Thank you so much for your understanding and helpful suggestions. Just knowing that someone understands helps a little.

Hi Everyone, I haven't posted for years. When my TMS symptons began about 15 years ago, I was around a lot and the support really helped. I've had long periods of doing really well, with a couple of relapses around my mum's illness and death. My main symptom was migraine, which I've never...

Hi Ellen! Thanks for your words of encouragement.

Thanks ladies, much appreciated.

Hi Everyone, Some of you may remember me, I was very active on the site a few years ago. I was in a real mess before I discovered TMS and with a lot of soul searching and belief in the TMS process I got my life back from fibro/chronic migraine diagnosis and the medical mismanagement of both of...

Tom I forgot to ask, how did you turn the corner and get yourself free of TMS?

Hey Tom most mornings I wake up feeling like I remodelled a house during the night !! I'm sorry your brother gave you a hard time. My husband blows hot and cold with me, sometimes he's great and really understanding and sometimes he's a complete heartless shit.

What a brilliant insightful post. I couldn't agree more. I know I don't have enough pleasure in my life it's just hard to find the energy to do anything. I have to work full time, visit my mum in nursing home, my dad who is still independent at 89 years old thankfully, keep house and take care...

He thinks it's bullshit. He's about as far away from a TMS personality as you could imagine, so doesn't accept the concept. He thinks I should just pull myself together and says "stop reading all that crap, it's making you worse." Sometimes I think he has a point, because I'm finding it so hard...

I'm in the same place as you. I don't have any advice, I just wanted to let you know you're not alone. It took me a year to come off Lyrica it was causing bad side effects and I had a protracted withdrawal so be careful when you come off it. Best advice I can give you is once you know it's TMS...

I don't have the words to express how much I value your support. You always get right to the heart of things. I'm sitting alone my husband is shut in the spare room playing his guitar, he's had enough of my problems. The thing that has caused this flair up is immense pressure at work and fact...

Hi Plumb, I've been through the new Alan Gordon stuff several times, but it hasn't made a difference. I'm constantly searching for my "thing" but nothing clicks. I'm more afraid than I've ever been, it's got me in a death grip this time. I've been in severe pain before, but nothing like this. My...

Got my diagnosis, "inflammation" of my sacroiliac joint causing nerve irritation.... TMS then. I have no clue what to do about it I can't run away from my life. I've journalled myself stupid, I know exactly why I am who I am and what is behind my reactions. This crap has got me beat I'm 100%...
