This is great. Thank you. I think you are right about the deep dive. IN the past all I had to do was acknowledge that stress etc was causing my issues and it would go away either immediately or with a few days or weeks. Not so, this time. Also, the recurring nature of my TMS raises the issue of...

Hi all, I have had frequent episodes of TMS for past 15-20 years from panic attacks to stomach issues, to shoulder pain, knee pain, tension headaches, scratchy eyes and most everything else. What I have never had, until now, is back pain/sciatica. I had my hip replaced in October for severe...

Good stuff. I have been at this for years with varying degrees of success.

This exchange helps me immensely. I am almost 11 years sober and the parallels for us drunks and addicts is astonishing. If I am going to multiple AA meetinga and staying connected to the program and other people my symptoms disappear. When I don't they reappear. God bless you guys. right now I...

Jay, how is your sleep? I have noticed mine TMS is always worse with lack of sleep. Regarding your eyes, I don't know what your do for a living but at some level the TMS symptoms are being used by our psyche for something...The reason I think my TMS symptoms are recurring is that they...

Jay, I feel your pain. I have had probably 30-40 different TMS symptoms over past 7 years. They bounce around as I deal with one another pops up to distract me from myself. They will even repeat if enough time has gone by since I last defeated them. The symptom imperative (as Dr. Sarno calls...

Wow. I have had every type of TMS symptom I thought. On Sunday I developed a feeling like something was in my left eye. It was an hour after I ran on the beach and it was windy so I thought maybe I got something in my eye but it was weird it was so delayed. I went to ER they did an exam with...

My newest TMS symptom is foot pain/numbness on top of the left foot. When I google this it looks like peroneal nerve irritation which enervates the top of the feet. I know I am clenching my butt and legs at night because sometimes I wake up with my left calf very tight like I did toe raises...

Anne, Anxiety is what usually distracts me the most. This reflux has momentarily taken its place because the is anxiety mostly gone without the reflux. When the reflux starts up anxiety kicks in with it. Last night when I had convinced myself this may indeed be tms, the reflux calmed down. It...

Well now I have low back, hip and knee pain. Now I am thinking it may all be TMS. I think I need to find a TMS doctor. Has anyone ever been to one they can recommend?

Thanks Anne I ended up calling my brother in law who is a GI in Italy. He told me sounded like reflux and to start a reflux medical regimen for a week or so (prilosec, Gaviscon after every meal etc) The pain is still here and right now I am convinced it is the reflux and not TMS or a...

So I am struggling with whether or not to go to the doctor. I have had panic attacks and anxiety with a hundred different symptoms over past 15 years. I have had MRI, multiple cardiac work ups, urology work ups, multiple gi tests including two endoscopes and a colonoscopy by the age of 45. I was...

Luke, I have had that on and off for years. It seems to come and go and I don't really know what triggers it. Sometimes it is obvious because I'm anxious other times I seem to have it but I'm not anxious and it makes me anxious. Currently I have it and I convince myself that I have Asmara some...
