@TheJoker3131, honestly, I do not know. It could be a learned pain reflex, but could also something wrong with the filling. I once had a filling that also resulted in not being able to chew with this tooth. They did a crown instead and it was fine. (Until 20 years later, which is today, when I...

There is maybe a partial solution to my tooth problem at he lower right jaw. The pain subsided over the weeks, only a few times it occurs. And implants seem to be a good solution and doable. Now not having any molars left, I cannot use this side for chewing. I already anticipated that there will...

@adam Coloretti, thank you! Self compassion I learn, I am still my worst critic. I often astonished when I find out how other people say no to things they do not want to do or that are too much in a specific situation. I learned to soldier on, without self compassion. So, I fully agree, this is...

@Adam Coloretti (coach), first of all thank you for this very detailed and thought provoking answer. What I fully get, I think, is the dichotomous way of thinking structural and TMS is wrong. Your example of hives is a good one to this point. And the fact that pain vanishes for no reasons (or...

@Cactusflower, thank you! These are very good points and advices. I learned also not to try to be the perfectionist in fixing this pain. Accepting it without giving in to it. And here it is so important how to react to it. Observing my thoughts and emotions is something I try to do. And walks...

@JanAtheCPA, this is indeed a harsh answer. I do not know what to say. I am inbetween anger and frustration. And honestly feel misunderstood.

@Ellen , thank you for your answer and the thread, it covers exactly the questions and concerns I have. The most problematic issue for me is uncertainty, but we need to live with uncertainty. It’s a necessary part of our life. I learned to take breaks, just give me a break from bothering...

Dear all, usually I am dealing with pelvic pain (bladder and urethral pain). I found good specialists that helped me to treat the cause (dysbiosis of the microbiome), but I know that there also is a TMS component. Why does my microbiome in the vagina get imbalanced? I think it has to do with...

A short update: my bladder issues and urethra issues have settled, the right treatment did wonders. Still, there is a mind-body dimension to it, my nerve system is all ramped up and I am monitoring myself for all sorts of pains. I just wanted to thank you all for your kind and helpful answers. I...

Lee222, ah that’s the question, how to change this! I cannot give you a good answer, I am afraid. I am still struggling. What I learned: to accept the pain and that often makes to go away after a initial phase. The next: do I really like the task? Sometimes it is more prestige than pleasure. Of...

Maybe your nerve system has learned to react to challenges in life (like a second job or a giving a course) with being sensitized. And this can lead to numerous symptoms. I love my work, but when I have a challenging task my pelvic floor muscles will clench and I get symptoms of an UTI. I...

Thank you JanAtherCPA! Yes, I read about the connection between stress and inflammation. There is also a connection between anxiety and inflammation. I read also about neurogenic inflammation. There can be leucocytes in urine without bacterial inflammation. I am in treatment with specialists in...

Meanwhile I had a real UTI, and vaginal infection. I am at the end of medical treatment for this and, not surprising, the pain is still there. Not as bad as it had been, and sometimes it subsides totally, so I had really good days. The anxiety comes sometimes back, it is not as strong as it had...

Thank you Cactusflower! I will listen to the story of Rebecca Tolin. And I will try the 15 minute meditation, sure! I guess you noticed that I am in hyper vigilant state right now. I know that I need to get into a different state. Decision making seems to give control, but it isn’t. Thank you...

Thank you Rapscuttle and Joulegirl! What you tell me is that TMS work would be good, even if there might be something going on that has to be dealt with other ways (medication). That was also my idea. This is interesting about cats, there can be white blood cells in the absence of bacteria...
