    Question about rest vs exercise

    I feel you. The contradictory advice makes my head spin, and it can feel like the stakes are very high. Personally, I'm going to dive back into TMS in earnest and really try to forget everything structural. Perhaps this is foolish and I will cause myself further dysfunction, but I'm at the point...

    We're not talking about cramping.

    Question about rest vs exercise

    This is the same predicament I find myself in. I'm not sure I buy the proposition that RSIs don't exist, and that if they do, they heal as rapidly as the TMS doctors posit. Iirc, tendon issues take quite a while to heal (if that's indeed what's going on), and it's nearly impossible to let the...

    What is TMS and what isn't? Sarno? Ozanich? Do TMS doctors even know?

    Well, based on the rest of this thread, it depends on whom you ask.

    How do I respond to my TMS?

    I'd take a break from everything TMS-related, including this site, the books - all of it. Are there any subjects that fascinate you that you could explore? Beautiful places where you live that you could check out? Friends you could connect with?

    Is anhedonia TMS?

    It comes and goes. I think it's related specifically to exhaustion in my case

    Day 4 Personality traits / Most disheartening thing a doctor has told you about your symptoms

    Wow, I'm surprised an ENT would diagnose ENS. I had a pretty extensive turbinate reduction when I was 19 and worried about the potential for Empty Nose Syndrome. Dr. Schubiner seems to think it's TMS, but I'm still not sure. There doesn't seem to be very good diagnostic tests for nasal...

    To try something new

    I really want to get into kayaking this summer. Returning to a martial arts gym would be cool, too. I'd love to compete in some local grappling competitions - we'll see.

    Fear of getting better

    I'm more afraid of staying stuck than I am of improvement

    Spacing Out A Lot (Not Painful but Annoying)

    Ah, I see. How structured is your time rn? I know you're a student, but do you have any hobbies or interests outside of your studies that engage and pull you into the present moment?

    Sleep Apnea

    Can't remember which thread I was reading, but someone else mentioned that their sleep apnea improved by treating it as TMS. It's definitely something to consider if other causes have been ruled out/dealt with.
