Sorry, I missed your reply here @MIsty152. I am trying to become more aware of how I handle my daily stresses, but it's certainly a work in progress. I internalize all of my stress and always try to present myself as calm, patient, and steady to the outside world when internally I'm usually a...

Good question. I'm not quite sure yet. I feel like things such as meditation or trying to be present with the pain (without judgement) only cause me to focus on it more. Maybe I just have more work to do to get comfortable being present with it. But, on the flip side, it feels like I might be...

Thanks for this and for sharing the link to your story. I realize I'm generalizing a bit here, but it feels like there are two buckets of approaches that end up working for people - 1) those who deep-dive on TMS education and knowledge but then religiously do the work (i.e. follow Alan's...

Does anyone have TMS that shows up as burning/tingling/prickling and/or shock-like symptoms in various areas of the genital region? Any men that have these symptoms? Anyone that's had these symptoms and overcome it? I used 'pudendal neuralgia' in the title of this thread as it seems as though so...

Jumping into this thread as @BC77 has had a similar journey as me. I've written about my story here and had a long journey with pelvic and genital pain. After 12 years or so, it disappeared, but not because I was aware of TMS. It simply just disappeared. Not overnight, but it wound itself down...

I'm convinced this is all TMS. I've posted on here before and have a looooong story about pudendal/pelvic pain (more nerve-like sensations and symptoms than anything). And, part of what I've experienced over the years is random urgency. I suffered daily with pudendal/pelvic pain for 10 or so...

For anyone on the forum with pudendal neuralgia issues that mostly present as nerve-like symptoms (skin tingling, burning, prickling, crawling, itching) through the various parts/components of the pelvic region, have you attacked this the same way other TMSers have treated more classic pain...

Thanks for the response. Has your condition improved over time? Did you fully accept that it’s TMS?

Pratik, really great to hear. Have you been practicing anything particular or have you just bought into TMS and that's been enough to start you down a better path?

Agreed. There are definitely threads from the past. If anyone is actively dealing with this issue or has found success and has moved on (but hasn't left the forum entirely) it would be great to hear about some of the techniques that have worked.

Thanks so much Jan. All helpful and thoughtful responses. Regarding the heat and capsaicin, I do realize they’re not solving the underlying issue and just distracting the symptoms. I would like to avoid them altogether, but at times I feel I need the relief even though I know I’m not treating...

A bit of an introduction as I'm new to this community, followed by a few questions at the end.... I was a diagnosed (maybe self-diagnosed) pudendal neuralgia sufferer for 10+ years, all of it starting in 2003 (at age 28). For many years, all-day, every day, I experienced non-stop nerve-like...
