    Eczema and how to feel your emotions

    So I’ve recovered from a bunch of TMS-symptoms throughout the years, but I’m still somewhat caught in the symptom imperative so I’m clearly not completely out of the woods yet. That said, the intensity of the symptoms are not as high as before, and I’ve been able to take a lot of my life back...

    Tooth loss and mouth symptoms - uvulitis?!?

    Hi, my second lower molar fell down, remaining only the root of the tooth. I immediately felt a sensation on the uvula, like something was stuck in there, or a gag reflex felling. But I notice that the tooth was on my tongue, Im not sure if I recover every piece of it, plus the composite. This...

    Symptoms multiplied

    Hello, I have been suffering from TMS for 6 years. 18 months ago I applied Dr. Sarno’s theory, but after 4-5 months the symptoms multiplied and increased and so I had to give up. I calmed down for several months, then looked at other approaches like Gordon’s, but it was not going in the right...

    The Quiet Release: Losing Mind/Body Symptoms When Hope Is Gone & In The Absence Of Encouragement

    In the paragraphs below is what I found to be true from my personal experience of going from being housebound and bedridden (with extremely severe muscle pain and overwhelming undue fatigue) to now functioning pretty well by comparison (albeit I am not completely mind/body symptom free). When...

    Why are symptoms so much worse?

    So I thought things were getting better, my symptoms continued but were starting later in the day, I was doing more and the symptoms continued but bothered me less. I was more positive and noticed some days 45 minutes would pass without thinking about my headaches a long way from April when I...

    Being happy about disappearing symptoms immediately bring them back on?

    Does anyone else experience this? It feels like I can’t celebrate the small victories, because as soon as I think about it, the symptoms are roaming back. Ridiculous! is it common?

    Interesting things I noticed today - all the symptoms but all minor

    Today I experienced something kind of different. The rotating symptoms within a day has happened to me before, but it is usually fewer symptoms and they come with more intensity. But today I think I had every single symptom that I have experienced over the last year or so. Some have not occurred...

    For those dealing with visual symptoms

    Please go down this rabbit hole about these symptoms in particular and understand that they are TMS: In particular, that binocular vision disorder is a "normal abnormality" like a herniated disc or whatever -- not usually a problem (though when severe, can be -- but usually it's not severe)...

    Symptom imperative on hyperdrive

    The symptom imperative is throwing everything at me today after I lived a "normal" day yesterday. Every symptom. Everything. UGH.

    6-Month Baby Steps Programme: Safety Messages for Mind/Body Pain and Other Symptoms

    Hi, everyone! I put together the following for myself and am starting to implement it as, although vastly improved from being bedridden and functioning pretty well by comparison these days, I felt in need of a plan to incorporate and make a daily habit of giving myself 'messages of safety' to...

    Pelvic tms symptoms flare up

    I went through a lot the last few months. A job I didn’t get, which gave me rejection anxiety. I have a tms coach. We do hypnosis and internal family systems. It started around Easter. Sensations that were lessened from my last pelvic flare up in 2022. Tight pelvis, feels like my “protector” is...

    Watching The Symptoms

    Don't mind me, I'm just going to babble here for a moment. I am currently in the throws of quite a flare. I have been diagnosed with "pudendal neuralgia" and "vulvodynia" and my main troublesome symptom now is itching all along my pelvic floor from my pubic bone to my tailbone. It honestly...

    Funny names for your symptoms?

    I was listening to the most recent episode of the The Mind and Fitness Podcast this AM that had a Mindbody PT on it talking about her practice and how she did Pain Reprocessing Therapy. She would bring in "jokes" while she was doing this and said something about a Meerkat. I totally cracked up...

    Day 15 Symptoms moving around

    Well, yes, the symptom imperative has been playing with me almost since the beginning! I still have my biggest issues in place, but I do think they are a little better. But as I shared on another thread, I had my first big exception the night before last when the body aches left me for an hour...

    Severe Symptoms & Steve O's Book

    I've have read a number of books on TMS/MBS over the past several weeks. One message I see throughout some of the books is that if one has severe and debilitating symptoms e.g. fibromyalgia then resolving TMS issues on your own is not going to work. It is recommended that the patient seeks...

    Worsening of symptoms with journaling

    I am certain I have tms and believe that mind body work will heal my excruciating knee pain. Every time I journal the pain gets really bad. I work for a primary school and will be on summer break in a month. It is really hard to work like this but I keep thinking if I can just hold out until...

    What if there is real illness but I think my fears are making the symptoms much worse?

    I know this is a long shot, but I am wondering if anyone on this Wiki has NTM - Nontuberculous Mycobacteria lung disease. I believe in this work and have overcome a chronic pain condition after finding Sarno and this wiki. And I know that we need to first rule out a serious medical condition...

    Ladies! Do your symptoms ever increase before/during your period?

    Since I have been more focused on TMS healing modalities and following along with them since October, my brain has been fighting back as much as it can. It doesn’t scare me as I know what it is. I have been going through quite a few symptoms imperatives/add on symptoms since losing my fear of my...

    Crazy Symptoms

    I had a cruel childhood, emotionally neglected; mother has NPD symptoms and father had psychopathic tendencies (very selfish, no empathy). I made a life for myself by getting degrees and a solid job in IT. I lived on my own, independently, for over a decade. I loved my own company, did a lot...

    Non bothering TMS symptoms?

    As posted earlier I am here because of my GI issues I developed last year. Nevertheless, I also suffer from tinnitus und minor neuropathy in my feet. So far, i did not consider them as TMS. I have habituated to both a long time ago and they do not bother me most of the time. In fact, I can go...
