I had experienced dizziness in the spring of 2024 after a period of stress. I came across Audiologist Yonit Arthur on YouTube who has a free set of exercises on her website, do a search for "The Steady Coach." There is also a paid membership to go deeper, which I paid for, and it was very...

That's pretty sweet!

Rereading my post makes me smile. Because my symptoms come and go like the wind when I get worked up, those have been "caught in the act!" It makes sense to me that a new one should be added to replace the ones that aren't working anymore.

Thanks, Walt. I have started the SEP. You're right, I am catastrophizing. I have a friend who has MS, and i hate that so much for her.

I.am.scared. I have had every TMS symptom I've experienced, yet, flare up today. While I was driving last night, I was driving around a dangerous curve. I am always worried about cars coming down and meeting me on this curve. I felt an electric shock go up my spine and hum in my ears. I've...

Andy B, thank you for your responses. Yes, this is a newfound awareness, which is intimidating for me, but relieving to put my finger on something. I will be looking for the "Soul Without Shame" book. I have very little self compassion. I usually worry more about what others think and...

Stella, thank you! That rang true with me...you saying you "see" how you let others down but hurt when you don't say anything. Wow! Thanks for the encouragement.

Walt, Thank you for your response and advice. It's interesting how those old memories stay with us and rear their heads later in life. I am working on forgiving all levels with my dad. It helps alot when I think of what he went through as a child and young adult. His father passed away...

So the question on day 1 was essentially "What would life be without TMS?" I want to run. I want to run races. I ran track in high school, but I know I could do it, again. It would be me having enough energy to play with my boys. My oldest son is a pitcher, and I love to play catch with him. I...
