My pain was also there pretty much all day. There were just certain activities that I particularly feared doing. These were the ones that i decided to tackle head on. I made myself do them just to prove to myself that if I could not care about the pain at its worst, then I didnt have to care...

These pain flair ups are normal. The people that don't recover from Tms are the ones that try these methods, naturally have a couple of flair ups in pain once they return to activities, and then stop trying. It's not linear. There will be ups and downs. Don't measure your success by your pain...

Its difficult to try cold turkey to not think about the pain. At first every time my mind drifted onto the pain or got a jolt of it I used to say to myself, dont worry about it, your nervous system is just being over sensitive, it is meaningless. Then I used to walk a bit faster, cycle a bit...

I suffered the pain for about 18 months. Was a very difficult time so I feel what you are going through. Almost entirely symptom free these days. Get the odd bit of pain when im stressed but it doesn't bother me because I know it will go away quickly and it does. It's amazing how the mind...

Mostly nerve type pain. Zapping, stinging pins and needles/ numbness is my perineum and surrounding areas. Made it incredibly painful to sit. I used to sit on a cushion with a cut out to take pressure off the area. I tried a lot of things for pain relief or to get rid of the symptoms. I went to...

I suffered male pelvic/ pudendal pain for a couple of years. Got to the point where I couldn't sit at all. I also had off and on a myriad of other symptoms such as back pain, sciatica, dry eyes, ringing in ears i could go on. The pelvic pain was devastating thou and the most difficult to shake...

Jax I did use to get numbness in my groin area. Use to have trouble ejaculating. Had a lot of zapping pain during sex. Best advice I can give you is to not focus on it. Your attention on the symptoms always makes it worse. Especially for men sex is something we value and the slightest thought...

Hi, You sound like the most classic case of TMS ive ever heard. High stress, roaming pains, normal tests, no response to treatment, even eye floaters. I like yourself developed PN with electricity like pain all the time when i sat, walked, had sex etc. Had a positive nerve block and diagnosed...

No problem mate. It is quite a simple mantra to just don't worry be happy but very difficult to do. You do get better if you practice at it. People used to say to me that I just needed to worry about being happy. It absolutely infuriated me because I used to think, "well I was happy until this...

You are a tms person therefore you feel guilt and shame easily. You just need to discharge it in a healthy way so it does not overflow physically in your body. I often when I feel like something is really bothering me make a Web cam video of myself on my computer or phone saying to the camera...

Alcohol was actually one of the reasons I realised it was tms. At one point I was quite fearful to have a few glasses of wine as I thought it flared up my symptoms like many people say. However one night I had a great night at a wedding, my first good night in a long long time, I drank, sat...

Affirmations do help me a lot when I'm fighting that niggling negative voice inside of me. Everyday over and over at some point a voice inside me says what if it's this, what if it's not tms, what if your not strong enough, what if you have offended that person. I think just having a preprepared...

The people that suffer from extreme tms are people who cope extremely well with adversity. This does two things. Firstly these people tend to down play their traumas. What seems like some mild trauma to them will more than likely seem horrific to someone who does not downplay things like us...

On another note steve ozanich in his book had test proven nerve damage, numbness, loss of reflexes in his leg etc. He beat it all with tms work. The mind is all powerful, it can damage us and also heal us depending on our perception.

Yes I had weakness. My weakness varied from periods of total numbness where I had to sit down, and my coordination was off. I also had periods that were just minor numbness and my coordination was ok. Just remember that if your symptoms go up and go down from one day to the next it is your mind...
