Journaling has become my daily relief valve, painkiller, lightning rod, oracle. Don’t have to make myself do it anymore; I just want to. Apr 3, 2025 at 9:46 AM

  • 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)

      I keep having these super vivid dreams of walking. I also had one of driving. I hope this is a good sign.

        Imo it has to be a good sign... Instead of having to deliberately visualise yourself doing stuff that you've been finding difficult or impossible, your brain has decided to prompt itself into doing it (rehearsing it) without your deliberate intention. The brain works things out while we're sleeping. This is more good news, along with your hands unfurling.

      Update: my hands are still good! I can’t believe it. I’m really happy. My other symptoms are totally acting up. Are we surprised?

        Great! Your brain has given up on your hands and it will eventually give up on heightening your other symptoms... to misuse a saying, that's how the 'cookie' (i.e. TMS) gradually crumbles and disappears in my experience. Also, I think it's a massive 'turning point' when a once seemingly intractable TMS symptom lessens and then goes. Keep on keeping the faith! xx

      Once I heard this saying: you’ll never be well until you get your outsides to match your insides. (Good Rx to fix TMS.)

      I’m in all out man-to-man combat with my TMS right now. Doing things despite pain. On day 4 of exercise. Feeling better.

      Feeling hopeful today, even though I’m still in it. Started a new exercise program and it makes me feel like less of a victim.

      The fact that many people have “cured” themselves by a study of my books is in itself evidence of the accuracy of the TMS diagnosis. Sarno
