I had this. I actually still have the twitching. Doesn't bother me anymore. It used to scare the crap out of me. The only thing that really led to recovery was the neurologist doing an emg and telling me that I had "textbook" results. It was only then I could be confident that it was TMS. But...

Thanks Steve! I was thinking from your book, this might be an example of phase 2, "blood in the water TMS", thanks for giving me that dental example..

Hello, I'm wondering about dental pain manifesting itself as TMS? I went to get a simple filling in December (no pain at all), and then after the filling, I've been in excruciating pain ever since. The endodontist ended up doing 2 root canals on that tooth (#18), that didn't help. So he had #19...

I've had a sore tongue for 10 months. It comes in waves, but it's pretty much always there. It's gotten a little better over that duration. I also have health anxiety if that helps.

Great post Eve, and hang in there Rob! You've got the testing done that assures you that you don't have some horrible disease. And I believe that's the way you can TRULY get to 100% belief that this is TMS. And once you get there, you'll get to a place where what you're feeling won't bother you...

Well, here we are 4 months later, the twitching, the weak hands/feet are still here. But now I've got myself a great doctor, which I didn't have before. This lady isn't a TMS doctor, but you can really tell she cares about her patients, and listens. So we basically started over, and she ran a...

If you let go of that feeling of needing more tests today, then you would be about 3-4 days behind me. Just last week, I came to the realization that when enough doctors look at you, and can't really tell you what's going on, then maybe it's time to accept what they're saying -- and go with the...

I guess I’m looking for a little encouragement, because I feel about as low as I can get right about now. For the past two months, I’ve had trouble speaking – I go to speak a sentence, and a sensation of some sort pops up on my tongue, and makes it so I can’t speak fluidly any longer. I also...

Thank-you for your replies. If I take your collective responses, and summarize them -- I think it might look something like this: There is still a lot we don't know about how TMS works. But what we do know is that people are different, and you can't really compare your healing to somebody...

I have a question that sounds like criticism of Sarno’s theory, but honestly it’s not. I genuinely want to know the answer so that I can heal and I hope your replies help others who may struggle with this. I’m re-listening to The Divided Mind right now, and I guess I’m not listening well...
