    Interesting TMS stuff... Often when I use the mouse in my right hand, my hand starts to hurt. Generally, I can use the mouse in my left hand, as much as I want. However, when my right hand has a flare up, my left hand also tends to get one, which doesn't make much sense.

    Back pain has stayed away luckily.

    Sorry, I use the forum and the program sparingly. Often when I don't feel pain or at least not stressed over it or just too busy, I don't visit the forum or do the program. My right index finger has been hurting a lot recently from writing with a pencil of all things. So I'm back.

    LOL, @rsiman - I know you know better than this. The thing is, it's strange but true that it is actually more powerful and effective to reframe this message "out loud" - using the words, even if you know (or assume) that you (or anyone reading this) knows the truth about what you're experiencing.

    A reframing might read, for example:
    "My right index finger has been hurting a lot recently, supposedly from writing with a pencil, which is ridiculous and just goes to show how irrational, if not downright silly, our poor old primitive TMS brains can be!"
