migraine

I hope my story can be of help to others struggeling with symptoms and conditions like me. It all started about three years ago. My calf started twitching after a workout. Then my arms started to feel num. The following days and weeks my symptoms only got worse. Tinitus, cramps, migrene, burning...

I have chronic migraine and I've been reading about TMS. It does seem like many migraine sufferers find relief but I have a lot of doubts. I can see this applying to bodily pain that becomes chronic long after an injury has healed but in most cases migraine never has a physical cause as its a...

https://imgur.com/a/bXi23DY (imgur.com) I actually started this program in July 2019. Then I fell off the bandwagon, continued with a chiropractor, and even found a diet that “worked.” Anyways, I’m back and now I truly believe I have TMS. It’s technically day 1 and I’m reading week 1 of...

Hey everyone! I am a male in my early 20's, I went to the gym a lot during the age of 16-18 before having a 1 year break. Upon returning I had an injury around my Rhomboid area. After giving it lots of rest, stretches, strengthening and alike it just wouldn't stop flaring up when exercising my...

Urgh, so teary and depressed today. I feel so stuck and am beginning to wonder if certain types of TMS are simply incurable. Mine is due to a trauma response. I've had variations of TMS since childhood due to growing up with an emotionally abusive narcissistic mother. She set it off again about...

I suffered with migraine most of my life. The headache symptoms went away when the anxiety started 4 years ago. I am now recognizing that the anxiety comes in the same pattern as the migraines. Weather, especially wind was a big trigger for my migraines and now I see it playing the same role...

Hi all, I have had "Vestibular Migraine" for the past 5 years (near on 24/7 symptoms though they vary). Obviously "tried everything". I originally started seeing a counsellor because I couldn't cope with it anymore, but about a month ago, I discovered that my mother has Narcissistic Personality...

Namaste, I have had IBS/Constipation/Migraine/Backache for about 20 years, and none since the last 20 days. Here are my 2 cents - Background - Had a difficult childhood, my personality was not emotionally integrated. Had difficulty in dealing with people and situations; so digestive problem...

I’ve been having visual migraines. Ive been doing much better and feeling optimistic the last few days just to be hit with one today. I handled it SO well- was positive and fairly calm, reassured myself it was harmless and only TMS- well an hour later the visual disturbance hit again!!! Twice in...

I have had loads of tms symptoms before. Mostly I have successfully addressed them but two are still bothersome and I’d like some reassurance if anyone else has had them. One is I like to run but developed a callus on the side/bottom of both big toes - it’s called pinch callus. For the past 6...

I have no pain with this but have limited vision in my left eye now for 2 months. Can TMS address this? This is a silent migraine.

Hey TMS Wiki! I hope you have all seen the awesome piece in TechCrunch about our app, Curable. The woman in the story is the wife of the journalist who wrote the piece, and her life has been completely changed. She experienced RSI decades ago and was an instant "book cure" when she picked up...

Many of you have heard of and/or tried our online program Curable, which is based on Dr. Sarno's methods. One of our primary goals in creating this app was to bring this approach to the forefront of the national conversation, and help make the mindbody approach that Dr. Sarno pioneered the norm...

If any of you are in the Chicago area and have TMS, you're probably familiar with Dr. John Stracks... he's an excellent TMS physician who's been at Northwestern for many years and just left to start his own practice. He's actually MY doctor, and he's the one who introduced me to TMS concepts...

Hi, Does anyone have any advice for me in regards to a conditioned response and migraines around fluctuating hormones and menstruation? I used to track my periods on a calendar and pay attention to when my hormones would fluctuate. That would trigger migraines for me. I don't do that any more...

Greetings all, My name is Eden and close to two years ago, my son Patrick moved back home. He was in a car accident 8 years ago and developed chronic pain and has lived with it since his accident. When Patrick moved home his pain got so bad that he couldn't work and he also doesn't have...

Help! These are the hardest waters I've ever had to navigate after 20+ years of various TMS manifestations. I hit my head on a concrete block February 3rd. 2 staples in scalp. Next day went back to work because I felt OK. Felt slightly dizzy in PM. Days 3 and 4 after the injury had neck...
