vacation

So, after a while of having hand and wrist pain and weakness, alternating between the left and right sides, I went to Norway last week. And for the entire week.....nothing. Not a flicker. I gripped the stair rails on a whale watching boat to stop myself from sliding over in the ice - nothing. I...

We are fixing to leave for our beach trip this weekend. I cannot wait! We go every year on Thanksgiving week because 1. I hate cooking and 2. My husband and I get time off during this week and we don’t have to use vacation time! A quick check in-I had a rough day yesterday. I resorted to...

I've been meaning to do a general update since I got back from vacation but you know, life gets lifey especially after being away for 3 weeks and I've had some challenges where my priority was to post for support about those. BUT... This TMS stuff works. (Yeah duh right?) I really started to...

Hi all! I went on vacation last week. And when I came back I started a new job this week. I expected that my nervous system would freak out a bit and it did. But I have to tell you one story that happened on the trip. First, I had a great time. I felt like my symptoms really calmed down...

I still have to do a vacation update which went REALLY well overall . I will do a separate thread. But here comes the spiral right? Even though I was expecting to have a worsening of symptoms (thank you @dlane2530 you prepared me). We got back 2 days ago and I have ran 2x since we got home...

To set the scene: 4/30/25 I could barely walk yet again with a dystonia flare up/pain. I was so terrified of my 3 weeks Florida vacation with tons of walking at Disney and looking into purchasing a mobility scooter. 5/1/25 I said let's go all in on trying this TMS thing. About 2 weeks later my...

Hi everyone, I'm back on the SEP while my therapist is away for a couple of weeks. Today I wrote an unsent letter to the effing incompetent optometrist who caused me so much trouble with my eyes. What an a**hole. (Usually I don't swear, but I find swearing in therapeutic situations...

Hello team: This is a weird TMS habit that I've developed recently. For whatever reason I have a tendency to get Upper GI stomach issues always either right before vacation or while I'm on vacation. I'm 1000% sure that it's TMS, because I literally start fearing the stomach issues when...

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...

I have had TMS symptoms for a few years. Mostly upper back/neck pain and pelvic pain. I have had many other symptoms though and some periods of very little pain. About 7 weeks ago it all got really bad right at the end of a week off from work. I got a TMS diagnosis from a TMS doctor and...

I'm set to leave America on thursday morning to fly and visit Central America for 2 plus months. While away from the states, I still intend to continue with the program and read up on the literature which focuses on TMS. Most of my psyche thinks this will be a great aid to focus strictly on my...

In looking back I realized that all my foot problems started the day my husband and I booked a vacation trip to France for my birthday. With small children at home it is very rare that the two of us get a chance to travel together. The last time was when we went to Italy in 2014. Just prior...
