How did they diagnose you with PN if you don't mind me asking? Ive had two clean NCS and EMG's - they did suspect Small Fiber Neuropathy at first, but have since walked that back. They have no clue what's causing my twitching, numbness, cramping, stiffness, etc. Simply clueless

Any improvement on this?

How are you doing?

Beautifully written Miffy - Thank you so much for your encouragement.

Thank you for your thoughts yet again Miffy. This is my toughest symptom to be indifferent about - I really try hard to, but gosh its a hard one - when your stomach drops out and you almost stumble. I just try to remind myself that I ran 7 miles the day before and therefore I'm healthy and...

Stuck Right Leg I meant - lol. Tried deleting Title, but couldn't figure it out.

I posted a few days ago and well on my way to accepting TMS. I won't do a post for every symptom, trust me, but one that really baffles me is my right leg. At times, when I walk, my right leg hesitates (gets stuck) during my stride. My stomach falls out from under me and it feels like I'm...

Please don't be embarrassed - it gives those of us struggling a lot of hope. So glad you got to do something like Mt. Whitney - thats just fantastic. I was such an active guy - it really defined my life to be honest. I think my brain knows that being less active is the worst thing that could...

Thanks you. Lots of pain today post run. Tight tendons, muscle twitching, etc. I think its due to blood flow changes to my appendage when I exercise. When I'm at rest, TMS is limiting the blood supply to my appendages (Raynauds diagnosis basically confirms it). When I run they get filled...

I admit, I was in a state of extreme fear for almost 3 years. The last year I've calmed down as I finally became convinced I didn't have a terminal illness. And I've got part of my life back - which is great and I'm deeply appreciative. It's just so strange. After reading your post today I...

Really appreciate your thoughts. Yes, mine was like a moderate progression throughout my body and as a good diagnosis became more elusive my anxiety (which I never really had before) shot through the roof - especially when a recommended internal medicine doctor shared his fears about me having...

I agree. And even my neurologist at Mayo was open to Sarnos work and hinted that there could be a mind/body connection. When one of the diagnosis were "Tension Myalgia" - I was like, hmmm....that sounds a lot like TMS and I even noticed Sarno mentioned it in his book. Lyme as well. t Can you...

Thank you Miffy. Yes, I have ceased going to anymore doctors and practitioners. I appreciate your thoughts as it helps build the confidence that TMS is what I've been dealing with all these years. A damn shame people have to to go to these lengths to find out what they're dealing with.

Hi All, Such a long story, but I'll try to be brief. Four years ago, I was a very active single guy at 44 when I was struck by a mysterious "illness" after never be sick my entire adult life. Started having pain behind my right shoulder - nerve type. Within a month of that, I started having...
