Hello Danielle I once had severe trigimenial neuralgia for 7 months after having an ear operation. The pain was terrible I could not focus and could barely work. It consumed my life. I was told by several doctors that there was nothing they could do and I might have to live with it the rest of...

I know that our experiences vary quite a bit, so I am hoping that some of you can offer advice and even some reassuring words. I have been living with TMS for over two years now. I figured out it was TMS after a year of seeing physicians who could not help me. The unrelenting pain down my leg...

Alan This is very helpful. I am taking a mindfulness 8 week course and many of these techniques seem similar. Are they? I like the fact the you are focusing on the pain and desensitization by creating awareness and curiosity and a safe place with breathing. Is this what we are hoping to do be...

Alan I have found this very helpful. I have tons of evidence and the pain actually went away for 10 days recently. Unfortunately, it has come back. Despite my evidence, I fear that the pain will reappear and it does! This cycle has repeated itself many times. I am fine for 5-10 days with no...

I know it must be TMS if it wasn't I would have pain when I was away from my stressors as well. I do think I am feeling my feelings but...

Hi All I could really use some advise here. I completed the SEP a few months ago. My pain completely disappears when I am away from home traveling for business. My last trip was for a week and I had virtually no pain. As soon as I came home this past Sunday, the pain came back in my left buttock...

Hello All I am hoping that someone can tell me that they have experienced what I have been experiencing and offer some thoughts or advice. This has been going on in my life for quite some time, but I have e just started recognizing it (the rage) I have. This weekend my wife called me and texted...
