Idiopathic Neuropathy

The video games can increase the hyperstimulation as well. Trust me, I love 'em, and they helped me get through the 4-5 year part where i really started to think the pain wasn't ever going to go away... but I've really had to start restricting myself on digital stimulaiton, because the tinnitus was/is really, really annoying. Over at anxietycentre they really emphasize how excessive stimulation can perpetuate or worsen the symptoms, I don't see that emphasized here but I can certainly tell a difference now that I'm caffeine free, the mind is more calm and it is easier to detect and correct anxious thoughts and/or manage patiently when the symptoms spike. By the way, I do still get little twinges of the old pain, but nothing like what it was (at one point it was like walking on hot coals, or having knives stabbed into my feet) and if I dismiss it, it immediately goes away.

my old tms symptoms still pop up from time to time so I don’t expect to never feel another stab again but as long as it slows down to the point where I forget about it most days. My other tms symptoms were also glaring up recently which is rare which is more evidence this new stuff is tms. I hope to stop this cycle tho. I don’t want any more new tms symptoms after this lol.

the occasional twinges I find usually accompanied with stress so it’s a good warning sign at least.

for me video games helped with tinnitus a lot. I like competitive, engaging games that are fully mentally consuming for that reason. It proved to me I can ignore tinnitus with enough distraction. But I do generally tank mentally if I grind a video game and I agree with hyper stimulation. Although I use video games to prove tms to myself I also know they contribute to tms in the long run with the emotions and sedentary lifestyle

Your posts scream of doubt which is a common cause for stuckness and snowballing of symptoms. Your best bet is to employ logic and science to counter the doubt, as well as trusting in this proven approach. Check out Dr. Dan Ratner channel "Crushing Doubt" and look into his doubt seminar or support groups. I think it would greatly benefit you!

I caught my TMS red handed tonight. I have been getting a tight tendon in my foot and phantom pain where my tooth implant is. My tooth randomly became really intense and I took a step and my foot was tightest it’s been in days. I started immediately laughing bc it was so obviously a burst of TMS presenting. My toes have tremors rn for the first time. I discovered a ton of new stuff about my TMS today in reflection including overlooked symptoms and how far back my TMS really goes and when it started.

my first tms symptom was generalized anxiety disorder after a bad drawn out breakup. Boom now I know. I decided I’m really really healthy today for the first time in 11 years and I’m done being taken down. I feel like I lost my entire 20s to having to prepare for a lifetime of suffering and lost a lot and gained a lot in the process.

Right now my body’s triggering all kinds of stuff. Gallbladder, toes, teeth, eyes. It feels like my TMS is trying harder bc I’m beating it
