentle, gradual resumption of activity. Muscles aren't built in a day, or even a week, but over time. This is a wonderful success story that specifically...

Thank you thank you all. I don't post on here often-- it's only when I really need a shift in perspective and reassurance that I do. @plum, I think you're right. I think I do know I'm ok, somewhere in there. I just have to cut through all that noise to realize it. Some days, like that one, when...

When I look back at advice and support I've given to others along the way, I have to laugh a little. I am so bad at following my own advice! Here's my problem. I am not new to TMS, I have had so many successes, and still struggle so acutely with FEAR. My current situation reveals to me the...

Yes, folks have recovered from tinnitus:) Here's one- it's in her list of things she experienced and recovered from: http://www.tmswiki.org/forum/threads/a-physicians-tms-story-rsi-hyperacusis-and-much-more.7658/ (A Physician's TMS story - RSI, Hyperacusis and much more.....)

This is great, and congratulations on becoming a father too!

Great! You're golden :) Well, if only it were that easy. This post sums up so much about TMS recovery. Read this- there's no need for me to write words of advice when it has been so clearly and thoroughly explained by someone who experienced such a dramatic recovery...

Hi @Shosh - have you seen a doctor about these symptoms to rule out anything serious?
