Hi everyone! My name is Emily and for 4.5 years, I lived with chronic pain and symptoms that moved throughout my body. During that time, I received many different diagnoses and experienced symptoms in multiple areas, including: Cubital tunnel syndrome Golfer’s elbow (both arms) Small fiber...

You could say I've had "TMJ" since adolescence. I started grinding my teeth at a young age, had retainers (that frequently disappeared), and it's never really gotten better. I just sort of got used to my jaw separating & clicking whenever I open my mouth past a certain point. Over the years it's...

Success story I wrote for the journal speak group I was in. This is my success story from hypermobile CTD and fibro dx after 5+ years of TMS work. I know how important success stories were for me when I started. Mindbody work has saved my life and I have become obsessed with taking my body to...

I know TMJ is super common & probably should be on page #1 when compiling symptoms for a TMS diagnosis. I've been dealing the symptoms in varying severity and since adolescence. Stress and clenched jaw muscles of course always exacerbate things, even when I'm not grinding (that's stopped years...

Hi folks, I wonder if there's anyone out there who can help stem what I believe to be the root of my fear. As a bit of context, I've been pretty deep into the TMS world/research for a few years now. I've done all the required reading (and more), and the SEP. In that time I've seen some quite...

Hi everyone, I’ve been dealing with tight jaw muscles for at least 10 years, also sensitive and painful teeth, crackling sound when I swallow, headaches and face pain,.. I saw an orthodontist and he told me I probably need a surgery to expand my palate in order to correct my crossbite so that my...

OK, this is embarrassing to talk about but I need this suffering to end. Also, I'm sorry, this is a long post too, but please read through everything to get the full picture. Thank you so much. About 3 months aagho I was diagnosed with Pinworms (gross I know). I do believe i saw worms in my...

Hi There, I am a 32 year old.. life was perfect, I had an amazing social life, family, amazing career, physically extremely fit ...but life took a turn..10 months ago... - I think i have had high performing anxiety for years (undiagnosed) and i was always told that I am a sensitive person. -A...

I am so glad I found this forum. I started to practice mind body (TMS) method about a month ago. It helped me from being bed bound to being active again. I suffered from long Covid for almost 2 years and most of my symptoms were gone or reduced in level just after 2 weeks of doing TMS. However...

Hi, i guess I’m posting here because I don’t know where else to post and I’m in need of some reassurance. I know reassurance checking isn’t the best idea with tms but I feel so low and broken and I just don’t know what else to do anymore. I’m 27, from the uk and my tms started when I was 5...

Hi there, This is my first post and heres a summary of my story. March 2020 I was going through an incredible amount of stress. I was clenching my teeth day and night so I bought a cheap nightguard on amazon to protect my teeth in my sleep. I had no pain at this stage and simply thought i...

Hi Everyone I’ve posted elsewhere about my anxiety, TMS and the sheer amount of terrifying symptoms I’ve successfully overcome over a very long period of time but my jaw pain, emanating from the masseter muscle, is currently bugging me but not getting me down like it used to. What baffles me...

Wiki peeps, I have had neck pain as long as i can remember a stiffness on both sides. Sometimes pain but also a feeling that it needs to be cracked! In my shoulders also and now in recent years my jaw and face on the right side as well as my left hip. I am basically pretty uncomfortable all...

Hello. I was wondering if you could help me out. I don't hear a lot of success stories on Trigeminal Neuralgia and I was wondering if you think I might have TMS as this is truly what is keeping me from moving forward... believing there is nothing structurally wrong with me. I have TMJ for years...

So my symptoms started 6 months ago which I attributed to going hard in the gym, weight lifting. I started to get itching/burning all over my genitals, groin and anal area. I would have horrific burning especially when I would be sitting down all over my sitting area as if on fire. I figured it...

My TMS recovery story is long and complicated, but I wanted to share it because I've recovered from more forms of TMS than most people ever experience! It started in my mid-twenties with TMJ pain as well as back and neck pain, and going to the chiropractor and doing PT helped sometimes. Then...

can someone help me make sense of this. So my jaw has been stuck on the left side since February. I’ve gone through PT, chiro, acupuncture, several tmj doctors... nothing has unstuck it. This last time an mri showed that the disc on the left was flattened and moved forward limiting my range of...

After a few years of severe ear pains, I finally went to see an ear, throat and nose doctor today, as recommended by my mother. It took the doctor 15 minutes to figure out that I have TMJ- my mom, who was with me, is a nurse, couldn't believe. She didn't realize it before. Partially that was...

Hi, I read Sarno's books + the great pain deception, reading a lot on the forum and listen to Nicole Sachs's podcasts. Still I sometimes think there i something physically wrong with me. My upper back, shoulders, neck are always feeling thight. It gives me chronic tension headaches, TMJ and...

Hello all. I found Sarnos work a few months ago now and have read Mind-Body Prescription a few times as well as Dr Claire Weekes Pass Through Panic. I am now doing Schubiners 28 day Unlearn Your Pain workbook. Anyways, I wanted to start a new thread to discuss all my nasty symptoms in the hopes...
