This post appeared in my email. After many years of tms symptoms I can say FEAR is at the bottom of them. If you can teach yourself that you are safe, your symptoms will fade away. I can hear folk say all sorts of resistance responses, but try it, you have nothing to lose...only pain.

May I suggest you look up tattvamasi, he wrote some helpful posts in 2015. His take on life may resonate with you. Never give up hope.

Poor you, fear jumps out from your post. Leave physical symptoms out for a bit. Think about what is going on in your life? Relationships happy? Enjoy your job? Like where you live? Any contact with covid? Keep asking questions until your gut tells you something. Nothing is too small to consider.

Well done to your tms success in the past. I can tell you I treated dental issues using the tms paradigm. At the beginning of lockdown in 2020 my gums became mottled and certain teeth hurt. I managed to get to see a dentist. She asked me what was going on in my life. My neighbour/friend had...

Georgie Oldfield is in UK. You can book a free consultation with her too. Google her and website comes up.

I think the clue lies in "my parents were strongly against it and I avoided talking about it with them". Dr Sarno says " consciously we rationalise, unconsciously we are enraged". The pain syndrome, and in your case, elbow, diverts your attention away from the repressed undesirable emotions...

Missy, there is a TMS guy in Lismore, N.S.W., Dr James Alexander, who may be able to help you. He might do Skype calls. He has written posts on this forum, you may like to read some, to see if his approach to healing suits you.

Your story is sad and honest, and you are very brave writing it out. You are a survivor. I am not a doctor, but your symptoms sound like TMS to me. You said you have read a lot on the forum, have you tried doing one of the programs here, like the Alan Gordon one? You said you left the best...

This short video is helpful for those wondering why there is a need to understand early childhood, and how it affects you as an adult.

I used to puzzle over the adrenaline response, how someone could do a bungee jump and experience euphoria, while another person could suffer from panic and feel dreadful. It is adrenaline rush in both cases. I emailed Dr Schubiner, and he kindly answered...it is all to do with perception...

My first thought was, are you diabetic? Don't mean to scare you, just checking, ruling out things. Your night was spent mostly in fear, and that means a lot of chemical reactions were going on. So that could alter the way your body smells. Another TMS distraction perhaps? Hope your son is...

Balto, your comment was helpful to me. I keep reading about neuroplasticity, (for fun), and it is becoming more evident that our thoughts really do matter, and they shape us, by what we believe.

Dr Sarno said "the rage that is causing your pain, you will never feel". The unconscious works in silence. "Any anger you are aware of has nothing to do with TMS".

Those symptoms are not your life, just a distraction. The words you used, "ticked off", suggest to me that something is bothering you. You could ask, what is my body trying to tell me? Why do I need this? What, or who, am I trying to avoid? You are not doing anything wrong, so you can let...
