stuck

The last time I posted, I was struggling because I was struck. I was using the Curable app and instead of seeing relief, my symptoms would just change and move. I got some excellent advice from y'all and did see some improvement and even days were I could feel pain free! It was wonderful...

Hello everyone. I thought I would give an update that's honest and just a little writing/journaling exercise if I am allowed to post something like that here. It's been over a year and a half of back pain now. Specifically, about one year of acute back pain. Now, my last intense bed-ridden...

I have been suffering for a number of years from extreme anxiety and sensitization, which is only seemingly to somehow get worse. Everyday I wake up in the morning to feelings of panics in my body, even though nothing is happening. Long story short, I was in a living situation that traumaized...

I seem to be a little stuck between being a victim (feeling sorry for myself) and wanting to be more compassionate towards myself. I realised today I have said (normally to myself) and journaled ITS NOT FAIR way too many times. Now I know being the victim is unhelpful, I think some of this is...

This was going to be a post in a thread but i didn’t think it would be helpful to derail with what is probably going to be seen as just negativity. I just feel like every time I visit this site, I see the same members, clearly still in the thick of things, giving advice to others as if they...

Hi everyone! It's been a while. I was feeling not too terrible up until Christmas and it's been difficult. Went on a trip out of the country last month and emotionally, it did more harm than good. (Also physically, since I got cold and stomach bug, yikes) I feel like I'm recovering from this...

Wondering if anyone has experience stuck song syndrome as a TMS symptom? A few years ago I recovered from RSI through TMS healing. After a recent traumatic event I seem to have parts of songs constantly stuck in my head which makes it really tricky to relax. Wondering if anyone has experienced...

One of the most valuable tibits of wisdom that @TG957 imparts in her book (and there are MANY) Defying the Verdict (which is a great TMS read for anyone!) is plateau's. This is how she describes being at point in her healing where she felt that she was not "progressing" but not "regressing" -...

I've read a lot of success stories of people treating pelvic pain using mind body approaches. I try to feel optimistic that these practices will help me but at this moment I'm struggling to accept that the pain I'm dealing with is not structural. I've been in pain since 2017 and the pain has...

Hi all I'll try and keep this succinct. I have been doing TMS work on and off for 2.5 years. I cured a ton of my symptoms 18 months or so ago, but have been left with POTS, gastro issues and tinnitus that just won't budge (alongside the usual aches and pains etc). My POTS is actually a symptom...

Like, really, really hate it. I moved myself five years ago (except of course for the things that needed to be in a moving van) and I have a lot of stuff. Boxes and boxes and carloads of stuff, all because I didn't want to ask friends or family for assistance. They would have been glad to...

In 2018, I worked my way through 75 percent of the SEP, improved significantly, and decided I had a handle on this TMS s--t, right? Well, no. I was also going through a major life event, the end of my 30-year marriage and all the awful fallout from that, especially the impact on my kids. Bit by...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum (although I've been reading you for several years already). I first read Sarno's books 12 years ago, when I spent 6 months with a lower back pain that was completely paralyzing me. I was wondering if some of you are prone to develop tms in spots where a real...

I had made great progress in 2019, not pain free but more pain free periods of time and probably would have considered myself “recovered” from acute TMS. And then in Nov of 2019 an old pain came back and it has just been kicking my butt for a year now. I used to have pains move about - now it’s...

At the beginning of this journey I had a big decrease in pain because I understood that two things were at play : either I have something structural and it will heal or I have neural pathway pain and i can influence it calming down. now, two years into my journey with psychogenic pain, I feel...

I was too, many relapses. Have a listen to this podcast, it may very well help. https://audioboom.com/posts/7173184-057-kevin-martillo-viner-phd?fbclid=IwAR1CxclQBTuxw9OumREHNhwRIcY_2wKTHcUQa5bW77_fiUvHT897Bv7T8NA (Audioboom / 057 - Kevin Martillo Viner, PhD) With love, Dr. Kevin Martillo Viner

after 3 months of writing and meditating almost every day I am really beginning to accept this is TMS. I have had low back and butt pain for about 2 months. I have a couple good days a week and those good days are getting better. I have occasional days with virtually no pain at all. The...

I don’t want to be a downer ... but here I am again, posting the same message again. No amount of ignoring, Claire Weekes, Alan Gordon, therapy, distraction, meditation, relaxation, medication, exercise, reassurance, moving on with life, self-talk, etc has helped me get out of this many-year rut...

I still haven’t made any progress, despite attempting to treat my pain the TMS way for 8 years. I’m still full of doubt, fear, and frustration despite overwhelming evidence that this is psychological. I’ve read all the books, done all the programs. Where can I turn? How does one address the fear...
