I agree with Jan.
Been there myself. Feeling weak, having little energy, shaky legs with uber-tight muscles in it that kept me from walking and exercising, spent most of my day lying on either a sofa or a bed, sleeping most of the day.
You see, it is a vicious cycle kept alive by.... FEAR!! You are basically spending your days in survivalmode.
Fear constricts your ability to recuperate after physical and mental exercise. Recuperation is something that is done in a mode of relaxation, not in a mode of survival. So, yes, TMS can keep you from gaining muscle, it is simply not on the menu when you are TMS'ing, because the primitive brain feels it is not important for survival in the short run. I call it exercise-intolerance. Even the slightest of exercise will result in days of misery.
The good news is, I managed to turn it around and I believe others can too. My advise is to keep trying, tell your brain to, excusez-le-mot, F@CK OFF and not interfere with what you are trying to do. In my case I slowly gained more confidence and lost more and more fear about my symptoms. Allow yourself also to be weak and tired, but don't let it stop you from trying again and again. Maybe certain emotions keep you from making progress, in that case work on it using the many tools Alan Gordon speaks about in his new program.
