    Are there other forums for TMS? Why such lack of resources?

    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...

    Are there other forums for TMS? Why such lack of resources?

    After 17 years of being pain free...unfortunately...I'm back

    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...

    After 17 years of being pain free...unfortunately...I'm back

    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...

    After 17 years of being pain free...unfortunately...I'm back

    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...
