advice

Hello everyone! I’m new here but not new to the concept of TMS/MBS! I discovered TMS about three months ago and have been implementing the things I’ve learned since that point. However I am struggling with doubt still and thought I’d ask for your thoughts if that’s okay! I’m sorry for how...

I resumed full activity 8 weeks ago ie playing football for 60 mins per week. All my original usual symptoms remain the same, maybe a bit worse but now I have knee pain, lower leg pain, extra glute pain Would you give up running and sports? I’m 35. I don’t feel like it’s good advice this...

Hi all I’ve never had a close relationship with my Dad. We’re not necessarily “fell out” or anything, just never been friends as such. He’s never supported me with anything and is an old fashioned “get on with it” type of character. Never had any emotional connection. He’s only ever...

Hi, As the title suggests I'm new to the forum, although I did join early part of last year. I'm a classic TMS'er and have been plagued for over 30years now with various pains, symptoms, allergies etc. (I'm 38 now) I came across Dr Sarnos work end of 2020 and couldn't believe my recovery...

TL;DR: Urethra pressure and urgency for the past month, making me very anxious. Looking for advice on how I can better accept TMS and resolve the issue through emotional awareness, and specifically a feeling of ‘incomplete’ certainty that it’s not a ‘structural’ diagnosis. A specific fear of sex...

Hey guys hope everyone is well. looking for a bit advice. As some may know from other posts I’m quite a way down the road and feeling much better. tiny bit of background- throughout my TMS struggle I have always been able to engage in exercise, it has actually been my only time during the day...

So I've been dealing with new TMS symptoms and some small relapses too. I've come to recognize that Health Anxiety is a constant theme for me and I think it's driving some of my fear and my TMS symptoms. I wound up working with a therapist and taking an online course to deal with this. Here some...

Hello, I am 20 years old and I have been dealing with discomfort for the past 4 months. I am making this post to ask for any advice and to see if anyone has experienced similarities So to start my story. For some background have always had ocd as a kid. However it never bothered me much. Some...

Hello, looking on this forum & the practitioners on the list, it seems like it's unlikely I'll find a TMS therapist who takes insurance. So, I'm thinking of seeking out a non-TMS therapist. My BCBS covers me just in the 6 New England states. Unfortunately, I need to use insurance at the moment...

Hello. I’m new here. I had a bike accident 7 months ago that left me needing 9 ribs repaired with metal pins and a thoracic spine fusion. I still have discomfort and some pain from all of this. I don’t know if my pain was a still due to the basic repairs and metalwork or if it is more due to my...

Hey guys, Okay so I'm at a point in my journey whereby I am soothing my brain, and have seen a huge difference in the past couple of weeks. I'm not as panicked about everything as i was- it honestly felt like someone in my head was screaming 'Fire, FIRE!!!' And scrambling all over the place...

Hello All, I would really appreciate some advice/feedback for anyone that has the time. I will try to keep this as short as possible. For the past three to four years I have developed a very bad preoccupation with focusing on bodily symptoms. The starting point was forearm pain and a pinky...

I shouldn't be on here again. I committed to stopping visiting here and I requested that my account and all messages be deleted. Apparently that wasn't carried out. I don't believe in TMS anymore so I don't know what I'm expecting here. I'm just desperate in a very, very dark place. I don't...

So I've been reading here for awhile and would like some advice from people who have what sounds like what I have. Several years ago I had a fall and my neck was thrown back. Right after that my whole body just felt weird (the muscles in my legs felt stiff and my body just felt sore and weak)...

My question is for those who had experiences with knee surgeries. My partner is a former ultra-marathoner. He had a meniscus surgery about 15 years ago, then returned to running and ran multiple 55K races in the mountains in his 60-ies. He is definitely not a hypochondriac and knows well how...

Hi, I am relatively confident that I have TMS (though admittedly I have some lingering doubts/fears). In the books that I have read, they give advice to resume all normal activity, but the problem is, I have lasting pain after doing certain activities (like typing), and this creates a bit of...

Hi, All, I’ve posted a few times. Briefly, I learned about TMS in January. I’ve read the literature accept the diagnosis, and have been doing my best to apply TMS recovery strategies to my own life. If you’ve read any books about TMS, you already know a lot about who I am. To date, I have had...

I have been diagnosed with tendonitis of the forearm. My two main symptoms are general weakness of the forearm, and pain in the forearm. I believe TMS is the cause of the pain, but the weakness is clearly a physical matter. I have visible disuse atrophy at the tendon cluster just below the...
