I struggled with acne for 20 years. Even now in my late 30's I have mild acne (but that doesn't bother me anymore). I would say that maybe some cases of acne are TMS, but in general no, it's not a classic TMS. Sure, stress can make it worse, I experienced that myself, but in my case main cause...

Maybe he got better. I was in the same boat as eskimo, similiar age, mentality etc. I still have my symptoms but my inner life got so much better in the last few years that I'm certain my syptoms will get better. I sometimes even laugh at them because I have two main symptoms (jaw/teeth pain and...

Haha, I'm 100% the third one, without any doubt I'm combination of "romantizing" my symptoms (and past!) and over-thinking. Good thing that the older I get, the less I get stressed about things and that part of my brain that is like "the Dude" from Big Lebowski gets bigger. I was so anxious in...

That's a great thread, I was mildly surprised upon seeing that I posted in it, as I don't remember that. It was "just" 3 years ago, but now I see how I kinda believed that I have TMS but really I was living under "tyranny" of my fearful brain, always checking if symptoms are not progressing or...

Thanks for the update, I feel like I'm on similiar journey. I was more active on forum in 2019 and 2020, I thought that I sorted out what TMS really is, but my symptoms never improved (pain in abdomen and jaw). On the contrary, I've experienced some transient symptoms like pain in the neck/back...

I have exactly the same thing, it's one of my two main symptoms. It started in 2011. I propably have sensitive teeth to, they hurt when I eat something cold, but sensitive teeth shouldn't hurt ALL the time. Also, they should get at least a little bit better with treatment. Trigeminal neuralgia...

Thanks, I know about dr Hanscom for a long time, but lately I've been interested more in his and dr Schubiner work. I quess we all have to find our own way, for example Nicole Sachs is great, but her teachings and her way of journaling is something completely not for me as I discovered after...

You are not the only one, one of my main symptoms is pain caused by bloatness. I also, well... fart a lot. But those farts are like consistent 99% of pure air, and don't even stink. It makes me feel better for a second or two, and then they comes again. Dunno what to say, I only know that I've...

I like my job and it's really fulfilling. Of course somethimes is stressful, but every job is like this. I'm from central europe, I've been in therapy for years in the past, it didn't helped. It's just so depressing, doing what I thought will help me and getting worse and worse. I'm 34 I want to...

I've been checked by 'eye doctor', he said my eyes are healthy, I just have astigmatism with a minor myopia(the same I had when I was 18, I don't wear glasses because it's just -0.75). When it comes to other new symptoms like pain in knees, neck, back I'm almost 100% sure they are TMS because...

From what I understand - no. Let's say you've got injury. Or even not, let's say you've got an upset stomach. Then you starting to think about that stomach, be sad about it, be angry about, think maybe it's cancer? Mayber it's Crohn disease? You go to doctors, they find nothing. But you still...

Thank you for all your answers and help, it's clear to me how much knowledge you have when it comes to TMS and health in general. My old symptoms were of course checked hundreds of time in years long passed, new ones are quite new(most of them ~half year to few weeks) and I just haven't had time...

Thank you for answer. Sadly I'm getting worse physically. I journal but not like teached by TMS practicioners but by writing down how my day went, about my fears and emotions. My problems were for years jaw/teeth pain and stomach pain. Now I have problems with my knees, back and most fearsome...

Thanks you RogueWave that's very helpful but I still have problems with some of those points. For example Self-diagnosis. Isn't most of us here self-diagnosed? My pain started in 2011 and after loads and loads of tests, medicines, doctor visits I just assumed in 2017/2018 I have problems with...

I wonder if my new symptoms that surfaced themselves since I started journaling every day is more TMS or just my body giving up. They came seemingly out of nowhere but how can I know if they are TMS too or result of sedentary lifestyle?
