Yes! This is my most recent. I feel like tms always tries to take away things I love. First it was coffee with heart palpitations and stomach pain now it’s trying with wine. I just am ignoring at this point. Very annoying.

Thank you, Baseball65! I appreciate your response.

Thank you for your response! I like what you said about TMS eventually revealing itself. That’s a good point and something to watch for.

Hello. I’m needing some help sorting through my tms experiences. With bladder/ic symptoms the less I feared the symptoms the better I got! I’d challenge fears and instantly see improvement. But with visual migraine, when I don’t fear the symptoms-wham! I’m hit with one. This is conditioning me...

I meant “how could I not be feeling them” as in my feelings are always so big and present and flooding that I feel like I am very aware of them. But maybe because they are so big I’m trying to reel them in and I’m frightened by them so I must not be allowing them fully. I’ve been labeled as...

@AnonymousNick Yes, I think you’re right. Maybe lack of control. Inability to keep bad things from happening. The powerlessness Im anticipating feeling being in my mother’s presence. Financial stress. Could be so many things. I feel like my emotions are always SO big and running wild- how can I...

Thank you, Jan. And you are right. Just the words I needed to hear. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Also isn’t my brain trying to keep me safe by constantly finding things to fear? I just had a health scare last month that had me terrified I had breast cancer. I get through that after receiving good news to find myself overly terrified over a damn migraine. Why am I so scared? I know my...

I think you are right but in some ways ignorance was bliss. I’d have a visual migraine, attribute it to stress, forget about it and it would be gone for a year. Now that I know about tms, I fear that my brain can and will do anything!! I’m terrified of tms. It holds me hostage in my own body...

I can imagine how difficult that was to do! I cannot figure out what my brain is wanting to repress. I kind of wonder if it’s simply the news of a celebrity dying of a stroke at a young age that triggered my fear of migraine being connected. I’m betting fear of the symptom is the culprit- does...

Thank you, AnonymousNick. But why after TMS knowledge do you think your migraines have increased? This is the same for me. I swear knowing about TMS has made me worse with all tms symptoms and I can’t figure out why! Maybe because I know I’m causing it which just puts more stress and pressure on...

I’ve been having visual migraines. Ive been doing much better and feeling optimistic the last few days just to be hit with one today. I handled it SO well- was positive and fairly calm, reassured myself it was harmless and only TMS- well an hour later the visual disturbance hit again!!! Twice in...

Fantastic!
