Hi Andy B thanks for your reply and sorry for the time it has taken me to reply. Your point about it being the one that scares me most is so true. Ive had other symptoms pop up in recent weeks (like pain in the mid upper back that ive noticed flares when i feel guilty about something!) and im...

Have you seen the app called "curable"? As a teenager I think you'd really connect with it. You can download it for free initially and listen to alot of the info (its based around TMS) that way and see how you like it. They offer writing exercises, meditations, Brain training and eduction for...

Hi Everyone My main TMS symptom (and the symptom that was the straw that broke the camels back so to speak and led me to discover TMS etc) is tingling and burning 24/7 in the left side of my face. Since accepting this as TMS and doing the work, this symptom has become worse but other symptoms...

mbsgal85 - I'm the same age as you and was hit hard with TMS about 2 years ago. It began as continual fine twitches on the left side of my face (eye and lip). I panicked and thoughts I had MS and had all the tests, saw neurologists, had MRIs and it all came back clear. This helped calm me...

I am similar to this - a lot of my symptoms have gone bar the main one of tingling and burning in my face which is constant and like you it also flares when im at my desk or watching TV. I think this I because when my mind is less distracted because im sitting down in one place rather than...

wow! I have that same dream all the time. Im either forgetting something or I cant pack my stuff in time (for the flight/checkout time or whatever im packing for). It always happens when im more stressed than usual. Ive spoken to my therapist about it and she thinks its my subconscious feeling...

Hi everyone. Still chipping away here at my TMS. Ive been working on things properly for about 3 months now and so far ive gotten rid of a few "lesser" symptoms (burning skin on my arm, body wide muscle twitching) but my main symptom of persistent facial tingling and burning is still here. Not...

Also - remember frustration is akin to fear as far as your brain is concerned. Both emotions will stir up your nervous system. Frustration is my current hurdle. we will get there!

Hi sery. I really relate to you- my pain issues (burning and tingling in the left side of my face) has increased since I started doing my TMS work. I do think its a sort of extinction burst- your brain looking to pull you back to the familiar, cranking up the dial so to speak to take back your...

Hi There Im about 2 months into my TMS recovery work. So far my main symptom (tingling/burning in my face) has only really gotten worse and I have also had other symptoms pop up such as eczema on my hand (that hasn't flared in years) and headaches. Ive read about symptom imperatives but it...

Zeeman- thanks so much for writing this. It really speaks to me because I am dealing with tingling and burning (on my face) AND I know it’s fueled by infertility/treatments and the stress that comes with it!! It means a lot to read about someone who became symptomatic from the same source of...

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post- it means alot. I am definitely a perfectionist and I guess im just really aware of how much this issue is effecting me and therefore wanting to make sure I go about tackling it in the right way. It just feels very overwhelming and I feel unsure of...
