I'm so sorry that you're feeling despondent. You're not the 1st and won't be the last, but please hang in there. If it makes you feel any better, I moved in with my parents for a couple of months (age 35) during my 1st "episode". My Mom even drove me to and from work (1 1/2 hours each way). I...

Hi Armchair! :D I have a very similar experience with symptoms switching sides and having no rhyme or reason. And I agree that real injuries do NOT behave this way. This is wonderful news for us in that it solidifies the TMS diagnosis. Lately, I've been doing much better with ignoring...

Aces - The very 1st podiatrist that I saw told me that I would end up in a wheel chair. He wanted me to have genetic testing done to check for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. And get this... with a straight face, his receptionist said that it would cost $17,000 out of pocket. You can't make this...

Hi armchair! Wow - Just swap right/left and we have the same story! Actually, I finally saw THE podiatrist that my chiropractor recommended. I told him that my goal is to wear tennis shoes like a normal person. He said that my arches are so abnormally high that I will never walk barefoot or in...

TD - I was going to post about this as well. You beat me to it! :wacky: If anyone has a "goodist" personality, it's the Pope.

Hi D - You are not alone. I have the same issues in my calves/ankles/feet. It seems that this is the major hurdle for everyone who is successful in healing from TMS. We're almost there! :smug: We just need to continue to absorb the advice of the amazing people in this support group.

Aces - Thank you for your thoughtful reply. It helps to know that we're not alone. :rolleyes:

Thank you so much Mr. Oleksy. I will take your advice to heart. You have a comforting and positive way of looking at things. And I truly appreciate that you take the time to offer your support. :D At first, I didn't understand why the #1 rule around here is to be kind to yourself. But the more...

I've been trying so hard to pinpoint what is causing this relapse. Is it possible that it is PTSD from the 1st episode of this "injury"? And the twinge that I felt during the yoga class just set off a firestorm of fear/terror that exacerbated the symptoms? My MRI is clear. Chiropractor thinks...

I think you're referring to the cell wall, but "structure" sounds much more sophisticated. :D I like the term sub-c gremlin. Maybe those are the little guys following me around and stabbing me in the ankles! :meh:

Thanks TT - Can't help but notice that many of them begin with "change". :)

I saw it mentioned in Alan Gordon's program. It's a list of reasons that you believe that your symptoms are caused by TMS.

Thanks guys for the advice and support! I admire you all for your strength and courage.

Would anyone be so kind as to share their evidence sheet? The fascinating thing about TMS is how random it is. Maybe that's why it's so frustrating for those of us who would like a perfect little bullet point explanation/treatment plan. My symptoms are all over the place... switching from...
