Hello, All--In my recent struggling with TMS, I was inspired to paraphrase the famous Hamlet soliloquy. (Apologies to Shakespeare!) Hope you can relate or pardon my wanderings! To Be or Not To Be for TMS: To be or not to be. That is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the...

It’s a complex thing and yes I am well aware long-Covid is also TMS/ neuroplastic pain. Have listened to many of the Nichole Sachs podcasts and lots of others and their great recovery stories. I hear exactly what you’re saying Diana-M and appreciate and empathize with your background so much...

Thanks! About the time back pain was getting manageable, long Covid seems to have intensified and kicked all the above into high gear. Seems like a coach or guide would be good at this overwhelming point.

Question for helpful long-time members. I see somewhere in the threads that Dr. Alan Gordon had made available some Pain Reprocessing tutorials. Also noticed a while back something about his having made a few counselors available for a more affordable price thru TMS wiki? I am not sure how to...

Things are moving quickly from one pain area to a new one. Now that my back is feeling better, no longer a worry, and I made the decision to stop OTC pain pills because I think they're causing digestive unrest (been there, done that before) and not really helping, my body keeps morphing from...

Valid points all around. Thanks. I’ve not had the same left pain today but a whole host of other symptoms. A firestorm for sure but lots of moving forward, good journaling and read, read, read. Aging for sure mixed with some post-Covid and lots of change, prepared to avoid alarm and hoping to...

Well put!! Stress based inflammation covers so much TMS. Also in my case, the logic of how easily back pain can become front pain and the familiarity of how this felt on the other side many years ago helps me ease off on the panic that so easily takes over. Inflammation with no known cause—...

Wow yes to all that. The trip with family was uncomfortable but I wouldn’t have missed it for anything. The grandkids were so happy and my sons are always comforting to be around. I missed out on some hiking and a few other opportunities but also enjoyed some surprises I wouldn’t have otherwise...

Thanks! Haven't had much luck with that search but I'll keep trying.

Thank you both so much for your past responses. Happy to report that my back pain has improved considerably in the past 3 weeks. Have worked on the assumption that it's either TMS or something very healable, taken down anxiety a notch with somatic meditation, worked on pain reprocessing and...

Well put! I’ve had similar awareness about emotional issues that are being overlooked, but even with delving into them, I tend to panic at the physical, especially when it’s intense and scary and question whether I’m just trying to ignore reality! GTK about the Structured Program. Thanks so much...

I will definitely look you up. I would love to work with a TMS MD, class, coach but none nearby. I will get over this hurdle too. Lots of very encouraging words and expectations from even my conventional medical people. The consensus is that I’m essentially a very healthy person and everything...

Thanks!! Indeed I’ve already given that news to my husband and kids!! Now it’s just dealing with internal work that has to be done and anticipating a good time despite not feeling at my best. And reminding myself it’s just temporary!
