Saying all of this is unnecessary. I never made one negative remark about this forum. I was just wondering why there weren't others like it on bigger platforms, to assist more people. And I was wondering what I could do to help it expand, since my expertise is online marketing and sales. You...

The LACK of discussion forums is sort of disappointing and mind boggling. I've looked around and I can't find much. I tried Reddit, and the "TMS" groups there is for "transcranial magnetic stimulation". There is only "Chronic Pain" forums...and truth be told, about 80% of the stories I saw on...

I think that giving into props and accommodations just prolongs TMS. And it shows you doubt it's TMS in the first place. Doing life WITH pain is the risk. If you want reassurance that you won't have any, you'll just get worse IMHO. I can literally cripple myself with TMS. I lost all function in...

I can't say I've experienced that. But I do have OCD intrusive thoughts. My latest is, I will look at people I am 100% not attracted to, and think thoughts as if I am. Almost like my brain is convincing me I am, but it's fake. It's annoying as Hell. But I know it's a distraction. Causes me to...

You may be right. I have a theory that my legs burn and my TMS presents as "Sciatica" down both legs because I don't want to go outside, and I'm relatively active and love outdoors, and the more I regret "society", the more it comes on.

When I say "TMS is a SHAM"....it's one of my reminders that the pain is a hoax, that I'm creating. And that it's a shadow part of me, the "Pain Body" if you will. It helps me to consistently tell it that it's fake, a hoax, a sham, a scam, a lie. I move forward from the pain a lot better when I...

I'm turning 50 in a few weeks. Which is also part of this, I think. I'm not having fun with the thought

I had it in my TMS before. I'm trying to laugh at it and say "Oh I see....so you're just gonna make me feel like I'm on fire? You're really going that far? *Chuckle*" It's actually absurd. But I got rid of the "fire" within 30 minutes. And today my legs feel "cold", like water is on them. This...

My anger is unmatched. I've become a truly resentful and rageful person. I hide it well. I'm outgoing and I can pretend. But I'm also a trained fighter, who grew up a street kid, with an abusive Father, and a lifetime of constant disappointments and failures and self hatred with PTSD I have no...

Funny you say this, because that's exactly what's going on. And the "burning" that was in my legs all night.....is now in my right arm. TMS is FUN!!!

Yeah, this time for me is different. I'm having more "doubts", like I "did something" but I actually had nothing. No injury, just maybe sitting too long. But I went years doing that. (I'm a music Producer and Engineer and own online retail shops) And I'm watching so many videos now and...

When I cured myself of Chronic Pain before (I'm back after 17 years)...I remember the "FINAL THOUGHT" to my TMS right before it left. It was essentially "What if you live like this for the rest of your life?" It was the only question I hadn't asked, and the scariest question I had ever asked...

I will try, but I remember that I "took on" other people's pain when I tried to help. It was a bummer. I had to completely walk away from you guys, and it sucked. I really would love to help but it seems I'm maybe not cut out for it. I will think about it though. I seem to have a better...

I know what needs to be done. I'm already improving. As I said I am good at "TMS work". Just shocked it came back, but not shocked at all. And ALLLLL the signs were there. Thank you.
