symptoms

Hi everyone, I am not new to the notion of TMS and have definitely had bouts of pain in various places which I've overcome simply by belief my body is ok and calming my nervous system. Part of my pain issues have been back related on some occasions and piriformis/hamstring related on others...

One of the hardest parts in this whole mind/body healing is the concept of BELIEF. We hear that we must have 100% belief. Most of the writers of our beloved TMS books spend the majority of the book developing belief, and precious little in the actual “what to do” portion. Why? Because belief...

Your symptoms are going crazy and totally have you in pain and fear and then you read or hear that you should be “indifferent” to the symptoms. Seriously? How in the world? Worry not, gentle reader, I have a few ideas for you. I like to work with the gray areas when coaching clients through...

Hi everyone, I’m new here (go easy on me) and I really just need someone to tell me I’m not losing my mind! To give a bit of background, I had an episode of vertigo in September and the doctors kept saying it was nothing to worry about and giving me a whole variety of medications, none of...

Hi guys, I’ve been on this TMS journey for a while now but something that’s confused me for a bit is anxiety vs tms. I worry about the pain a lot and fear it too which seems to make it worse. From what I gather pain symptoms stay because we are afraid of them, is that any different from anxiety...

How long does it take to observe reduction in pain after I started practicing TMS excercises ?

With the exception of low blood pressure. White coat syndrome raises your blood pressure when you go to the doctor so your low blood pressure will be normal. Excluding that, have your symptoms ever disappeared at the dr?

OK, so I'm going to preface this story with that I'm aware I'm going to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but here is what I've been going through. I overcame a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia with help from TMS wiki and the Curable app a couple of years ago. In Jan 2021 I contracted Covid. Had a...

Maybe your back pain is gone but you get something different and less preferable? Is there like an extinction burst when you grasp that your pain is TMS? Can this make the overall situation worse?

“Send yourself messages of safety.” “Be indifferent to the pain.” “Stop trying to heal.” “Lean in.” I’m sure you’ve heard all these phrases and if you are anything like I was when I started this journey, they just confused me and frustrated me more. What the h does “lean in” even mean? And...

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 have done a few somatic tracking sessions and symptoms are flaring up afterward, but eventually die down. I did one about an hour for 10 minutes. But now I’m worse than ever. Symptoms are majorly flaring and my emotions are revved up. I suspect that is temporary like previous sessions and...

Hi everyone, I have just recently become aware of TMS, and would really appreciate if anyone could clarify if one of my symptoms could be TMS-related. I have been experiencing numerous symptoms for 3 years - predominantly lower back pain, as well as foot, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, groin...

Hi, I’m a 23 year old male and I have chronic joint pain. I’ll try to be as brief as possible with my story and symptoms. 11 yrs old - Pop something in hip doing a high kick in karate, terribly sharp pain. Pain went away after going easy on it for a month. For the rest of my life this hip was...

Hi everyone, After about 2/3 months of serious TMS treatment, my lower back pain has reduced about 90% (it fluctuates every now and then but it's always tolerable), but now I have been feeling extremely anxious/tense virtually all the time. I always feel like I'm behind despite working so...

I am struggling with doubt and just making heads or tales of what is happening. I have been running for two weeks and yesterday had a big flair in knee pain (bilateral) and more acutely at a surgery site in my right knee (feb. 2021) after 1.5 weeks of no pain. Then my right forearm is...

Since TMS theory states that we should not act bothered by our symptoms and we should express our repressed anger-- what do you do if you have anger about your symptoms? Should I express it or ignore it? Haven't seen this addressed in all I've read about TMS. Mostly they talk about being afraid...

Hi everyone I have a conundrum. I have dysautonomia, which I have managed to greatly improve through TMS work. I know that I can heal, but I lack self belief. Part of this is because I have one very scary symptom that I struggle to overcome. When I sit, stand, or bend, my heart rate and BP...

I'll be as brief as I can. I've had TMS for 15 years: pelvic pain, stomach pain, nerve burning, back pain, chest pain, you name it. But...in 2008, I had a very real brain aneurysm, and was saved via surgery. I was fine both cognitively and emotionally immediately after the surgery, but...

I’ve been battling severe depression and anxiety for quite a while and today I’ve made some progress in significantly reducing the symptoms, but afterwards I was hit with some strong flu like symptoms: Achy joints, fatigue and weakness, and chills. I’ve been worried maybe I’ve gotten sick...
