Sorry for what You are going through. My sympathyit does not sound like a pity party to me. All the best

I do not want to hijacke this thread. Just want to say i have had halluc rigidus for five years and i have been two days away from an operation but decided against it as it would have meant about two months immobility and a succes for about 10 years before it probably comes back. I have moderate...

It is true the mind seems only have the capacity to produce one bothersome symptom at the time. It is as if it is saying “what shall We bother her with today” oh she has not had IBS for while, lets take that”. I know it sounds ridiculous but that is how it feels. I had a severe attack of IBS 10...

I was wondering if others have experienced something like that. My main issues are and have (for a long time) been IBS, TMJ, teeth anxiety and footpain. Lately my footpain is completely gone but my IBS and teeth anxiety (probably connected with the flareup of the IBS) are worse than ever. It...

Very valuable information on that Forum. I still go there from time to time F.eks Hillbilli’s recovery story is a great read. But the Forum has gone dead and the administrator (Dave) has disappeared….

Reading this was such a big help to me. I am suffering from TMJ and have done it for years. I have read every book on TMS there is and received lots of good advice on this Forum but sometimes you just look for new approaches or angels when nothing seems to work. Not wanting to get rid of the...

I agree. Actually i have difficulties giving myself authentic and positive messages most of the time. The messages also have to be realistic. Saying “i am getting better every day” when You deep down feel you are getting nowhere cannot be helpful. But as you suggest i guess it has to be small...

TMJ although i still struggle with it being TMS

Dear Plum So sorry for your loss. Loosing ones parents, even though, we know it happens at some point, is very hard. I wish you a lot of strength.

I think this happens to people with a certain type of skin. When i was a teenager i was blushing constantly of embarrassement and knowing i was very red made the whole thing worse. I used to envy people who had normal face colour even when sweating. As an adult i am not blushing anymore but...

This is not done with washing your face. I have myself been bothered by hot red face for many years. It appears when drinking wine, being exposed to heat and cold. Sometimes it comes from nowhere. I think it has a great deal to do with stress but i was also diagnosed with roscea. Basically i...

Hi I can very well identify with your issues. For a long time i thought that positive people were probably more likeable but we have qualities too and f.eks. i find myself often more realistic than my (positive) husband. It is not easy to change your personality and if we are not the happy go...

Thank you very much for your reply. It was very useful. Even when I am fairly relaxed when I go to bed (i am never really relaxed) i wake op in the morning completely tensed op and I wonder what happened during the Night. Must be clenching. I will try visualizing and affirmations and I know it...

I have not been on this forum for a long time but i just stumbled over your reply. You write that you trained yourself to stop clenching. I cannot imagine that that that was easy but how did you go about it? I have been clenching for years. The night Guard did also nothing for me. My neck is...
