Day 4 A lifelong condition

[houseplants29]

The most disheartening thing a doctor told me about my symptoms is that they may be lifelong. In the case of long COVID, they simply shrug and say it's so new, we don't know. In the case of daily headache from long COVID, my neurologist told me it could be a lifelong condition. I've kept it in my mind in the way that I've accepted it and almost become resigned to managing daily pain. You kind of have to learn to take it in stride in order to cope and keep going. Learning about TMS is challenging this notion because for the first time, I feel like I don't just need to manage my chronic pain, I could actually cure it.

Well said! Having TMS means you can heal yourself. Now it will take time and you will have to figure out what works for you-but now you are on the road to healing!!

A rheumatologist and endocrinologist told me my condition wasn't curable because of my genetic mutation causing my connective tissue to induce hypermobility. They were wrong and I'm cured.
