sleep

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...

I’ve been learning about the work of Dr. Sarno, Dan Buglio and TMS generally. I've managed to really improve some of my chronic issues. But theres this one health issue i have thats very rare, under researched and those that have struggle a lot with it. For context my TMS History: Age 12-18...

Do we have any more information about sleep apnea? I am soon to do a sleep study as i need 10-10.5 hours a night to feel normal and wake up every hour. I also fit the standard criteria of recessed jaw narrow palate and 4 pre molars removed so it could be a structural issue but i am also...

Decided to edit this for privacy. I basically had said that in my marriage, I am the one whose job it is to be alert. This is detrimental to my sleep and general well-being, and I need to take steps to change my behavior. Also, I'm a wreck full of pain today!!

The past couple of nights i haven’t been able to sleep because of bad upper stomach pain. The Dr. thinks its functional dyspepsia. He gave me some elavil but I have yet to try it. Anyway the insomnia makes the anxiety worse which makes the pain worse and its a cycle. Anyone have any experience...

I used to fall asleep sometimes even while driving, while this has gone better, I still could get tired and sleepy. I did sleep apnea test and it was alright, doctors said that I have nothing, but it's weird that I would fall asleep sometimes even during the day. Could this be TMS?

An easy read, in a true/false myth-busting format. For example: meditation is not the same as mindfulness, but rather a formal practice of mindfulness. And that No, mindfulness is "not easy, but it is simple"(which is also my essential take on TMS). Additional topics: breathing; mindfulness...

Hi there! Here comes the (success)story about my sleep problems and how I found a way to fix them, hoping that somebody with similar issues might benefit from reading about my experience. How my sleep problems started and what they looked like: First of all I have to say, I have never been a...

Hi everyone, I have long covid since dec 2020. Alan’s book (the way out) helped me so much! I discovered this forum lately and the advices & succes stories are really helpful. I still have symptoms every day, but it’s a lot less then a year ago. Only my sleep is really bad. Waking up realy...

Hello there - I've looked around the forum for a story similar to mine, but haven't found one that really fit, so here goes... In the early 2000s, I suddenly started having terrible recurring back pain, which would flare up every few months for no apparent reason and leave me bedridden for...

For those of you looking for free resources, Dr. David Hanscom announced this conference in his email newsletter today. It looks like a good fit with TMS theory (which of course is the basis of Dr. Hanscom's work). Key words and phrases on the website include anxiety, emotional rest...

i have had a pattern when i have less sleep, my pain flares-up frequently why does this happen?

Wondering if anyone who has gone thru the healing process has experienced something like this? Namely more "minor" symptoms (tinnitus, frequent urination) and sleep improving as a precursor to more "major" symptoms (pain, obsessive thinking) improving? I know @TG957 hinted at this in her book...

I haven't been on TMS wiki for a long time. I've been doing well minus a few hiccups caused by some stresses. Maybe what I have been experiencing is also a cause of stress. I've had some nights where I was having some TMS toward food and drink. This was a long battle for me when I was starting...

I had tried meditation repeatedly over several years knowing instinctively that it would be beneficial to me, but I could never enjoy it. I would sit and stare at a candle flame while my legs slowly went numb and my back ached. Even on the best of days, I only felt more pain during meditation...

Hi Everyone, My name is Christie and I have been on a health journey for 8 plus years now. I got diagnosed with chronic daily migraines but after working on my health I got rid of them. However, I still have really bad tension and tension headaches which are ruining my life. I am really...

Well, I’ve been at this for a bit and do see the pain for what it is, a product of my brain. It’s been up and down of course and I strive to calm my nervous system and embrace confidence in TMS as well as outcome independence. I’m not perfect at it, but I am moving towards it. I’ve had some...

Done a lot of reading, listening and talking about TMS both from Sarno, Schubiner and Gordon's books and from the Curable groups program. I've found the most success for the Chronic Fatigue and various other issues that started 5 years ago. However, my biggest issues still remain: Chronic...
