Hi All, Just looking for peoples' thoughts on sleep! My personal experience is that, although I can usually sleep through the night, I wake up exhausted and anxious. I think my TMS-type thoughts are making sleep a grind. It's been a decade since I've woken up feeling rested. Grinding teeth...

Hi everyone! I would have never believed anyone if they were to tell me that I would to heal from TMS, but here I am... 5 years later, to tell you that I have. Yes 5 years, it's been a long and hard battle. It did not just happen overnight. I worked hard every day to achieve this. Let me just...
