Once I stopped worrying about it, it started slowly going away. 8 years into my recovery, I have a slight clicking in my fingers only. It increases when I am stressed out too much, but it doesn't bother me because it does not limit anything I do. It is now much better than back then when I just...

I wish you the best of luck!

Hola, parece que eres hispanohablante. Quería informarte de que mi libro también está disponible en español, gracias a Miquel Bernardo, quien lo tradujo. Miquel es un miembro destacado de este foro. Si necesitas más ayuda con tu recuperación, el libro está disponible aquí...

I recovered a long time ago, and still doing just fine. I only had it for about 18 months before I got rid of it. I had a return of symptoms once, but briefly and intermittently. All gone now. You can read more on my profile page here.

Does anybody know a good TMS therapist who works with children, preferably in the US? This is for a 10-year-old girl with CRPS. Many thanks in advance!

Sounds about right. But next round of TMS adds another feeling: sense of humility.

There are multiple pathways. Some people find it helpful to talk to their fear or to the brain, some yell at it. Some desensitize their nervous system through slow push through the symptoms, use of visualization, meditation, exercise. Some use creative writing. Your goal is to convince...

Sorry to hear about your language difficulties. It looks like on Kindle you can use section-by-section translation from English to French. Thanks to this conversation with you, I am now looking at the option of using the Kindle capabilities of AI translation of my book into French. It might take...

When I recovered from burning skin and other symptoms, term "somatic tracking" was not coined yet and it was not developed as a formal method. I slowly became mindful of physical manifestations of my emotions: how anxiety, anger etc. roll through my body. I trained myself to think about it each...

It would take a long time to answer all your questions in a single post. I wrote a book on my recovery in which I answer all of your questions, and more. I think it can be helpful to you. https://www.amazon.com/Defying-Verdict-Defeated-Chronic-Pain-ebook/dp/B0834Q46SM. I cover concepts like...

I had this burning skin sensation for a year, which was the worst of my symptoms. Those fire ants crawling under my skin every minute of my life made me suicidal at some point. This is why my advice to those who are experiencing this level of pain is to take painkillers so you can regain some...

Good for you, Jan! I started weight/cardio training with 5 pound hand weights, I am now at 10 lbs and LOVE it (of course, love it much more once the routine is over!). Thinking of moving to a larger weight, too!

@Cactusflower , thank you for referring to my book! Actually, sciatica was one of the many TMS conditions that I had on and off before CRPS. Of course, my chronic sciatica pain is long gone. Occasionally, it sends me messages, but I give it my love and encouragement and get on with my life. It...

One of my favorite TMS stories was about a clinical trial conducted by Dr. Bruce Moseley, who was making a ton of money performing knee surgeries for osteoarthritis but had some suspicions about their efficacy. After he proved that sham surgeries were as good as real ones, he quit the lucrative...
