tms flare up

Hi everyone, I have this new form of panic attack going on that happens during sleep. It’s basically my entire body burning and being clenched. I wake up certain that I’m dying. It takes me awhile to come to and realize, “Oh, it’s only you, TMS.” Still, even being aware of it, I’m ultimately...

So, I’ve been journaling up a storm, and uncovering some surprise layers of rage and even sorrow. Meanwhile, my symptoms are spiking like crazy. I’m so tempted to get discouraged. Because I’m working really hard and it feels like I’m getting nowhere. Well, I take that back. I’m definitely...

Hi I have been practising the mind body principle for a while now and although the discomfort to my chest & ribs (costochonditris) is still the same I have had a breakthrough with emotions. I have suffered with stabbing, burning and numbing pain, originally in the left chest pec but over the...

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 all, as someone who is many times "hanging on by a thread" I dedicate this song ❤️ And please remember that even if we're alone we still have friends in the TMS Forum :cat:

I posted for the first time on this website less than a week ago, and I learnt of TMS less than 10 days ago. Since then, I’ve felt a difference in my pain from a 8/10 to a 3/10 and started going for daily walks to learn more about TMS. Since Monday, 3-4 days ago, my anxiety is through the...

Many of you know me; I’ve been here for years now, off and on. For those that don’t, I’ve been recovering from TMS for about 6 years now, from fibro, myofascial pain syndrome, carpal tunnel, TOS, IBS, back, shoulder, and hip pain, and more. Some days, I do awesome and others not so much. This...

Haven’t been on for a while, but something has been really bugging me. I went to the doctor with what seemed like a bladder infection but was actually vaginal atrophy that I was then prescribed vaginal estrogen cream. I first took 2 grams every night for two weeks and then 1 gram 3 times/week...

Hi all, I just passed my 8-month mark at my job and for the most part, love it. Is there stress? Of course, that comes with the territory. I typically do well, even though I still have some pain. I’ve also been going deeper into therapy and learning a lot about my childhood and interestingly...

Yep, TMS reared its ugly head the last few months, but I thought I could beat it like I did before; however, I’ve now added leg cramps to my list, which sometimes wakes me from a dead sleep or first thing in the morning. I was treadmill walking, which seemed to make it worse, so stopped it for a...

Hello! It's been a while since I've really struggled with TMS. I've been dealing with lower back pain/sciatica/piriformis syndrome on and off for a few years, but I've been doing very well until recently. Now I think it has moved to my shoulder, but I'm not sure! Here's the story: I was doing...

So, I’m going on three months of my new job and I love it!! Even though, I still have symptoms, pretty much daily, I don’t fear them anymore. In two weeks, we leave for Thailand and I’ve been doing what I can to stay ahead at work, so when I come back, I don’t have a backlog of stuff to...

I've heard the metaphor that TMS is like a boiling pot thats got too my pressure and boils over. If we are to look at our emotions, but we have so much pressure that its now become unbearable mentally, so the body creates pain, then how are we to look at what is unbearable emotionally(likely a...

This sounds weird, but I was stung on my wrist by a wasp four weeks ago, which hurt like a motherf****. I put aloe vera on it and it seemed to get better, however, two weeks after that, it started itching like crazy and the site started swelling again. I went to my doctor and he thought it was...

So, started my new job three weeks ago, and of course, it’s been a little hectic trying to learn everything about the company and my responsibilities. In short though, I love it! Now, this is where the conundrum comes in. I like it so much that I don’t want to lose it, yet, TMS is rearing its...

Hey everyone, Hope everyone is doing well and having a great summer! It’s been some time since I posted - just been living my life, mainly pain-free!! In the last number of months, I have worked very little on my TMS, only doing two things: repeating my mantra of “I am safe; I am not in any...

Well, it's been 4 moths since I started my Sarno Journey. I have been pain and disability free for 4 months. That hasn't happened since I had my injury in 2014. I was so happy living life again like a normal person, unafraid of pain, knowing it was all psychological. Welllpppp, that all came to...

Have been good for a couple weeks from low back pain and sciatica. Been hiking and staying active. Played some soccer yesterday and today I’m moving like a mummy. My left hip and low back feel like they’re going to spasm. I’m off on vacation and have a family trip to the beach coming up on...

That should say RECOMMITMENT. :confused: Well guys, I am back and am more convinced than ever about TMS. The last number of months have been hell and I have gone on this merry go round of doubts about so many things. One, I have been trying to find a job since January and have been on 7...
