    I call this "Yes, But..." Syndrome, or YBS. It is a deflection of what you need to hear, or else an invalidation of what is being offered. Perhaps both. In either case YBS is a sure sign that the TMS mechanism is in charge, preventing you from making progress.

    Question: do you identify as someone who is unwell, or as someone who can be well? The answer to this question will determine your future success or lack thereof.

    What about Ellen's suggestion?

    wow this is a great way of framing it. I do constantly think this is it and i won't get better. The fear of the first episode two years ago has shaken me and the fatigue/dizziness/visual disturbances that hit me with glandular fever has made me lose hope. I am restarting my TMS sessions this week. Neurologists, ENTs all have told me to 'to live and manage these symptoms'

    Hi Ellen,

    i am in month 3 and i have persistent imbalance in an upright position, dizziness, body aches as the day progresses, visua disturbances. This all started when i got EBV( (first time in my life). I have ruled out every specialist and the vestibular neurologist thinks i now have a vestibular migraine, therapist thinks i have PPPD. It doesn't make sense i would develop post viral fatigue, migraine, pppd in one go. I feel helpless. Even with pacing, i feel out of it and just lack of motivation.
