relapse

I wanted to let you all know that I have recovered from my recent relapse. I'm going to write about a few things I learned from the experience in case it helps others. I don't want to spend too much time here or discussing my TMS as I think it's important to not let TMS become too big a part of...

Darn! I have to admit to myself that I'm having a TMS relapse. It's my original diagnosis of symptoms of fibromyalgia (overall muscular-skeletal pain) that has come back. I first recovered from this in 2013 and have a had about one relapse a year since that time, though frequently the TMS...

Hi, I have not posted here before as I was a TMS expert and for years a TMS therapist and didn't feel the need. I have had periods of relapse over the past 30 years but always get through them quickly once I stop doubting it's anything but TMS. However, I have had hip and leg/buttock pain for...

I’m getting asked ‘how are you feeling? Shouldn’t you be resting? Are you better now?’ A lot! And it’s really irritating me and I think… sabotaging me. They’re enabling me to feel bad every time they drag it all up. Every time someone draws attention to my illness/pain I’m reminded of it and...

Relapse after 3 years pain free After 3 years of being pain free my life was going great. I suffered with Back pain that went all the way down my leg and then into my foot. It felt Like someone had put my leg and foot into burning hot lava then put a Blow torch onto it. One night I...

I'm a weightlifter. I've had RSI, at times severely disabling, since I was a young adult. For four years I had zero symptoms and my training was going incredible. Then out of nowhere, back pain, for the first time. No injury whatsoever. I was convinced I had some kind of disc issue, ligament...

I've been doing well but now my lower back is killing me and I'm having spasms. I have "talked to my brain" etc. but it hasn't helped. What do I do now?

I know this may be a bit longwinded, but I wanted to provide as many details as possible for others to help me understand if this is TMS or an actual nerve condition in my body. First, some details about me. I am a healthy, 5’9, 165lb, 49-year-old male with no major health issues. I am a very...

Hi, I started doing this emotional work by doing dr shubiners program of unlearn your pain. I was starting to feel much better but then out of no where, BOOM. I am back to square 1. Many people think chronic fatigue syndrome is just being tired. It’s so much more. Sore throat achy muscles. Feels...

I am on day 25 of the Structured Education Program. My recovery has been a slow grind with good days and then minor bumps but overall everything has been moving in a very positive direction. Until now. I am 24 years old and have a very stressful job. Today was the most stressful day in my 20...

Hi! I have been mostly pain free for about four months (yay!) and then had a bit of a relapse the last two weeks. Which has sparked me to hop on here and ask this question - What is to be expected with recovering from psychosomatic pain/tms? I'm trying to reframe so that I don't view myself...

I have a question about a relapse of pain. When i started hurting 2 months after I slipped & hurt my back, I went back to the basics of TMS that is not to fear the pain by continuing to live normally & to think about what was bothering me. Why did it not work & why did the pain persist...

Short history: About 20 years ago I suffered from back spasms for a few years and then met a friend who had gone to Dr. Sarno. All he had to do was explain the idea to me and it clicked. No real spasms since then and when they happen, I go to the gym and work it off. I've even taught the...

I’ve had an interesting amount of time since last writing. Great things and life is good. A few days ago I started getting vertigo, dizziness and spaced out feelings. Usually triggered when I start driving but also when I draw or write at times. Thought that also produces lots of anxiety. When I...

Hello I didn’t think I’d need to post again once I started to feel improvement but I’m seeking encouragement/advice on if this is normal. I feel truly the source of my pain over the last couple years is TMS.. I want my life back and feel devoted to this program. I had over a week of feeling...

When I first found out about TMS and began to believe my coccydynia is TMS I had very quick 50% improvement in pain. Then, when I really began to believe it and started "Unlearn Your Pain" and the SEP program here I've had days where the pain was 95% better. I had a few small relapses that...

I thought I'd share my recent experience of a severe TMS relapse in hopes that what I have to share may help someone else going through something similar. I recovered a few years ago from fibromyalgia, migraines, and a host of other TMS symptoms. Since my recovery I have occasionally had a...
