Read about extinction bursts today, kind of interesting. I guess that is what my flare ups are since 2018 when I first got pain. Unrelated I want to compile some evidence like on day 19. 1. I overcame the pain multiple times in the past. 2. Right now only my right index finger has been...

I actually think the work is pretty cool, I really would like to work on it. I guess it is sort of self pressure, but I dont resent the work and truly I don't absolutely have to do it. Could be good for writing prompt though. As I type with one hand (ow!)

I mean I dont know about the getting shorter and women thing lol, but I don't necessarily fit in as the perfect tms patient either, yet using some of the techniques I have seen improvement. I dont think you have to fit in to the book perfectly.

Hi, Just want to talk about some theories about why my finger pain is flaring up. I have had my hand pain down to a manageable level for years, so when there is a flare, it can be obvious why. I've had a good job for a year now. But I've been doing some extra work on the side which requires...

I will take your advice!

Sorry, I use the forum and the program sparingly. Often when I don't feel pain or at least not stressed over it or just too busy, I don't visit the forum or do the program. My right index finger has been hurting a lot recently from writing with a pencil of all things. So I'm back.

Interesting TMS stuff... Often when I use the mouse in my right hand, my hand starts to hurt. Generally, I can use the mouse in my left hand, as much as I want. However, when my right hand has a flare up, my left hand also tends to get one, which doesn't make much sense. Back pain has stayed...

Back pain cleared up a few weeks ago, so I took a break from the program. Back hurt a small bit a couple days ago plus a decent flare up in my hands occured, so I'm back. Day 11 was nice, wondering if I should try the tms chat or maybe even try a TMS doctor. Might actually have enough money...

Missed a day I think. Anyways wanted to note something strange and TMS-y. I have been feeling somewhat better after doing this program. But Friday for some reason I was pain free in the morning and night, but at work for maybe a 3 hour stretch I had much worse back pain than usual. It's...

Hi Jan, I appreciate the comment. Hope you are doing well with what's in your control. It's true I don't want to be back but I'm also in a lot better position since I've seen success with TMS self help methods before. It's a lot scarier the first time around. And just like that my back is...
