Day 1

Hello! I have been suffering from migraines and upper back pain for the past 8 years. I also have on and off pelvic/bladder pain and was diagnosed with IC.

I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars trying to find a cure for my migraines and neck/back pain. I am confident to say that if there is a device out there that helps neck pain then I most likely have bought it. I am (or was...) convinced that there is something wrong with my neck/upper back that is causing these horribe horrible horrible migraines. I stumbled upon John Sarno online and read one of his books. It sort of clicked that this could be me. Deep down I always thought it was a possibility since the doctors could never find anything major wrong. I have had a brain MRI and so many ultrasounds on my bladder and some procedures done on my bladder. Nothing major seems wrong except for being diagnosed for having a smaller than average bladder and being told it is 'tense'. After reading the book my symptoms got way way worse and I am now in a major IC flare.

I have noticed my migraine/neck/back symptoms change sides and also come and go if I am busy...so I am thinking TMS could definitely be it!

I seem to fixate on how to fix my migraines and bladder pain...I can see how this is a fear cycle. Of course it is hard to 100% believe this on day 1 that it is TMS since the bladder flare up is so bad right now BUT this is a good start and why not give this a try since I have literally tried everything else

I am excited to start this journey!

 

Thank you for such a nice warm welcome! The pain has definitely been worse as I apply what I am learning. Thank you for the kind words, I will keep all of that in mind as I begin this new journey!
