Day 25 How am I doing so far

In the first couple of weeks I started feeling a bit better sometimes. I had a couple of hours when I wasn't having headache and had more energy.

The last few weeks have been terrible... So bad that I start thinking if I need to go see a Doctor to check out if there isn't anything wrong with my head. I have the worst headache you can imagine 24 hours a day, I'm out of breath and have a lot of tension in my jaws. It's driving me crazy and don't really know what to do at this point. I'm following the program, being nice to myself and try to feel the stressors I might be having during the day.

I keep telling myself it'll be okay, it's just the TMS, there's nothing wrong with my head. But it's the worst pain I've ever had, so it's difficult. I'm trying to be positive but I feel so trapped in my own body...

Going to read some success stories now to keep motivated

 

Hi Eileen. Check out this post on something called Extinction Bursts. https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/threads/good-info-on-extinction-bursts-and-plateaus.28974/ (Good info on extinction bursts and plateaus)

My advice: keep going and keep the faith. Don't let your primitive brain win.
