symptoms

Hi, I have read about the extinction burst and also that the brain will create new symptoms as old ones leave. So far I am just getting more symptoms. I still have back pain, fatigue and trouble sleeping. In addition, I have pain in my right heel daily (an issue I had in 1995/6), pain in my...

One of my triggers is sitting. I see a moderate rise in pain while sitting, but nothing I can't handle. The fear/anxiety for me is that the sitting causes worse pain after the fact, like the next day. For example, yesterday hubs and I went to a friends house 30 miles away. I made myself sit the...

Hello everyone! I'm new here seeking some advice. I have already read a lot on this forum and find it a wonderful community! I have been having symptoms that I tend to attributing to TMS now for over 20 years I think (I'm 38). My problem is that I have so many different symptoms, all adding...

Hello everyone, I used to get RSI type pain in my wrists, which, thanks to the help of all the great people on this forum, dissipated back in 2014. Unfortunately, with the symptoms gone I started sliding back into my old habits. I stopped making the time to journal, I stopped thinking...

Hi all, Im new here. I recently read "Healing Back Pain" and am working toward accepting TMS as the cause of my 5 plus years of lower and upper back pain. As many of you have, I've had all the awful structural diagnoses in my lower back and was recently recommended a microdiscectomy by an...
