I'm asking if there's a negative to lifting weights with TMS? I can do it without much pain; I'm just worried about building up tensed muscles is all. Weight lifting is something I really enjoy doing so I'd hate to have to wait to do it, and if there's no chance of building chronically tensed...

Quick question for everyone here; after a ridiculous amount of searching and treatments I've finally understood TMS to it's fullest extent. I had approached it entirely wrong in the past and plan to correct that error and really have at it this time around, but one thing is holding me back. TMS...

Just thought I would note that one very important factor of TMS is that it's a distraction strategy. I've had OCD, anxiety, etc. for many years and I can tell very well at this point that purpose of not only OCD, but also TMS (which are very similar processes) is to distract you from your...

I am not an active member of this forum anymore; nor do I have any intention to return here after posting. I do not say this with the opinion that the forum is negative; I just simply have realized my health issues had become an obsession that I must break and leaving this forum be is one way to...

Yes, our doctor knows were undergoing the procedure; he's even interested in the results. We are taking every single precaution. Also, I'm done with diets; I've tried every single diet you could possibly imagine plus probiotics, managing stress, fermented foods, fermented yogurt. I've literally...

The methodology behind TMS suggests that those who suffer from should use their bodies as if nothing were wrong – believing that because of the pain is more psychological without there being a present physiological issue. With this, I tried my best to focus on my psych rather than my body and...

I'm afraid I simply can't Grateful; as much as TMS is preached on these forms I've tried it and I almost ruined my hands doing so. I tried approaching TMS for 3 years – if it takes longer than that to heal I'd rather approach the problem another way. I still am trying to recover, physically...

I'm afraid the stomach pain I'm referring to isn't the stomach ache most people get when they are stressed – it's horrific and almost debilitating. I know there's a correlation between stress and my stomach because if I stress heavily it can set off my ibs; but at the same time I've had ibs...

The physical condition is muscle tension, and trigger points. Before I got in to see a physical therapist my muscles had become extremely tight; and I have trigger points all throughout my upper body. It does not require exercise, it requires deep tissue massage done by one's self and stretching...
