Day 8 My progress - A smooth journey with a few twist

The first few days have been really good on the moral. Two days ago I even though I was almost healed. Pain has significantly reduced. Only a few little episodes when muscles became too tight.

Funny thing, day 7 is a day of rest to let yourself enjoy life and not think about TMS. Contrary to what I was expecting, it became a very complicated day with lot’s of muscle spasm a increasing pain as the day went by. Waking up on day 8, I realized its probably because I started fearing the pain as the day went by yesterday. Or, maybe fear of not have the mental support for one day. It also feels like I could not let go of reading about the topic. Even had to read a few threads to calm me down at the end of the day.

This morning, I do not really have pain and I succeeded in relaxing my muscle that caused it. Not sure if that happens often to others but I am not surprised it happened to me. I can not even explain the mental process that was happening but I know it’s ok and it will keep improving.

Tonight, I am even going to try to play a sport I have not played in 3 months because of the pain it was causing. I want to challenge my brain not to freak out like it did in the past.

Cheers.

 

Thanks for the reply it really helps. It definitely feels like I am going through that phase right now. I have to admit the symptoms make/made me doubt even though I know its part of the process. But no worries I am still quite positive about the process. ;-)
