Day 1 Feeling hopeful!

Hello everyone, I just stumbled across this forum and TMS, and it seems to be just what I'm looking for.

Just after new year 2020 I had a bad panic attack, and it triggered a physical response in my body that has stayed with me ever since. I have constant irritation in my sinuses (despite no congestion or signs of infection), tension and pain in my face muscles, and pressure and pain behind my eyes. I have gone through 2 sinus surgeries, seen countless doctors, tried every medicine, and the only thing that helps me are benzos and anxiety medications. Some days are worse than others, and I can usually go symptom-free if I am doing something particularly joyful, or if I'm out in the woods camping (changing my environment).

I have been leaning towards the idea that these symptoms are psychosomatic for the past couple months, since no traditional treatments have helped me and I can mostly eliminate symptoms with anxiety meds. I have seen a bit of improvement with meditation and acupuncture, however I continue to experience symptoms on a daily basis.

I'm looking forward to trying the SEP and I'm hopeful that this can help all of us.

 

This sounds like TMS.

Like the Rick profile pick!

Good luck and keep us updated
