    Conflicting TMS Information

    I think that the best source is still Dr. Sarno books, but there are times to pay attention to your pain and other times to ignore it. When you first got your pain, you should go to a doctor and make sure that there is nothing more going on. We should never just convince us that this is TMS, and...

    Multiple hernitaed discs and stenosis. Trying to avoid surgery.

    So you were not doing any activities and you recognize that the pain got activated when a decent amount of stress was caused. In Sarno's books he talks about studies of people who have pretty messed up backs physically but had no pain and viceversa. I went thru the pain spiral until I got...

    Alan G. How does TMS cause tightness?

    My take from all that I have read and gone thru is that it is an overstimulated signal coming from the brain, due to the brain trying to protect you from a perceived danger. This is specially true if you had an accident and your brain can "remember" the pain signal. It will create muscle...

    shortness of breath driving me crazy

    Hi: Sorry to hear you are in this situation. Before following any advice on TMS, have you cleared up yourself with a physician to check for other causes? Is this recent or have been going on for some time? TMS is only applied once you have made sure that there are no physical underlying...

    Practical repression

    Normally is not "repressed stress" that does anything but repressed feelings and emotions. Repressed thoughts or words that you want to say and do not. Stress is an immediate physical reaction. Once it comes and go, is gone. It is not "repressed" or stored, so if you did well , then congratulate...

    3 days no sleep and countless days of irregular sleep.ive started doubting my recovery

    Something that help some people is a herb called skullcap and passion flower. It comes in herbs, teas, tinctures and pills. I take one 425mg of skullcap and one 500mg of passion flower 2 hours before sleeping and they do help a lot with that anxiety that comes from rushing thoughts. Some people...

    tVNS- Vagus nerve stimulation. Have anyone here in the group tried it?

    I did this with a Dr's supervision. And I do not think that you were doing vns if you are applying it in your neck, because vns is only applied on the LEFT EAR, with a special electrode. Never in the right ear and never in the neck. I just checked the machine you used and THAT IS NOT a machine...

    How is it possible to recover when the anger/rage doesn't go away?

    The type of relaxation I mean to get to the inner child is getting into the subconscious. Yoga wont do because mostly you are either sitting or doing a pose and still on your conscious. There is a book that helped me a lot with getting to my subconscious that is called " the genie within". If...

    How is it possible to recover when the anger/rage doesn't go away?

    The anger is in the subconscious. If you can think about it, this is conscious anger and you probably are reliving thoughts of what happened and giving them new life. Forgiving is for you, not the perpetrator. You can forgive them without talking to them. The original rage in the subconscious...

    tVNS- Vagus nerve stimulation. Have anyone here in the group tried it?

    It is electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve. There are many studies that say it helps for anxiety, depression, seizures, etc. It seem to be working fine for me. You can do it yourself, if you get informed and know what you are doing. I consulted it with my doctor and he gave it the green...

    I think I've had a breakthrough.

    What Plum said. You do not need this kind of emotional rollercoaster. And if you have TMS, this will only be a nightmare. It would be as easy as just being honest with you and herself and telling her that you feel is better to just stay txt friends and nothing more. If this is the preamble...

    I'm unable to manage fear thoughts at night.how to trick them?

    Let me explain what I meant. I chose a career in a field that I loved always. The way we see these jobs when we are not in them is kind of like a TV show, where everything is perfect. But real life jobs have a lot of complications, safety hazards, meetings, expected results, pressure in many...
