Something I find with my tms symptoms are they are embarrassing problems which I cannot talk to anyone about. I'm finding this embarrassing to type out to be honest. One of my tms symptoms is numbness of my 'saddle' region so that includes my genital area. It has been like this for 5 years now, I have no physical reason for it as I have been checked by MRI scans, lumbar puncture and a nerve conduction study. Nevertheless this is a constant symptom with slight variations in severity but it has never fully let up in 5 years. About a year ago to my horror I found I have genital warts on my anus, I have been trying to treat them at home using apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, I ever tried garlic and aspirin a few times. I've basically put myself through a lot of pain trying to get rid of these but nothing worked. Anyway now I also have numbness in my rectum and anus and I also have a deep ache. It's been bad that I can't really feel going to the toilet. This got a lot worse when I went to the sexual health clinic yesterday because I was worried I'd permanently damaged myself, I was hoping she'd say no this wouldn't cause numbness but she didn't and almost told me off for doing something so stupid to myself. I've been in agony since and the numbness is even worse. I feel so guilty that I've harmed myself in this way. But the numbness is like what happened to my saddle region five years ago, so it's like my body reacts by shutting down areas so I don't feel. I have long suspected there is sexual abuse in my childhood but I don't know any facts, this has always made me wonder if this is why my body shuts down in this area. Anyway I'm really worried that this won't go away and it's a distressing symptom for me on top of the others. I looked on the pudendal nerve entrapment forum, my symptoms are more similar to a few people in that group but reading their stories I can see that they all most probably have tms. I will go to my GP to get their opinion but I don't see how using home remedies to burn off warts could have caused a numbness that goes deep into my rectum. I am feeling frustrated because I'm so tired of the weird embarrassing symptoms. Be yourself, everyone else is taken [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
