@Patty Cakes, your husband is surely also afraid of what happens, I guess. And then also make you feel a bit guilty, this is how humans are they are scared. You seem to handle this properly! Doing TMS work, you ask, does it sometimes amplify symptoms? Yes, especially if I am doing too much...

@Patty Cakes, sound like you are making progress, drawing boundaries. In my experience this is very difficult with vulnerable family members. My parents live far away, very old and have both dementia. My sister and me want them into a nursery home close to where my sister lives. My mother...

Thanks! Yes, boundaries and self care! For example I decided not to drive 13 hours to visit my parents this weekend, I am simply too exhausted.

@Anastasia1234, thank you! I read your thread and there I find good advices. I like very much that when the symptoms are present that this then is the chance to teach the brain. I need to do this myself. And yes, I believe a huge part of it is TMS in my case. I guess the same is true for you.

Here are the news: I had another tooth extracted in the beginning of October, molar left upper side, it had decay into the root. But I still have pain at this side, strange pain in the gums, as if they are inflamed. Goes also to the front teeth. I had been to three dentists, they did DVT scans...

@Patty Cakes, you have a very good insight into how you feel! That can help you tremendously. My impression is you are not a person who sugar coats things. When read your post, I thought, well, I would also feel trapped. It’s a lot you have to deal with. Very simply: do you take breaks from care...

It’s possible it’s neuroplastic. Muscle tension can cause low flow. However, if you haven’t had this already, I would see an urologist to rule out infection etc.If the urologist diagnosis bladder pain syndrome then it is probably TMS.

@Adam Coloretti (coach), thanks for the correction. I understand, things can become chronic because of the way I react. I am waiting for a second opinion of a specialist dentist. I hope that will clarify things. In the meanwhile I continue with my life and do not try to freak out.

@Adam Coloretti (coach) , you think that if it were a clear diagnosis, no googling is necessary, the facts would be clear. But if not, then the googling starts and this is a indication that it is TMS, very interesting. Sounds right to me!

Sorry for posting again, it's just like now something seems to configurate in my mind. Anyone also has a kind of magic thinking? Not that I believe in magic. But I have this feeling that if something goes well, that when my symptoms subside, then, something awful will happen. As if I am punished...

Thank you all of you again. Your replies gave me a lot of insights. Also answering your replies helps me to clarify a lot. I see a pattern of how I react, although I still do not really know how to change it. Not one big decision, I understand that @Cactusflower, little steps. Some will power is...

@JanAtheCPA thanks for you answer! What strikes me as most important: You can't do much about the existential uncertainties out in the world, but you can help yourself by looking at the things you can control and one of those is to be rational about your health care, and to visualize the...

Thank you @Adam Coloretti (coach)! The dentist just mentioned neuropathic pain to me, he does not really know anything about it. It is me that is going down the rabbit hole of finding out if this is what I have, besides the fact that there are valid explanations for the pain I have post surgery...

Wow, thanks @Cactusflower! Sure, uncertainty is a fact of life. And I am a control freak who wants to get rid of it as much as possible. Sometimes helpful, when it comes to medicine, diagnoses and pain often not so helpful. Maybe it is fear all along, yes. Absolutely possible. I know that...

My problem seems to be how to deal with uncertainty. There is so much uncertainty connected to my symptoms: right now tooth pain and gum pain, I had surgery and I have a deep bite, missing teeth change the bite, probably therefore I have inflammation of the gum. But that’s not the important...
