nervous system

I almost hate to report this, for fear of jinxing myself. lol. But it’s been 2 1/2 years since my hands and arms cramped up as a final symptom on a pile of them that added up to a very stressed out nervous system. My whole body is loosening very slowly, and mostly only noticeable to me. I can...

This video just showed up on my feed. It’s by Anandi Sano. (Never heard of her.) It enthralled me. The answer is the body. It’s about being fully present in the body and how that can heal your nervous system. Your body knows what to do. It encapsulates so many things I’ve been learning and...

For those who don't know me, my story is that I have progressed from episodes of being bedridden (for a total of circa 18 months) and housebound, and virtually housebound (for many years) with mind/body/TMS symptoms to these days functioning pretty well by comparison. I achieved this...

Wondering about migrating TMS pain. I am experiencing a return to the worst physical and mental pain since I initially got sick decades ago, and now all the pain I’ve 'treated' with good diets, medication etc have come back all at once. My nervous system is going crazy in the last 2 weeks. and...

My TMS coach is also a pain specialist - she practices a wide variety (all inter related) of modalities of approaches to TMS or neuroplastic symptoms, and every few months writes a great blog post relating to some new tidbit she has found or to her own experiences as an athlete. This month she...

I got a nervous system that is very dysregulated so no matter what I do get one fight or flight a day and it destroys my tms healing of my ohysical chronic pain. So how do I deal with this? How do I stop the daily fight or flights so I can focus on bringing my body into a calm healing mode? I'...

Hey! I am looking for some resources about OCD, mostly obsessive thinking, and itsrelationship to chronic pain. I am also interested in any books etc. on befriending your nervous system. Thanks in advance!

Do you have a habit of intensity? I mean this in all seriousness. Do you approach your whole life with intense pressure? Intense expectations, intense responses to others, intense scrutiny of every thought and emotion that you have? Especially after learning about the mind/body connection...

We understand that our thoughts, emotions and physical symptoms are intertwined. Everyone understands blushing or crying as a physical response to our inner world. But just how does our mental and emotional world affect us and what is at the top? Where does it all start? I like to think of...

Question: What do you purely love to do for enjoyment? Not what you should do, need to do, or would make tomorrow run more smoothly…but what you JUST LOVE DOING…for the pure reason that you relish it. Got your answer? Now, how many hours have you spent doing these things in the past week? No...

I recently did an interview and was asked about what I saw as a common mistake that those who have TMS, have been trying to heal and yet have not found symptom relief are making. The answer was easy. Program hopping… where an individual dabbles in this modality and that one, reading a bit here...

I've had so many revelations about myself, but I noticed I've been still searching deeper and deeper for answers. As of this moment in time, I have to be 100% honest with myself: I've always had the answers. I've ALWAYS known my issues stemmed from anxiety and fear (and oversensitized nerves)...

Hi guys, I’m really struggling with my nervous system being in fight or flight. In the last few months I’ve developed ringing in ears, sound sensitivity, tooth sensitivity, lip tingling, blurry vision, TMJ, etc. Looking for advise please.

I had a thought that I wanted to inquire of anyone listening, related to a few previous threads. The subconscious doesn't play by the rules of time (at least not well) - and Sarno says things clear up over weeks/months as you do the thinking/journaling, which it has for me in some part...but is...

Hi All, I just got off the the phone with someone who is succeeding in dealing with long-term TMS symptoms --digestive in this case, and I want to put to words some things which are subtle and synergistic in the path to wellness, as we use Dr. Sarno's approach. Long-time folks here will...

hello fellow TMS’ers. I’m still understanding and learning about TMS. I am journaling and reading! Something I’m trying to understand is when I do journal about my past or present or when I’m around a situation that is upsetting or stressful or even exciting I feel it on my skin. It comes in...

I read about the parasympathetic nervous system in Steven's book 'Great Pain Deception' and am curious what aspects are involved in it as part of your daily practice. Here's what I'm working on: In the morning: Relaxation Response by Herbert Benson...

Hi everyone, I do believe in TMS. My entire adult life I've gone from one "nerve" issue to another. I won't list them. Now, they just hop around faster, so I take it I haven't 100% committed to the psychological aspect. I used to go to doctors for the issues, but I don't now. The internet...
