Don't worry about the pain. If you know for sure that it is TMS pain, then you can continue with your life without thinking about the pain. I learned about TMS long time ago. 2016? I was in this forums. At some point I just continued with my life without thinking too much about the pain. I just...

I had to rush to the toilet on the morning and was constipated on the evening. Probably my symptoms were not bad, but I was terribly worried about them. Now I still have some of the symptoms but I don't worry too much about them as I know it is TMS. I eat a healthy diet of natural products. I...

Ok... thanks Jan for the information. My symptoms are much better now than they were three months ago. It's likely that they were, at least in part, TMS.

Some 20 years ago tried a little bit of marijuana and that time it helped with my symptoms. Maybe the reason is that I had a good time with friends. Now I stay away from all kinds of drugs. Even alcohol. One day I had a beer "to relax" and it turned out to be a bad idea.

In my case, I had to abandon the idea of "recovery" and embrace a "living with it" attitude. When I was 100% sure my symptoms were psychological I wasn't as worried about them. The symptoms were not going to stop me... at least not completely... I started devoted time to other things instead...

Where to start? Watching Sarno on youtube and reading Sarno's books. That's what I did.

Ok... that's interesting... I wish this was just TMS. TMS is annoying but I have been living with it for many years and I am used to it... I will try to observe the symptoms for hints of TMS behaviour and try to think psychologically and see what happens...

Thanks Jan for your message... I don't think it's RA, honestly... what were your symptoms? And you say that RA can be ruled out with a simple blood test? That's interesting... I am afraid of going to the doctors and have my life ruined by a never-ending list of tests and appointments... It has...

Have you read Sarno's books? I think it's important to read the books. My life changed after reading them... I'm not saying I'm cured... but those books were really helpful...

Hi! It can be anything, really. A possibility is that your subconscious brain doesn't want to vacuum clean so it sends pain to protest. Or maybe you just expect the pain to come and that is the reason the pain comes. Or it can be any other reason that escapes our conscious thinking. I have to...

Hi everyone... I am a long-term TMSer. I suffered a lot until I read the books. The symptoms continued after reading the books, but the understanding of the symptoms allowed me to live a normal life. Last year the pain moved to my ankle and I had difficulty walking. I even got blisters because...

I signed in just to say that I keep doing well :)

By the way, when I said "observing the symptoms" in the last post I really meant "thinking psychologically". In the sense of observing when the symptom start and try to link that start to some psychological events. Also, observing the symptoms as they follow weird patterns such as moving around...

Thanks to those of you that created and maintain this forum. What helped me the most was to read the books and observing the symptoms. Then challenging the symptoms and starting to live a normal live, little by little. Around 2015 I lost my job because of the TMS symptoms. Now I work full time...
