Insomnia, nerve pain and bfs - how have you dealt with this?

Hi,

Not posted here for a while but it seems my TMS has come back with a vengeance so love to reach out to members who are dealing with similar symptoms. Muscle cramps/ twitches or benign fasciculation syndrome, combined with nerve pain and trouble staying asleep. Had this for more than 5 years but it actually had calmed down until this year. Not being able to sleep in combination with the muscle pains and cramps is seriously impacting my work and family life. I am continuing my gym routine and trying to pick up meditation again but would love your advice especially from members dealing with similar TMS symptoms.

Thanks!

 

Look for what has happened in your life that may of triggered the symptoms - there will be something - either work, family, relationships.... something has upset your equilibrium and your body is reacting to cover up the stress - find the trigger - deal with the situation and you WILL heal again...

 

Sigh, I'm sorry to hear this Erik. I feel like there's an epidemic of relapses amongst us "old hands" and certainly an alarming new epidemic of very serious symptoms in young people. I think it's a sign of the times.

Meditation and journaling are my go-to resources. I've also been listening to podcasts: recently Nicole Sachs and Eddie Lindenstein.

 

Dealing with similar symptoms a dr. Told me it was polyneuropathy but i think it is bfs. Bfs is most likely tms in another form. I find i do much better when my focus is away from the symptoms. I have pain, fasiculations and numbness in both feet. I have started running again and my symptoms seem to improve when running. So probably tms. Meditation is great as I am just starting to try it. Accept its tms and move on with life and youll do geat.
