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.- Should I cancel/postpone my back surgery?: Having a doctor of licensed physiotherapist that understands TMS look over your medical records, examine you, and take a medical history and THEN explain that what you are worried about is just TMS can make a HUGE difference in accepting the diagnosis.
- Any phrases, affirmations that help others recover?: When I had flare ups I just used to say stuff like this: "Right, there's nothing wrong with me physically, I KNOW that, so what's going on emotionally...work?...family?...finances?"...etc? Until I'd hit on something and suspect it might be that.
- Getting RSI/TMS from masturbating too often: Just like pain has a really powerful effect on us that allows our unconscious to use it to distract us, sex can be the same way. A great power to distract and therefore, a great way to escape something that we don't want to deal with.
- Sacral torsion cause: could it be structural?: I've been a little afraid of journaling because I'm scared that I'll get another physical symptom and that always worries me and feeds right back into my anxiety and the vicious loop continues. This time I'm trying to break that cycle and tell myself that it is TMS.
- Tension Myositis Syndrome and Parenthood: I think a great way to go about recovery is to view it as a job. Doing the work is not something that should be taken lightly. In some cases people do need to make adjustments to their life, so that they have time to focus on their needs and feelings.
