I rarely feel with energy especially mentally. I'm constantly thinking and don't know how to stop my brain from thoughts. I feel lethargic, stressful and want to recover so bad. I'm trying a lot of things to recover mentally especially, but even talking sometimes is a struggle. I can sometimes...

Hello. I suffered from pelvic pain for a few years. The pain made my life unbearable. I felt spasms and pain when sitting, urinating, even having sex. I was diagnosed with nonbacterial prostatitis, pudendal neuralgia... altogether as a chronic pelvic pain syndrome. The structures in my pelvis...

So almost three months ago I developed stomach issues after taking some medicine that didn’t agree with me. I have had anxiety/mental trauma/OCD/sensitive personality my whole life. I have interstitial cystitis and sometimes insomnia. I got the TMS personality to a t. Anyway I got test at the dr...

Hey guys, I made a realization while journaling the other day and I was interested in knowing if anybody else had similar experiences. I have noticed that I mainly get pain when I try to do something that advances my life or makes me happy, and that my TMS almost manifests itself in a way in...

Hi Everyone, How does one deal with TMS pain and dysfunction when the emotions are related to positives in life: engagement, planning kids, house hunting with fiancé etc. Thank you

I’m writing this out of desperation. I feel so hopeless and like my life is over and I’m only 38. This has been going on for 4 years (I know that’s not a lot for many of you) and most recently have been experiencing a really bad 5 week flare-up. This flare-up is extra painful with way more pain...

Hey all, I've been 100% pain free from my TMS symptoms for quite awhile...yay! Here's the thing, I'm relatively young and I never viewed my life as stressful, but I made it stressful. My fear is that as I get older, I'm noticing life stressors that I can avoid, but I don't want to. For...

This is going to be a long and interesting timeline of my life and how I’ve gone through different types of pain like backache, headache, chronic Insomnia, chronic fatigue, sciatica, tingling nerves in the body, numbing hands, depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia. I’d say I’ve recovered 95%. I...

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...

I'll spare you the list of symptoms - you've heard them all before! Suffice it to say that I was in so much pain and, more importantly, so obsessed with the symptoms that at 29 years old I stopped working and went onto disability. I went down the rabbit hole of a faulty recovery program, and...

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...

I will try to make it as short as possible, but my history with pain is long, and to be honest this post is more or less scream for help. So let starts from beginning(well, almost). I was always very happy kid. Right to the moment of middle school, when I start getting acne. I'm not talking...
