This is something I wanted to talk about after going through a lot of personal hardship from about late 2021 to early 2023. Since the main focus of this post is about critical thinking, I thought it made sense to post it in community off-topic.
Discovering the TMS diagnosis in early 2020 is...
I've noticed there isn't as much information on this forum about skin disorders compared to pain. So I thought I'd update this post with my recent successes.
I've managed to make a lot of progress on my skin this year. After not having much eczema during my teenage years, it slowly returned in...
Exactly. There are many stories of people who only tried these strategies, because nothing else stopped their symptoms. Including myself. It goes down differently if you're explaining TMS to people that have faith in the body medicine logic/treatment.
This is quite a difficult TMS symptom to identify the cause of, especially if there are no obvious underlying causes (such as sickness). In my case, I noticed a pattern of the time and place I was getting a runny nose/scratchy throat. I've also gained a recent understanding of how the immune...
For six to seven months of my life, I was experiencing disabling pain 24/7. It started out with back/neck pain and a short term case of RSI several years prior. During the latter half of 2019, these symptoms would continue, as well as manifest into many other symptoms like pain in my feet, among...
It was a really interesting experience going to a chiropractor after 2 years of applying TMS. The only reason I even went in the first place is because this person also tests for allergies and for some reason, they wanted to do a checkup to rule any "structural issues out".
I found myself...
I've thought about this more. My strategy going forward will involve continuing to do what I feel is right and not committing to what other family members want. There are times where they won't chase me up about my skin, such as if its been looking really good for several consecutive days.
If...
For the past couple of months, my mother has been overly conscious of my reoccuring skin problem. A rash on my hands has come and gone since shortly after starting my TMS treatment in February/March last year. It was quite patchy and would itch, but it has gotten far better ever since I...
Agreed. It definitely isn't the physical side of working out, but the psychological side. I've been exploring my mind more these past few days and realized a big part of my attitude came from an endless pursuit to have the ideal body.
That's great how you were able to see the causes of your own...
When you put it that way, it's definitely plausible that the brain can learn to resent body image. I remember feeling shame at times when getting picked on at school and believing my body type had to do with it.
Ah, we have a few symptoms in common. Mine started out as a larger rash that mostly...
Mine sometimes flare up during hand washing too. My GP pointed out the connection between the two when I originally saw her about this.
Also I'm curious. When else do your fingers get itchy? Because it's insightful to hear about the experiences of someone else with the same symptoms.
