migraine

I woke up this morning around 6am to a migraine. That makes the 3rd migraines I've had in the last 3 months. I got them a lot when I was a teenager but they basically went away when I got older. I only had 1 migraine throughout the whole decade of my 20's. I'm at a loss now. I feel super...

Since totally embracing the TMS way for my back pain i have started getting migraines which previously was very rare. Can someone please share some light on the situation (am i thinking about TMS too much?). Also my pain is moving daily around my back which i believe is a good sign Stephen

Also, part two: I find it easier to fight through a migraine I get early in the day and not let it get to the point that it's unbearable. Once I go to bed though, it's like I lose all control while I'm sleeping and wake up in the middle of the night with a piercing headache that I can no longer...

To start I need to let you know that I've been doing really very well lately. I've gone from 8-12 migraines a month to 4-8 over the past two months since I was introduced to TMS wiki. Journaling, thinking psychological, deep breathing and body scanning have been helpful to me. I even am...

I've been working on TMS for chronic migraines for a few weeks now but I still struggle with the idea of not being afraid of the pain. It really hurts when I get a migraine and I can't just push it aside. When I feel one coming on, I try to self talk, fight my inner bully or talk compassionately...

Here's my story... I'm almost 32 and have had migraines for 16 years and been truly been suffering from them for about 9 years. My first migraine was when I was 16. At first it was about 1-2 a year and in my twenties it increased from 1 a week to 2-3 a week with 4-5 times a week at it's worst...

Written by Dr. Schubiner on November 26, 2009 One of the great books of the twentieth century is Victor Frankel’s, Man’s Search for Meaning. In the book, he describes the need we have to understand why things happen. When someone gets sick, one of the first questions asked is, “Why did this...

Hi Everyone, This is my first post. I've just joined the forum after spending many hours on this site. Thank you everyone for all your helpful posts and information. It's been an amazing support for me. I'm about halfway through the structured program and although I've made progress, it's...

I started reading 'Healing Back Pain' on Sunday and it's been very enlightening, but I gather it's going to be a long road. I've been having a number of chronic symptoms over the last 20-24 months. Upset stomach, nausea, permanent neck pains, lower back pains, shoulder pains, and recently...

Hello fellow soldiers :) I am new here and wanted to say hi and get a bit of feedback if possible. I titled this "catch 22" because that's what it feels like I am in; my health problems are preventing me from living independently from my family, yet I think that being dependent on and living...

When going through the recovery process, is there any way to target (prioritize) a specific symptom? For example, if you have headaches, back pain and IBS, is there any method to specifically target one symptom over the others?

It is my two year anniversary of learning about TMS and I realize I still haven't written out my success story. This is not because I'm without success, but due to my perfectionism I thought I needed to wait till I was free of all vestiges of TMS and TMS equivalents before declaring myself a...

Hey I found this video online, I thought it was really good so I wanted to share.

I've been working on my TMS recovery for about 18 months. After about a year of work, I was able to get rid of my chronic pain syndromes and eliminate all the medication I was taking for my symptoms. However, I still have some TMS equivalents that I'm working on, i.e. anxiety, depression...

day two... i have been doing the exercises. wow.... i am pretty angry with a lot of people in my life. and feeling quite helpless about it all. i also wasn't nice to my husband earlier today. he became angry and instead of arguing more, i just cried and cried. not like me but the tooth...

Hi all, This is my first post. I'm so glad to have learned about TMS in the last ten days. I can see already my chronic neck, back, and wrist pain greatly diminished. I had been having that pain for about six years. My question is about my headaches, which I've had for over twenty years. The...

Good day readers. I'm new to this site but have been checking in for almost a year now since discovering Dr Sarno and the term 'TMS'. I've had TMS for over twenty years and am now almost completely pain free, all thanks Dr Sarno, Steve Ozanich’s book “The Great Pain Deception” and TMS wiki...

Fourth of July fireworks I was 5 years old and lived in a small town in New Hampshire. Our house was right across the street from the town common. I was so excited in that the fourth of July fireworks were going to be launched in the common within just a few hundred feet of our front door. I had...
