:) Thanks, I appreciate the encouragement. There is this Jewish Holiday that we celebrate (its called Shavout). Its the holiday after Passover, where we celebrate the receiving of the torah (Bible). This holiday is also the last one of our year where there is a special memorial service for lost...

thats good news! It could very well be TMS. I think there was a chapter about cardiac issues in The Divided Mind (if memory serves).

Hey, your mom needs to see a cardiologist.While this might be TMS, you need to rule out any serious heart problems first. This is usually accomplished with an EKG and maybe a halter monitor that she can wear for 2 or 3 days (it records the heart's activity for diagnostic purposes). Its also...

Hi Everyone, Im coming up on the anniversary of the passing of my mom. Its unbelievable to me that its been 15 years. If you've seen the Disney move "Inside Out" this might make more sense. Self esteem - DOWN Happiness - DOWN Anxiety - UP Irritability - UP In short, right on cue, my left...

Hi, Hope all you guys are doing well. I was wondering if anyone had any information related to insomnia at TMS. Its a bit of a long shot, but maybe, right?

I slept well last night (OK, I had some help with that). Today, I'm spending the day with my family and I'm feeling fine. I'd be less than honest if I said that emotionally I was OK with what happened yesterday (boss, heart etc), but such is life right? We all have disappointments and we all...

Today was a bad day at work. My boss (who I am friends with) pulled a fast one and I called him out on his actions. I got a quick "I'm sorry" but by that point, I was fuming (fuming silently.. like a big scary quiet dragon). And then the chest pain starts. I've been down this road before and...

Anyone else have momentary or slightly longer hearing loss. Like most other things, I went to a specialist for this and as always "there is nothing wrong". I bring this up because my hearing in my right ear went out the other day for a few seconds and I went right to work exploring my current...

Today I drove from southern NJ up to NYC to NYU Langone medical center. I met with Dr. Rashbaum and had a 45 minute assessment and yes, I got a positive diagnosis. The assessment was very thorough, Hospital gown and all! He did a complete neurological check and asked a ton of questions. We went...

Hi All, Thank you once again for your replies. Its nice to be in the company of people who have an understanding TMS and the proverbial minefield that we seem to walk thought on a daily basis regarding emotions. My stress level is at 10 right now. The funny thing is, there is nothing negative...
