    Could use some advice: post-concussion symptoms or TMS?

    Update: a month later, and I still have terrible brain fog. But no other post-concussion symptoms. And during that month, ALL other TMS symptoms that are always a part of my life -- stomach pain, chest pain, pelvic pain -- have disappeared. I've got to believe that means the brain fog is TMS as...

    Could use some advice: post-concussion symptoms or TMS?

    I'll be as brief as I can. I've had TMS for 15 years: pelvic pain, stomach pain, nerve burning, back pain, chest pain, you name it. But...in 2008, I had a very real brain aneurysm, and was saved via surgery. I was fine both cognitively and emotionally immediately after the surgery, but...

    Has battling TMS ever interfered with your sleep?

    Lately, I've been doing a great job of being apathetic to my pelvic pain during the day. But at night, I fall asleep, and then if I wake up at night, it's like my brain takes all the perseverating it would normally do during the day and focuses it on that one spot of pain, and it's ALL I think...

    Could use some advice: What do you do when you know why you have pain, but it still won't go away?

    Man, you said a lot of really poignant stuff here about marriage. My situation is sort of the opposite of yours. I married a wonderful woman, but have known, deep in my heart, that we never had a physical connection. Like...ever. Even before we were married we never clicked, and I was never...

    Could use some advice: What do you do when you know why you have pain, but it still won't go away?

    Thanks to everyone who has replied. I'm doing my best, but as you all point out, the fact that I'm even asking the question shows that I'm not indifferent, and I need to be indifferent. It's just so hard to ignore, particularly with pelvic pain, and particularly when I spend 10-20 hours a week...

    Could use some advice: What do you do when you know why you have pain, but it still won't go away?

    I've dealt with TMS for 15 years, since 2 months after I got married. Started with terrible pelvic pain, but I "beat" that by using Sarno's techniques and actually became a professional cyclist, after being told to NEVER sit on a bike saddle again. The last few years, I've had all different TMS...

    Doubting TMS (not in general, but at the moment)

    I've been a ten-year TMS sufferer. I've gone through pelvic pain, nerve burning, shoulder pain, and most recently, terrible stomach pain. But...in 2018, I had terrible back pain that I THOUGHT was TMS, only for an MRI to show not only a herniated disc, but a RUPTURED disc. Back to the...

    Constant stomach pain/acid reflux: Symptom Imperative

    Hi all. I have only posted once or twice on this site, but I'd love some insight from those who'd like to offer it. I've dealt with various forms of TMS for over a decade: it started with terrible pelvic pain but I've also had stomach ulcers, back pain, nerve burning in my feet and hip pain at...

    An amazing example of the mind-body connection and conditions responses

    I'll spare you all of the details, but I've suffered with various TMS symptoms since 2006. In 2009, I tore a labrum in my hip and was advised that my hips were arthritic and dysplastic. I started mountain bike racing, and eventually earned a pro license in 2017. Last year, during a period of...
