Thank you, Pernille, You may well be right that what I'm looking for is someone I believe is trustworthy to tell me that "nothing is wrong." There are hearing sites which address my issues similarly to other TMS issues. And, I'm very confortable with that idea and believe I've found local...

Greetings! One of my favorite phrases is "the symptom imperative," because it is so true. So, last week when I lost most of Friday with vertigo (please don't call it "dizziness"), and found online that I have all the symptoms of Meniere's Disease (vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, and fullness...

Thanks Mike2014! With the help of God, I can accept this person's differences, and slow down my own reactions.

Greetings! This was the first time I've tried the cluster journaling technique, but I'll get back to that in a moment. Today's reading included a response by Dr John Stracks to the question about how to distinguish between TMS and actual injury. His answer was brief, but useful. The other...
