I thought I heard before that looking for ways that the pain behaves weirdly or in a way that doesn’t make logical sense is a good way to prove to yourself that it’s coming from your brain. Like keeping a notes tab of all the times it’s done something weird like that

Hey all, My step counting app on my phone has actually helped me see something that I’ve been wondering about for the past few days. For context, I’ve had bilateral knee pain since about a year ago and it started as a repetitive stress strain but it’s been this long and the pain is still there...

Hey all, I promised a success story to go with my last post that was more just me looking for support, so here we go! I just graduated yesterday from university and earned my BA + a minor AND honors (Magna Cum Laude). This is already a big huge accomplishment for most people but to me it’s...

well if it’s NOT TMS then I don’t have anything to fear because the pain doesn’t mean I’m hurting myself. Like I said above tho, it is challenging to do the mental work because it’s a skill that is hard to do, and learning any skill that is hard to do is “scary” to our brains especially if it’s...

oh that’s not what I meant, maybe I worded it weirdly. I mean that by the time the ppl on a lot of the success stories found OUT about TMS, they had already tried everything else. Or, they were suggested it in the past by someone at some point but totally disregarded it/didn’t look into it at...

Well in order for it to NOT be, it would have to mean that somehow I developed many issues in many parts of my body in a row (ears, sacrum/SI joints/low back, knees, elbows/wrists). If I were going to go completely physical and throw TMS out the window, this is the explanation I would let the...

I’m with you, this is exactly it. There’s no success story I’ve read where the person’s FIRST thing they tried was TMS work. Most of them say they got checked out by multiple different doctors, had dozens of tests (I already did that part for the most part), and tried all different methods for...

Ok I’m not sure if those questions were meant to be literal or rhetorical lol so I’ll go through them one by one here: -how things are going with TMS work - the only thing I’ve been doing that could count (but isn’t focused on TMS specifically) is going to mental therapy for a while. It DOES...

Hey guys, It’s been a while since I wrote here but I wanted to give an update on stuff. I don’t like it myself when ppl say they’re going to try something and then never come back and say how it went, and ya’ll have been so kind and supportive to me so I want to give back lol. Maybe this might...

oh I don’t have pain in my outer ears, it IS (or at least it FEELS like) in my eardrums. It feels like it comes from deep inside my inner ear. And it’s specifically in response to loud noises. And yeah the other stuff you just said feels very familiar to me too, the pain patterns and all of that

I think I just got excited because I saw someone mention ear symptoms and I don’t usually see that here lol. Ngl I have a hunch the ear symptoms are the MOST likely to be TMS. I don’t think I realized at the time tho HOW much of a negative impact spending all that time on forums about it (like...

Heyy I’m almost a year and a half into my experience with weird unexplainable pain and have had have had pain show up in almost every place you mentioned. Currently have pain in my pelvis/hips, low back, knees, elbows/wrists, and my ears. The ears are what I’m most curious about for you tho...

ngl this is one of the most convincing answers I’ve read for some reason. I THOUGHT that the beds were making a difference, because a couple weeks ago I had a “better” week with my arms/legs while sleeping at school and at my dads where both beds have foam toppers on them, but then when I slept...
