    Desperate due to chronic/disabling anal pain!

    Hello there, I just wanted to follow up to see how you are doing. You mentioned reading the post made your pain worse. Well reading this post after 3 years of being pain free has set me back exactly where I was years ago so I can relate there.

    Desperate due to chronic/disabling anal pain!

    Thank you for always being so supportive and encouraging. Also appreciate you sharing your own story and being so raw. This happens to be the toughest period in my life right now maybe that’s contributing to all this. Im mid divorce and in the process of receiving an autism diagnosis for my 28...

    Desperate due to chronic/disabling anal pain!

    hmmm that’s an interesting thought, maybe I felt guilt for being recovered when all this other people were here still desperate for answers. I honestly can’t say what it was but I’m going to reread everything and hope for the best possible outcome. I think I’m still surprised on the power of the...

    Thank you so much for the encouraging words. I don’t feel fearful to reread anything. I just wish I didnt come back to this place to begin with to avoid whatever triggered me but I couldn’t help it. When I saw somebody needed help I thought I would come on here to share my experience and here we...

    Desperate due to chronic/disabling anal pain!

    Hello to all my newcomers and old pals, I updated this post about 3 years later just last week. Im sure some of you saw and it gave you hope that through TMS I recovered. Now I need your help because what is happening is almost unbelievable and somewhat ridiculous to say the least. As you read...

    Desperate due to chronic/disabling anal pain!

    Here is my update everyone.. Im going to keep this simple. I have feel completely pain free for almost 3 years by doing absolutely nothing.

    Day 3 Feeling uncertain and overwhelmed with emotion...

    Hello Ssxl4000, Thank you so much for sharing your story and giving such thoughtful answers to my long pondered questions. Your answers really gave me a sense of relief and peace of mind that Im in the right place. The whole concept of Western medicine slapping names on conditions and wrapping...

    Michael91, Thank you for sharing. Glad to hear you are doing better. My hope is to find ways to release my pelvic floor muscles as well instead of focusing on emotions.

    TMS is not about deeply repressed emotions

    Just when you thought you were getting hang of this as a newcomer then this video pops up and completely throws you off your journey. I feel as though we must focus on childhood memories to understand why we are the way we are today or how that impacted our attitude /behavior today. I agree with...

    Northwood, Thank you for welcoming me and taking the time to share. I can relate on so many levels. I lost my job at the end of February as well. Definitely cant relate on the part of being an employee for 15 years but it was something I was passionate and dedicated to for quiet some time. I...

    Desperate due to chronic/disabling anal pain!

    Mala, Unfortunately pain meds have never helped me. Even when my symptoms started over 4 years ago and were really mild my body just didnt react to pain meds. I have tried everything under the sun after my surgery and nothing... Besides making me really drowsy and putting me to sleep with the...
