recovery

I've had so many revelations about myself, but I noticed I've been still searching deeper and deeper for answers. As of this moment in time, I have to be 100% honest with myself: I've always had the answers. I've ALWAYS known my issues stemmed from anxiety and fear (and oversensitized nerves)...

Hey everyone! I just wanted to post an update after almost a year since my original post. At that time, I had come back from a serious low point that kept me completely bedridden, but was still far from being able to return to work or school: I was plateaued in a cycle of fear and symptoms that...

I am completely recovered but i was wondering because i still journal once in a while, but when i do it feels like i am uncoordinated with my right hand or it almost feels like its my non dominant hand even tho it is. Has anybody else experienced this? Just wondering - thanks.

Hello, I have read plenty of forums on this website, but this is my first posting. I have decided to share my story as it has forever changed my life, and I feel as if most medical professionals I came across were puzzled by my symptoms. One year ago, a week after I applied for physical therapy...

I'm sure I am overthinking this but... For much of the last year or two I feel like I've been in fight or flight most of the time. I'm always analyzing, tracking, worrying about symtpoms, trying to get them to go away, etc. All the stuff you aren't supposed to do. Even when feeling better I'm...

Hi everyone! I wanted to share my success story of chronic pain in the fourm of “cfs and fibromyalgia”. I want to say before I say anything else. You got this. You are winning by even knowing about this work and it’s not easy and we all know that. But trust me, life is beautiful after pain. To...

Hi all! I am based in London UK, recently joined this brilliant forum and am so grateful for the wealth of valuable resources. I have had a terrible chronic headache for 4.5 years. Numerous misdiagnoses left me unable to work and depressingly out of touch with the world. I finally learned...

Hi, I've been away from this for a while....I go through stages of becoming disillusioned with TMS, not to mention angry with it (maybe that's for another topic) but strangely enough I can never completely reject it. Having said all that, I'm still suffering from pain - lower back, where it...

Hi, I started doing this emotional work by doing dr shubiners program of unlearn your pain. I was starting to feel much better but then out of no where, BOOM. I am back to square 1. Many people think chronic fatigue syndrome is just being tired. It’s so much more. Sore throat achy muscles. Feels...

For well over a year, I struggled with RSI pain in both my arms. I couldn't use my computer or my phone for longer than 2 hours a day without the pain getting worse. At one point, even simple things like stirring food or applying mascara made my arms burn. The pain was all I could think about...

For those of you who recovered from pain while typing/mousing, did you gradually increase the amount of typing you would do each day? Any tips?

Hi all, I'm a new forum member. I want to share my story and hopefully a journey to become pain-free. Firstly, I apologize for the very long post, but typing this is really cathartic to me. TL;DR: I'm a long-term RSI sufferer, but attributing my pain to TMS and shifting my thinking to help me...

Was listening to a podcast called Mind and Fitness by a TMS friendly host and he had a great guest on who talked a lot about doubt. In fact, his theory is that doubt is probably the biggest obstacle in TMS recovery. Not doubt in that it exists or not... but his patients doubt that their exact...

I am confused about these two programs: I AM CONFUSED ABOUT WHICH OF THESE PROGRAMS IS THE ONE I SHOULD BE READING BEFORE I START THE SEP 1 Introduction 2 Part I 2.1 Accepting the Diagnosis 2.2 Reframe the Meaning of the Pain 2.3 Working Toward Outcome Independence 3 Part II 3.1...

Where I watched the video of libby doing somatic tracking, and tried to do it on my own anxiety symptoms, unfortunately (?) this took me back to an incident on board ship. on the last voyage from NEW Zealand back to England, when I had a severe throat infection and had to swallow the most...

My fellow TMS-ers, I have successfully recovered from a chronic pain condition accompanied by a score of other syndromes and diagnoses, including Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), dystonia, Raynaud's - you name it. Add fibromyalgia-like symptoms that I didn't...

Today's lesson was to approach multiple options by thinking: “It’s going to be okay either way.” Because: “Both outcomes are fine though one might be better.” What resonated better with me was my own variation of: "What if this works out even better than I expect?" I made a list (because...

Hi! I have been mostly pain free for about four months (yay!) and then had a bit of a relapse the last two weeks. Which has sparked me to hop on here and ask this question - What is to be expected with recovering from psychosomatic pain/tms? I'm trying to reframe so that I don't view myself...

there full body programs that are done 3 days per week. one of the purpose is because of recovery. if fatigued is part of tms, then can we actually do full body more times per week since the fatigue could be tms?

Hello, I just want to share my success story. I put up a video where I detail my dramatic improvement: My predominant form of TMS is CFS/Fibromyalgia, but I also have/had about a million other symptoms. I created a youtube channel where I make short videos that tell my story. I hope it will...
