Thanks Jan this is great advice and ties in with what Dan Buglio said on one of the videos I watched the other day - you are who you tell your brain you are the most!

I could write a book about the things I saw that night. In my mind, the nurses told me they were robotic representations of different deadly viruses that they'd released into the hospital to study them. I found it all fascinating at the time. To be fair I'd been awake for around 72 hours and...

@clarinetpath @Cactusflower - I cannot begin to tell you how much this has enlightened me. This morning I woke up without a headache for the first time in six months! I also had a complete tantrum when I was getting the kids ready for school and they wouldn't behave. All the rage came out. This...

Well that's the biggest stressor (thank you for this counselling by the way!) I've been been worried about being the main wage earner for along time and what would happen if I lost my job! I have a GP appointment tomorrow, which I booked weeks ago. Primarily to discuss the topiramate (which I...

I feel like I should now add that I had a severe bout of sciatica in September which I'm only just recovering from, and some stomach, chest pain and neck pain more recently. Haha. It's almost like I'd forgotten about TMS. bangheada

Also good points! I'm dyspraxic - and though it doesn't affect me anything like as much as it did when I was a kid, when things change at short notice it really messes me up. Even something small. And trying to organise anything is also very stressful - I'm fine once I get on holiday (usually)...

Firstly, thank you @ChronicVince for your kind words, those are really useful tips and have helped to ground me. @clarinetpath very interesting thank you - it had crossed my mined that the whole thing could possibly have been TMS but I had brushed off this thought. As I say, I was in a much...

Hi All, Further to my post on the support sub forum, which I appreciate was perhaps as bit too medical, I wondered if it'd be possible to have a more general discussion about how to know when TMS takes over from real illness (I'm now something like 99.9% sure that what I have is TMS and not a...

Hello All, You've helped me so much before - and I'm desperately hoping you'll be able to again. Sorry for the long story and if some of it's irrelevant! Not sure where to start the story - essentially, in the past, ~15 years ago I had around 5 years of horrific back pain, discovered Sarno/TMS...

Just seen this on TV in the UK. Sleeping badly will damage your neck and spine etc. It's not surprising people end up with TMS is it? Makes you wonder how people managed for hundreds of thousands of years without beds.

Yes, that sounds about right. Every time they scream I feel everything tense up. Very perceptive, thank you.

Discovered Dan's numerous videos on TMS on YouTube yesterday. I think they're absolutely brilliant. He's so calm and thoughtful and seems to cover pretty much every angle. Not seen it mentioned anywhere, though presumably it must be. https://youtube.com/c/PainFreeYou
