    Extinction burst

    I've been in a flare, or maybe it's better to call it an extinction burst at this point, for the past several days. It is the textbook instance where things were finally starting to actually get better—I was approaching pain free as my baseline!—then suddenly symptoms came back almost more...

    Extinction Burst

    I think I’m in the thick of an extinction burst. The pain is under my left shoulder blade which isn’t an area I usually have issues with, it comes and goes but when it comes it’s a very intense spasm which immediately disables me.

    Good info on extinction bursts and plateaus

    This is a long post, but if you need it, you’re going to love it! It’s from a book written by a forum member @TG957 – who recovered from a debilitating medical diagnosis of complex regional pain syndrome. But really she had TMS. I read her book often for inspiration, because many of my...

    What is your extinction burst experience?

    Hi everyone this is my first post here. I've been following the TMS recovery guide from Alan Gordon for a month and a half. It's been up and down from that moment. I have got some success but the pain never completely went away. But now my pain is worst than at the beggining. At first I found it...

    Extinction burst

    I have been doing a little bit better the last week or so. I am feeling my feelings, dealing with the little pain that I have, and really felt like I was doing good. I am pretty new to the program and am still struggling with some doubts. Now all of a sudden I have new pain in new places. My...

    My example of how to stop TMS pain

    I have several separate pains in my body. Full medical shows nothing structural, and while I am still battling for a resolution for some of my pain (deep gluteal/piriformis pain and burning feet), I feel obliged to write about a success that I had this morning while fresh in my mind that may...
