TMS Discussion ThreadsThe following is a list of links to some of the better discussions from our old forum. However, we encourage you tovisit our new foruminstead.- Importance of not trying too hard: "For me acceptance is about accepting TMS, not accepting the pain. I'm acknowledging that TMS is here for a reason, it's here to tell me that my life is not in balance and I need to find out how and why it's not, and do something, or lots of things to change it."
- Foot pain and TMS: "The fact that your pain has not responded to the mind body treatment may be because you still think it could be structural. Believing that our symptoms are caused by our emotions is key to recovery. You are not however asked to believe without evidence."
- Throat pain and hoarseness: "My symptoms worsen the more I sing. They also act up when I read out loud to my kids during their bedtime, which strikes me as tms since reading out loud is only talking, which I've been doing for a good deal of the day."
- Are there benefits to agreeing on a common physiology?: "I think that good science is careful science. It doesn't pretend to know things that it doesn't know. For example, I love reading Dr. Clarke's posts. His definition of what is now called TMS is so incredibly *humble* from a scientific perspective."
- Past tailbone injury, or Sarno’s TMS?: "Jayne, 'stirring up your anxiety' is exactly the reason why you should not be hesitant to journal. I understand the fear, though, but in fact it is what will help you get relief. Writing things out, in spite of discomfort, emotional outbursts or fear help me."
