Thank you for all the replies! At this stage in my life, family, hobbies (aka fun), and health are most important. If there was a clear path to this end I'd take that one. I'm super torn. I love the idea of going for Mayor (of course no guarantees and if I'm not successful then that solves a...

From a TMS perspective, is it better to change or adapt? Should I get out of stressful jobs, or learn to better adapt to them? For some time (8 years) I've worn two hats - teacher and local politician. It's election year and I've been asked to have a punt at Mayor. I'm worried about my ever...

Thank you very much for the replies. Looking back, I don't know if I was all that clear. Of course good health, and lowering blood sugar and cholesterol are good things. I suppose where I was going is if focusing on those issues as the cause might detract from TMS work, or feed into TMS by...

Thank you for the reply. I honestly don't understand the responses to what I thought was a simple question. 1 Of course we should all live healthy lifestyles. Again, everyone is low-key treating me like I'm some 400lbs man who eats cheeseburgers daily. Yeah I'm 225lbs, but I'm also 6'4" so not...

ouch. Still, thank you for taking the time to respond to so many people living with challenges. All the best.

Hi, Thanks for the replies. If I have back pain, and then in an MRI they find a herniated disk, they say that's what's causing your back pain. You then take drugs, modify behaviour and hope it heals. OR, if that back pain is caused by TMS, then pills and modifying behaviour (taking...

Thanks very much for the reply. I have read Dr.Hanscom's book. I think what I'm asking is this - if it's TMS in origin, (Dr.Schubiner said that SFN is often TMS) wouldn't it be unwise to feed the beast so to speak?

Hi, I have on question I have long standing nerve issues for years - last two it's significantly progressing - I tentatively have the small fiber neuropathy label - idiopathic. No objective findings of nerve dysfunction. On the other hand, I also have metabolic syndrome - high cholesterol...

those are all really normal and common baseline tests. They are doing their due diligence to eliminate possibilities. I can say 100% based on your posts that you are wound, worried, and anxious (understandably) so that's a factor too. MRI will eliminate MS so 100% put that one out. By nerve test...

I don't know you, but I severely doubt you and MS or other such illnesses. Twitching (fasciculations) are a symptom not an illness, and MANY things can cause them - they are not typical of MS presentation at all, and you are too young for the other things you mentioned. You should go to a doctor...

Any update on your fingers? I'm having the same issues now...

Sorry - I was out of town on vacation for nearly 2 weeks. Thank you for the reply. I will have to double down on TMS work. I'm now tingling up to my knees and elbows most days with patches elsewhere - 24/7 though it waxes and wanes. The only thing I'm certain of is I have to really tackle...

Hi Cactusflower, Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. I've had issues for so long I don't know what to think anymore - raging heartburn for a decade, then they thought I had MS, then my neck went out for like 2 years, and now this - it's exhausting and I can't get a straight...
