Thanks Xara. Garlic might be worth a try (much to the dismay of my wife), but I doubt I have any dietary deficiencies that could cause this. I train on my bike or in the gym around 8-10 hours per week (less during the off-season), some of that high intensity but mostly moderate to low, so...

Hi all, I posted about my TMS situation earlier this year, and this forum was extremely helpful and kind towards helping me heal. So I am posting again, asking for more help. My original post is here...

I wanted to give an update for those of you who might be following this thread. I had my appointment with my TMS doctor. He looked through my previous imaging and blood test results and did a quick physical exam (all of which are normal). Then for the next two hours, we went through my life...

This will be a longer post, so here’s the "TL;DR": Can TMS develop without any emotional distress or psychological issues? If so, how do I cure it if I've got no emotional issues to resolve? That being said, here is my story. I have been experiencing low back pain since last March, which...
