pain in the body

Hi everyone, I’m new to the whole TMS journey, and I’m still trying to understand how to deal with changes in my symptoms while focusing on my emotional work. For some context: I’ve been tapering off clonazepam for about a month now. I only took it for two months, after anxiety completely...

To set the scene: 4/30/25 I could barely walk yet again with a dystonia flare up/pain. I was so terrified of my 3 weeks Florida vacation with tons of walking at Disney and looking into purchasing a mobility scooter. 5/1/25 I said let's go all in on trying this TMS thing. About 2 weeks later my...

I questioned this assertion as being too narrow when I was reading Healing Back pain and assumed it was because it was an older book, but now I am getting through the Mindbody Prescription, Dr. Sarno still states it: "As for muscle, the brain has chosen to target only what are known as postural...

Something interesting I was thinking about today. After being very weak for a year, I finally started exercising a month ago. It’s been great! I actually look forward to it now and I don’t put up with shenanigans from my symptoms— I ignore them. I power through and I actually enjoy my exercise...

Hello everyone! I just gained some trust in the diagnosis when i came around to this comment under a Dr. Schubiner Video on Youtube: „This view overlooks many studies. Over 70% of the nerve fibres in the body are designed to do one thing - register pain. If those nerve fibres or nerve routes...

Hello, I have had pain on the right side of my lower half of my body, stemming from an injury to a testicle two years ago. Since then I have had pain that has moved around the lower right half of my body, including hamstring, pubic area and anterior thigh. The doctors were not able to find...

Hello, this is my first post and I want to talk about how I've found myself in this forum and then ask my question. Please read though. I am 27 years old. My back pain story started about 3 years ago, during a weightlifting day. While on the bench, I put pressure on my neck and my neck muscles...

Where are my peeps that are “over-thinkers?” Uh-huh. I see you, and I got you covered with a handy little tool to get you out of your head and into experiencing your emotions. Because experiencing your emotions leads to a richer life and a lot less chronic pain! I present to you the...

Here's a new game for us all to play! To highlight the vast array of ridiculous diagnoses out there and also to illustrate the many ways that TMS shows up, post a comment on your most ridiculous diagnosis ever received that was in the end TMS in disguise. I'll go first... I was once told by a...

https://today.duke.edu/2020/05/neurobiologist-finds-potent-pain-suppression-center-brain (Neurobiologist Finds Potent Pain-Suppression Center in the Brain) Interesting how the key to turning off pain resides in the same location in the brain where fight-flight-freeze response is also generated...

I’m tired of always having to push myself to do things. I feel like I have to constantly talk to myself to get up and get going and continue on. It’s exhausting! I just want to be and not think about it all the time. Does anyone else feel that way? I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 14...

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 everyone, I have a question which I could not get really answered searching the web or this forum. In the TMS theory distinction is made between unconsciousness and consciousness. However, it is not clear to me whether by unconsciousness, actually the unconsciousness is meant, or the...

Hi everyone! I’m very new to the TMS Wiki, but so far from reading it, I have been convinced more and more that I have TMS as my pain stemmed from the combination of emotional, physical and mental pain that really brought my brain into an overdrive and I experienced physical pain as a result...

Hi Everyone, Just discovered this site, what a relieve and really great that so much knowledge and experiences are being shared here! Good to recognize I am not going crazy ;-) I am from Holland, and here TMS is not so much of a 'thing', people look at me as if I am crazy when I tell them...

Anyone ever got diagnosed with this ? -never heard of it. I had no symptoms--popped up on a chest x ray Would any symptoms be TMS or real ? https://www.emedicinehealth.com/spondylosis/article_em.htm#spondylosis_facts (What Is Spondylosis? Causes, Symptoms, Treatment & Surgery)

Ya'll i've been asked this question from several therapists over the years. It's always been a huge stumbling block. As someone who does yoga every week for 18 years, and been in tons of therapy, practices a 12 step recovery program...and does tons of introspection:::: I NEVER KNOW WHAT THE...
