Thanks so much! Today the pain disappeared from my right side and is now on my left. But I am a little anxious because I have to bring some things to my husband, who is now sitting in an emergency room, since the ICU unit is full. But I can definitely see that stress, panic and anxiety...

I'm beginning to see that what you're saying all makes incredible sense. I had to call 911 twice yesterday. My husband is in the ICU today it was a very stressful day for me. My whole right side is hurting today. So I guess that's where under stress, tension and anxiety, the pain tends to be. I...

Many, many years ago I had clicking in my jaw, along with left upper arm pain. I also had tingling in my fingertips. MY dentist told me I had TMJ (i think some may call it TMJD now). GIven that diagnosis,I guess I always blamed TMJ for all my pain, since I was told it can cause pain...

Do u suffer from TMJ too? Yes, I know some of it is caused by my TMJ. I clench a lot, especially when stressed. I wake up with pain, Despite wearing a nightguard. But I've had TMJ for years and years but never had head pain. IT wasn't until I had pain going down the right or left side...

Hyper-analyze is what I've always done. I"m so glad I stumbled upon TMS or I'd still be analyzing every movement I make. I thank u and others for helping me to see I was just continuing to fuel the pain by doing that.

hello Jake--I have TMJ, which causes me to clench under stress and my jaw to click. But I've learned many people have that and don't suffer like I do. I have pain in my body that moves from one side to another, jumps around to my neck, etc. But the absolute scariest for me is the head pain...

Thank you. the last few days I've noticed that when my right side flares, I would look for answers--what did I do? Which in turn, added the fuel to make it worse. THe last several days when the right side flared a little, I didn't' get the same kind of off balance feeling in my head like I...

I"m beginning to see the shift in pain in real time. I woke up with pain on left side (as usual) then awhile later it shifted to the right side. I had a busy morning, putting away a lot of groceries. I sat down to relax and eat and boom, the pain shifted to my left side neck and hip...

That gives me so much hope. Thanks so much. I"ll watch Dr. schubiners videos. I did buy his book but haven't read it yet. I'm currently reading a book, suggested by cactus Flower, called Help for your nerves and also bought another one from Claire weekes called Peace from Nervous Suffering...

Thank u so much for your suggestions. IT made me cry when u wrote "that in this place u absolutely fit in. We are all here for the same reason." Those words struck at my core and my tears felt like healing tears. I do feel understood here. UNlike my father's words, when my mother told him...

Thank you for that information on the extinction bursts. I"ll check that out and read the posts of the others who have been helpful for you. I think what's the most scary for me is the head pain that I feel, when my left side flares up. It causes me to feel off-balance. That's the scariest...

I wish the best for you too. Sharing your story, your continued struggles, maybe can both help both of us. IT's awful scary when you feel like you're all alone in this. THere have been many days that I'm scared of looking at those deep emotional wounds and when I do, my body hurts worse...

I thank you so much for sharing your struggles and making me feel that you understand. I"m going through the same things you wrote about--the painful and severe symptoms. The fear u had toward ur symptoms, same as me. The difficult yrs of ur life--just like me. Ur symptoms increasing...

I want to thank you so much for sharing what you did and for giving me suggestions on how to proceed. I don't think I could go through all of this on my own, without people like yourself, helping people like me. Thank you again. i don't feel so alone in all of this.
