  • My Story

    I have been fighting TMS all my life. In the past, my symptoms would go away over time if I ignored them. After I learned about Dr. Sarno in 2017, I had one book healing, and then my TMS returned with a vengeance. During the pandemic, I became extremely anxious as most people did. I hovered over the news incessantly, which didn’t help me at all. I also had about five or six personal and family issues going on that were extremely difficult for me and an abusive childhood. Thus, my symptoms exploded —and took over pretty much my whole body. I’m not diagnosed, but I have all the symptoms of complex regional pain syndrome. I’ve had so many strange sensations related to anxiety and adrenaline, I can’t even list them all here. But believe me, adrenaline can cause total havoc in your body.

    In the past year of being on this forum, I can’t even name all the things I have learned. Incredibly valuable and important things! I wouldn’t want go back to who I was before or the life I had before. And that is saying a lot because I’m still in pain and debilitated. However, I have full confidence that if I don’t give up, I will overcome this TMS.

    Here’s more of my story if you’re interested: https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/threads/my-story-i-know-it%E2%80%99s-tms.28068/ (Day 1 - My story- I know it’s TMS)

      Realized today I need to stop running from grief. Hiding from it doesn’t heal it.

      Emptied the dishwasher PLUS hand washed the pots and pans. This is huge progress for me. I’m doing more chores. Yay!

      During the pandemic I frantically searched online for the latest on staying safe. Now I frantically study TMS recovery. I’m too frantic.

      Got some work for the first time in months. Did it with my semi-functioning hands. Client loved it. Wow, I feel better!

      Facing off with abusers in my life, past and present, with newfound strength, is kicking up stress and symptoms. But for a good cause!

      Today is the first day since I started in March that I can actually feel my body letting go of TMS. It’s very subtle. But it’s there!!!

      Laughing at symptoms—literally ridiculing them is helping. Also saying over and over: I’m ok right now. I’m living now. Nothing is wrong.

      Noticing that self pity and self absorption causes symptoms to flare. Not the other way around.

      Today I “walked” 25 minutes around the living room and kitchen and it was fun and I was surprisingly strong doing it. :)

      Kind of in a rut. Slowing things down if I can. I’m so obsessive. Agh!
