I totally agree, I still have ongoing nerve pain periods but I try to remember my nervous system reads my desire to be well as fear which in my case releases emotion by way of physical pain ( always in the same place as my original shingles pain ) . It’s a spiral Effect and it’s hard to stop...
Thanks so much for the reply , I agree totally with what you say. It’s been 3 years now and it’s good to hear someone talk about this issue. I’ve read and learnt a lot about TMS fusing this time. The loop is a good way to explain the way the nerve pain comes and goes depending on the stressors...
I know this was posted in 2017 , but when I just read it for the first time it was almost as if you were describing my experience with shingles over the past 4 years. It was great to hear Steve Ozanich view about this which has given me hope that it’s a TMS issue.
Thanks you
