Hi, I am a TMSer with upper back, neck, forearm, and thumb pain symptoms for over a year and a half.
I have been in therapy since feb. As soon as I started therapy, i had symton imperative and new one, pain in the right ab (seemed like kidney pain). I had to be in ER and I was laughing there and telling my family, it hurts bad but its TMS. all results came negative as I had suspected and the pain went away the next day..LOL
I have been less and less fearful. I have been more and more happy. I have been living my life whether TMS pain or NOT. I don't focus on being able to do things based on whether I have pain or not. I JUST DO IT and make focus is on how is respond to it.
TMS is smart and Fxx###@@ ASS. I am angry right now because I changed my car 3 days back and by 3rd day I have stabbing lower back pain. The entire day yesterday I kept adjusting the lumbar of the new car, I thought the lumbar is causing this pain. By the third day I had so much pain that I could not either enjoy the car or walk. This is new symptom. I was scared, fearful, sad, angry. I know every bit of TMS process/theory. I could rationalize what was happening yet somewhere i could feel how fearful i was. I was fearful of seeing the car again, thinking about myself being in that car in that seat.
I had to work hard again today morning to not let this fear get to me.
I need encouragement from my friends here. I need support. I need you to stand up with me to this new symptom and help me keep those doors closed because this pain is not welcomed.
