Acceptance is not going to relieve the pain right away, it's a process; but when you have the pain you just need to accept that it is there at the time and not fight it. Self love and care are most important during this time.

Thank you Andy, I appreciate that. i will do that soon :)

I also agree with Andy B, that you should try the structured education program on this site, it is an excellent tool.

I really had to think about how to explain the 'no fear' thing. The only way I can describe it, is by a complete change in mindset. Ignoring the pain, or the episodes, never worked for me. That actually never worked for any of my TMS symptoms, although I do know they work for others, but I had...

I suffered from Trigeminal Neuraligia for around 2 years. At it's worst point I had around 20-30 episodes a day, I couldn't eat, let wind, water, clothing, etc touch my face. I know it was definitely a TMS symptom. The only thing that worked was when I stopped fearing it. I know it's easier said...

Kalo, I will private message you tomorrow

Hi Kalo, I'm truly sorry that my post scared you, that was in no way my intention. I just wanted you to know that I believe 100% that even in the case of a physical abnormality, TMS can take hold of it and turn it into a monster. All of your research about finding people that had bone on bone...

Hi Kalo, you're story sounds very much like mine. Hopefully I can offer some advice, as I have dealt with this for almost 17 years. I too suffered disc displacement from chewing gum (although I think my jaw was already compromised from wisdom teeth surgery years before) ...my jaw locked up due...

I don't know a whole lot about back pain. My TMS has struck just about every other part of my body. But, what's interesting is, the only actual structural diagnoses I have is in my TMJ. Around 20 years ago my jaw suffered from ankylosis, it eventually completely fused together. That was a...

Thank you so much Baseball and Stradivarius for helping me an sharing your stories!! It helps me so much to know that I'm not alone in my OCD's and fears. I have had different ones my whole life and each one has been pretty equal in keeping me paralyzed with fear. I ordered Schubiner's book...

My husband has even told me that I don't need pain, because what I suffer from scares me enough..

Thank you so so much!! He helped to really confirm what I've been searching for. I've always had a suspicion that things like hypochondria and even eating disorders could be TMS. My mom had pretty bad body dysmorphic disorder and i saw a lot of TMS personality in her. I guess it's just harder to...

Thank you! I will check that out

Thank you again Kevin. I will just treat this as TMS and try not to get discouraged. At this point in my life (Being mostly home and bed bound) it won't hurt anything to give tms work my all. Maybe there are a whole host of different TMS symptoms that aren't even known about.

Thanks Kevin. I'm just wondering if this could even be related to TMS? Can a non pain symptom be TMS?
