When I had the last bout of pain, which was the worst period ever, it was Oxycodone 5 mg slow release in the morning + 5 mg immediate release as needed along with the Amitryptiline. Nothing else seemed to make a dent in the pain. Came off them as soon as I felt the pain abate. I don't like to...

That’s entirely correct. I’m 100% sure it was TMS. In my case, masking the pain for a while really helped me push through it.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I've been completely free of any pain for over a year now . I failed going the TMS route. What did it for me was a low dose amitriptyline in the evening and a course of high strength painkillers. The meds helped me focus on the good things in life and I got...

Thought I'd share an update on my situation. Still struggling but doing a little bit better. Amazingly I managed to break free from the cycle of pain and anxiety late february. Whole march was amazing, didn't feel a thing apart from some minor issues with anxiety. Unfortunately I relapsed early...

Hi NameK. I'm a happy owner of tinnitus since eleven years ago. I was devastated in the early days but eventually, the brain will forget and zone out from it. Pretty much like TMS overall. Don't worry about it, it's a very common occurrence amongst people. The less attention you give it, the...

Thanks keenie82. I've visited and bookmarked Tara's site, good stuff! I'm also type A, though I wish I weren't right now lol. I've been there with the bladder trouble as well, about 16 years ago. Ridiculously painful spasms... Oh well, it went away on its own and no dr could ever find any reason...

Thanks keenie82. I've worked alot with acceptance these last days. I've also worked on changing my attitude towards the pain. I've had less anxiety in the last two days as I've practiced some mindfulness along with somatic tracking and it seems to work, pain has come down to zero with no need...

Hi! I've (male 34) been having rectal pain and tailbone pain on and off for five years now. It started with a fissure in 2013 that healed but the pain went on. I've been to surgeons, have been examinated under general anesthesia, botox shots to sphincter muscles and creams of all sorts with...

Good to hear, I'm currently struggling with this problem once again. I'm about to post my own thread to hopefully get some advice.

@Andy B Thanks Andy! I might actually do that. This forum offers so much hope for many people with mind-body illnesses, it's an amazing resource of knowledge. :)

Hi srkellz45! I'm really sorry for your suffering. There's hope and this really does sound like a mind-body issue. And most importantly it's very much a condition that can be beaten! I'm a long time lurker here, this is my first post. I never considered posting here really, but your post...
