    I keep a collection of favorite TMS quotes, and this one made me smile today.

    (Add any good quotes you like to this post, if you want.)


    “I used this forum 12 years ago when I was a young man of 65 to relieve severe, activity restricting back pain. I'm fine now at 77, doing yoga, riding my bike, lifting weights and generally being a good for nothing. However, many of my friends, some now moving into their 80's, are struggling with back, kneeand hip pain. Many would seem to be TMS prone personalities. Since old people talk with annoying consistency about their health I hear their stories. I never know what to say. Is this bodily pain just the way of all flesh as we age or is it TMS? Frankly I don't know how to even broach the subject without offending people.”—@tmcquigg@gmail.com

    It's not just old people, ALL people talk about their ailments. It's a currency of conversation. Next time you're a social gather - family bbq, etc - notice how quickly the conversation pivots to what people are currently dealing with health wise.

    Oh wow. I hadn’t noticed that. But I wouldn’t doubt it. What I liked about this quote is he’s 77 and riding his bike and having fun, pain free!
