    I hear that. I’m compulsive about everything. You’ll get there!

    Shoulder Impingement / RSI / Thoracic Outlet Syndrome /

    Overuse injuries are real and so not everything can be attributed to TMS. I too have had similar issues skeletal wise. You said you have been off work, but have you rested as you would ‘rest’ as injury? Have you done the right rehab? This is assuming there is a physical overuse injury going on...

    TMS?

    Sounds like TMS in every way. The very fact you cried in frustration at there being no findings shows me that. I did exactly the same many years ago. You said that there being no findings means there was/is no answer…that is your answer. Right there. When our suffering becomes so bad, we WANT...

    Symptoms increasing as I sleep better and do emotional work

    You could be doubting, somewhere deep, the fact this is TMS then it hits you harder than before. I always used to liken it to a little kid. A badly behaved one. That first time they scream and shout parents might give in for an easy life. That continues as they grow but parents start being a...

    Do I have TMS?

    TMS and in a lot of ways this absolutely mirrors my experience. i have had 2 reconstructions of my shoulder. Around September 2018 my shoulder started giving me some trouble out of nowhere. I went for treatment. As the weeks passed I started to notice a slight popping sound every time I turned...

    Is POTS and CFS/ME be helped by this program?

    CFS, from my reading, and I have only been reading about TMS for maybe 6 months properly, is almost certainly TMS. just yesterday I actually finished reading a book called ‘it’s all in your head’ by Suzanne O’Sullivan. She is specialises in neurological disorders but most of her work has been...

As some may know from other posts I’m quite a way down the road and feeling much better. tiny bit of background- throughout my TMS struggle I have always been able to engage in exercise, it has actually been my only time during the day...

    How come people with back conditions are more likely to have back pain?

    I would reverse this; spondylolisthesis and herniated discs make you statistically more likely to have back pain. do those conditions make you statically more likely? It depends which way you view the statistics. Many studies have shown no correlation. Statistically more likely based on what...

    Getting out in extreme weather

    Fantastic. There is something animalistic about getting out in ‘undesirable’ conditions. It’s like some switch goes off. The same with open water swimming and the cold therapy of it all.

    Happy Friday everyone

    Hi James, I definitely think embracing minimises it’s aim at times and helps. I just find there is a fine line with everything when it comes to TMS. I’ve never had a back problem. My issues revolve around neck, shoulder, arms and hands to varying degrees. The exercise for me just keeps me...
