Hi Everyone,
I haven't posted in awhile but I wanted to share an experience that screams classic TMS. I've been working on this for about a year and making great progress with the help of reading, journaling and a wonderful TMS therapist. I do still get symptoms (mainly headaches) but it's less frequent and less severe. I'm also down from a variety of several different symptoms to a mere few. This past w/e I was asked by a friend about an old injury-tibia (lower leg) fracture from 1994. She wondered if I had any residual effects. I responded that I didn't and the conversation went in other directions. I never gave it another thought. On Monday of this week, I developed sharp pain at my fracture site - a pain I haven't felt in literally a decade! It was almost as if my subconscious was groping for a new symptom to give me and found one. I've been just ignoring it. It almost kept me from doing my power walks this week. I just talked my way through it and kept reminding myself that its just TMS, aka, the "clever genius".

Larkascending,
My therapist was recommended by Dr. Sarno but he's in northern NJ - a bit of a long trip for you. There are some posts on doctors and therapists in CA. Do a search on this forum and you'll find them.

Thanks for the terrific post. My brain appears to work in exactly the same way - always on the search for "credible" sites for the purpose of generating chronic pain. But often this primitive level brain search comes up with a ridiculous selection (like your brain's recent selection) - sounds good on the surface level (at least it would sound plausible to a child ) - but one's rational mind can so easily see through the charade that it becomes laughable. That's when I just laugh out loud at the absurdity of the situation. |
