Hello Timbercat, Just thought I'd join in here. I have started having problems with lightheadedness within the last month. Thankfully it has not gotten to the point of dizziness,etc. that you are feeling but is nevertheless causing a lot of extra anxiety, to the point of an all out panic attack...

I have to agree with you that unless someone has been through TMS it's probably difficult for them to understand what's going on with you. My husband is also very supportive but he tells me periodically that even though he is trying to be understanding, he doesn't really understand what I am...

Thank you colls100, You're right. I have been trying to view this as a good sign (even though at times it's making me feel so much worse). I have noticed that there are times when I feel like things are slowly improving and other times when I feel like I'm stuck in the same old rut. I decided...

Thanks Joe, I do use the oil. My research and my doctor both agreed that it is the safest way to go. I don't take a huge dose but plan to get off it as quickly as possible. I definitely need to get the pain to calm down a bit first though so I have decided to try getting help from a therapist...

Thank you JoeHealingTms and bird set free, I appreciate the good advice. I started taking Cannabis for the pain a while ago and am pretty sure that is the cause of the lightheadedness ( or my brain is using this as an excuse to make me think so). I have an appointment soon and will ask my...

I have been doing the TMS program for almost 2 months now and things are definitely getting worse. I now have spells of lightheadedness every day that are bringing on panic attacks to go with the constant miserable pain. I know that the fact that things are amping up is supposed to be a good...

I know what you mean. I have constant back pain so I found it frustrating at first when people would talk about when the pain (or whatever) "comes on" you should do ..... I just decided that I needed to be mindful all the time and do journaling (usually first thing in the morning or just before...

Hi colls100, I can sympathize with you to some extent. I have a problem with lightheadedness as well...not to the extent that you do but enough that it does affect me. Mine only started a short time ago. Out of the blue one morning I suddenly felt so lightheaded I thought I was going to pass...

I know how debilitating fear can be. It 's every bit as difficult to deal with as the pain. I do a fair amount of fluctuating back and forth between hope and despair as well but over the past few days I've been better at keeping the hope alive. I have read a few of the TMS books and found them...

Hi Davideus85, So enjoyed reading this post. What a wonderful idea to write this letter to yourself. I can certainly relate to a lot of what you have written. Excellent advice!!! Your Postscript made me laugh. It felt so good to do so because I seldom laugh these days and I've decided to make...

Hi Elena, I can sympathize with how you are feeling. I am fairly new to this idea of TMS but I am positive that I have it. My main issue is with back pain. Sitting, standing and pretty much every other position is painful for me and has been for 15 years now. I am certainly not an expert at...

When I started the program I decided to do both of them at once. The TMS Recovery Program will give you a very good background in what is going on with you. It has a great deal of general information on the basic ideas for various tools you can use to overcome TMS. The Daily Educational...

Hi Davideus85, I have been following your posts on the site. Thank you for sharing this. I really think that all the reading I have been doing from other people's posts has helped me a lot. I haven't had a reduction in pain yet, in fact mine seems to be getting worse so I can't really relate to...

One of the best natural cures for Candida is Oil of Oregano. (It cures a huge number of infections.) I was told this by a Naturopathic Doctor who I visited a few years ago for a bladder/UT infection. I didn't want to take the medicine the doctor prescribed because antibiotics always cause a...
