fear

Hi y'all. I was going to start a thread on TMS and gout, but after reading some past threads on the topic, I've concluded that my gout is TMS, especially since the blood test I had last Thursday (today is Sunday) show perfectly normal uric acid levels. Also since the affected toe is on the same...

Hey guys. I think knowledge and fear both compliment each other.. As you have knowledge of something, sometimes it become fear in your mind.. And same you can eleminate fear with knowledge also. See my example. 1. I read an article 5 year ago about sciatica.. And that leave a fear in my...

Seems like a simple enough question, yet... I find the answer to that to be rather fleeting in the TMS community. Odd, since the entire condition revolves around pain. Yet, I hear great broad concepts like Sarno's reminders to think psychologically. Or, that we are ultimately safe from TMS pain...

I saw both doctors back in 1993. I had drop foot, could barely walk and in horrible pain. Long story short, I read Dr. Sarno's first book, called him and got his associate Dr. Rashbaum. I was told to get an MRI and read the book. Once I did that, I saw Dr. R. He confirmed I had TMS but the mere...

Hello all, apologies as I posted this in the general forum by mistake and now cannot delete it! I have a question regarding fear. So having fully accepted that TMS is responsible for my myriad of symptoms, I still really fear them and what could come next. I'm now just afraid of the beast that...

Hello all, I have a question regarding fear. So having fully accepted that TMS is responsible for my myriad of symptoms, I still really fear them and what could come next. I'm now just afraid of the beast that is TMS and the consequences it's symptoms could have, rather than any structural...

Hi all. Like most here, I have been working through the TMS process, but I have a couple of questions tha a more experienced TMS er may be able to answer. Given most of us still struggling have had symptoms for a long time and we believe in the concept of TMS, why and what makes us fear the...

Hello to the whole forum, I haven't written anything for a long time and I would like your opinion on what has been happening to me for a few months now. the problem is the continual shifting of symptoms from one part of my body to another. In this period in particular I underwent a root canal...

according to dr. J. Sarno rage (unconscious rage) is the main cause of chronic pain, but for Alan Gordon is fear (fear of pain masquing other unbearable fears). Any comment? Thanks !!!!

Hello all, I just got a notice that I have been a member for a year! I haven't been very visible but I want to thank everyone who contributes. This forum has helped me sustain hope. On the other hand, I have not been at all successful, except for brief periods, in not fearing my symptoms...

I'm deviating from posting on my usual thread as I actually need a bit of support rather than recording for myself what's going on. I am truly scared right now. If you've read my thread, you'll know I'm in counselling and doing yoga to release trapped trauma, which I thought was all due to my...

Hello. I’m needing some help sorting through my tms experiences. With bladder/ic symptoms the less I feared the symptoms the better I got! I’d challenge fears and instantly see improvement. But with visual migraine, when I don’t fear the symptoms-wham! I’m hit with one. This is conditioning me...

Hey all, These forums have been incredibly helpful; I am having some acute back pain and have been put on a medrol pack which has calmed things down. I have been journaling and I re read heading back pain. I am still scared of an acute back episode occurring again. I was reading the...

I've had tinnitus before with sensitivity to sound, but it eventually went away. I'm having clicking in my ears and possibly the back of my throat. I know that it's stress induced, but no matter how much I tell myself this I can't get the message through. I'm prone to this sort of thing. Earlier...

3 weekes ago I participated in a life-meditation of Joe Dispenza ( via Internet) and there I found out that I was very afraid of healing!! Since then I have unbearable pain! During the 8 years of my foot pain I have lost my job and my partner, so I don’t know what I will do when the pain will be...

Here is one for you guys... In my recovery process I realized that everything TMS related makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately being the ultimate TMS personality type (anxious, fearful, devils advocate to everything) I r have heard that fear makes the TMS pain worse and can make it come back...

Goodmorning everyone I'm sorry to say, but it's a difficult period, after about a month free from symptoms (or with very tolerable symptoms) here I am again looking for support, advice, looking for a safe place where I can compare the experiences of recent times . As I read for many of you...

hi guys! I'm in an unusually big band sometimes up to 30 people! Many of these people are my dear friends; but a couple of rotten tomatoes can spoil the pot. Backstory: my best friend moved back to town, learned an instrument and joined the band. This was a friend of over 15 years! Idk what...

hello everyone! I’ve now been one month without recurrent pain! Which is a huge success. However, I am dealing with depersonalization/dissociation. I’m assuming it’s either a “replacement” for the pain or hurting so much has left me with some trauma. Wondering if anyone has had a similar...
