    Pain Relief

    I am very sensitive to meds but I’m exploring my options. Has any of you used meds eg gabapentin, LDN, amytriptalin etc to help reduce pain? If so, what were your experiences in terms of pain relief and side effects? I'm trialling LDN at a super low dose now but previously tried amytriptaline...

    The onion is unpeeling

    Had a bad dream last night. I was a kid from a family that had no food. The parents were nonexistent—not helping. Maybe drunk asleep. It was dark and really scary. It felt like total abandonment. When I woke up, I was devastated. I realized that’s what my childhood felt like. (The abandonment...

    Pain Relief

    Has anyone on this forum used pain relief drugs during their TMS journey to make their life more comfortable? I'm thinking about going on Low Dose Naltrexone. TMS symptoms could take weeks, months, years to subside (depending on the individual) and I'm thinking that making life more bearable to...

    Do things!!!

    Action is what ultimately gets you better; not talking about getting better; not reading about getting better; not listening to things about getting better. All of those passive activities do -yes- help, but what really kicks your TMS’s butt is doing stuff. (And it is sooooooo hard! Because it...

    ‘Pit your conscious will against your unconscious’ -John Sarno

    From: John Sarno, The Mind Body Prescription “When the pain is severe, it is difficult to concentrate on feelings, but you must regard the process as a contest in which your conscious will is pitted against the unconscious…” Sarno says you don’t necessarily have to figure out what is causing...

    Do you do anything you'd call therapeutic crying?

    I have this specific practice I wanted to share about and see if it resonated with others. I stumbled into it while trying energy healing (as a lifelong skeptic). Does anyone else do anything similar? Do you agree with my assessment of how it works? I refer to it as emotional release...

    Opiates and relief (not during but the day after!)

    Hi everyone, its been a while since I've been here. I've had substantial pain and tension when using my voice for 6.5 years, and still have to limit the amount I speak daily, often to not speaking at all. Its really turned my life upside down, and although I believe a huge portion of it is TMS...
