    Hello everyone I really want help with this

    Hey everyone, I’m a 32-year-old guy. About three years ago, while traveling, I got a really painful anal fissure. Since then, I’ve been dealing with severe anal and perineal pain. It lasted for about four months, went away for a bit, then came back in the winter of 2023 even worse. Doctors...

    Hypertonic pelvic floor, Recurrent posterior commissure fissure

    Hello everyone, I’m a new member here and I’m really hoping for your support. I first discovered TMS back in 2017 through the Panic Away program (now called DARE). Dr. Sarno’s books helped me immensely, along with the support I received from regular people on the Panic Away forum. At that...

    Abdominophrenic Dyssynergia and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

    I've been told the reason why I feel it hard to breathe when I inhale is because I have dyssynergia of breathing (APD/PFD). Basically, from what I understand, instead of my diaphragm moving directly down it's pushing on my abdominal wall and isn't relaxing. It's a horrid feeling and I can't...

    Can Vulvar Itching Be TMS? Has anyone else experienced this?

    So, for the past year I have had on and off vulvar itching. It feels like needle pricks (like if you’ve ever gotten bitten by a bug or fleas or something) and general tickling/bugs crawling. I notice that if I am doing something that takes my mind off of it, I don’t have itching but if I am...

    TMS and Pelvic Floor Pain; is the mind playing tricks?

    Hello, Last time I wrote here I got amazing advice so thought I’d give it another spin.

    Hi all, I've just decided this forum because I'm in desperate need of comfort/answers regarding my one of my test results.
