    I hope I'm not annoying everyone with all these updates!

    Last few days I've had next to no leg/knee/foot pain (even the bad left foot pain that I thought was real). I just went running and it was all fine. However, I had intense abdominal pain yesterday which resembled horrific period cramps (which I've never ever had before, this is the first time). So I suppose the pain is moving around as I'm realising none of it is real. Everything is fine now. I'm just feeling sadder than usual, and journaling a bit/meditating to get through it. Dealing with the emotions my mind wasn't facing :D

    I think these updates are valuable, @7dani4! Having your journey in one thread makes it even more useful, and you're definitely making good use of the forum :cool:

    Pain in knees and foot doesn't bother me at all now, sometimes it spikes if I go running but it always subsides no matter how hard I run (if it were a real injury, wouldn't it just keep getting worse and worse?). My emotional state however has never been worse because I assume I'm having to face all my issues. Yesterday I was pretty bad and my left shoulder starting hurting a lot (never done anything to injure it). It went away of course.

    So yup, happy there's no real pain, but bummed I have to face it all mentally now :D

    Is this normal?? It's like something unlocked and I'm completely miserable, crying for weeks. No physical pain though :D

    It’s been almost 2 months since I posted - I’ve been doing any and all exercises including lots of jumping and aside from occasional pain (that i think is TMS), it’s all good. I suppose i can consider myself healed.

    I notice when I’m super stressed my stomach hurts or I get PMS type pain, or I feel dizzy and weak. I’m grateful it’s just TMS.

    Anyway my New Year’s resolution is to stop stressing. It’s caused me a lot of issues and it won’t get better as I age if it continues this way. Time to chill out and enjoy life.

    Happy New Year everyone!
