I had back problems for years and recovered when I found it was due to TMS. Now, I am experiencing dizziness, tiredness and persistent ringing in my ears. I was diagnosed with viral nueritis and recovered a few months back. The symptoms returned, which is atypical. I am assuming this is due to TMS. I am wondering if others have had those symptoms due to TMS, and if it is typical to have TMS problems after a physical issue subsides (almost pigibacking)?

I had debilitating vertigo off and on for almost two years. Once I associated it with TMS, it lessened greatly. I think it's possible or even probable that it's your TMS! |

Am81- I found that one symptom replaces another. I went from sinus/ear issues to chronic neck/back pain to continuing pain with burning. I suppose its possible you never had viral neuritis. I have been diagnosed with multiple and contradictory things depending on which doctor I happen see.
MK- that is a great quote from Clarke's book- makes you realize how much the medical profession has devolved. |

thank you two for responding. I have done all the medical tests. Meniere's, tumors etc. have all been ruled out. I'm pretty sure it's TMS. I think I had viral nueritis that cleared up, and now my body is mimicing the symptoms. Is that typical? |

am81, these sure do sound like potential symptoms of mindbody syndrome. As a first step, given your history of viral neuritis, you may consider follow-up with your ENT to simply rule out any rare causes of your symptoms (such as labyrinithitis or Meniere's disease, etc.), but even then I am not even so sure that these aren't cop-out diagnoses that simply represent TMS equivalents in their own right. I guess that is something you must decide for on your own. Nevertheless, I see no harm in treating this as mindbody syndrome. You soon may find, like many others here who have had these symptoms (including myself), that they are highly responsive to TMS techniques. Good luck.
On a separate note, I just read Dr. Clarke's new book and there were definitely some interesting cases in it. I must say though that the book was worth it simply for its opening quote alone:
"It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease, than what sort of disease a person has." - Hippocrates
If any one quote summarizes the essence of TMS, in my opinion, this is it.
Best,
MK

I'm no stranger to dizzyness these past few mos. I'm at the point now where I don't freak out when it comes, and wait it out.
If you read my early posts, I suffered from some sort of "fatigue" state that I called the slumps. Cause I would just feel something come over me, and I had difficulty functioning, or even talking.
As far as the dizzies, to anyone watching me, I look normal, so screw it, I keep pushing thru it. But this was only after I asked here a short time ago who else gets dizzy? And was relieved that it's as common as any other symptom.
I had one particular block of 4 bad days in a row a month ago, to the point I meant to call the doc, it eventually faded. And that was a week after my prostatitis finally subsided.
As far as today is concerned, I'm not dizzy right now, but expect to be tonight when I go out w/ the wifey. I've journaled to the max where the tension is being generated there (3kids, wife, Mother who is taxing when she babysits, I hate the bill after dinner cause I don't need to go out, would rather pay down debt and am just pleasing the wife, and is my back gonna kill me tonight?)and just assume it's a TMS equivalent.
I must be getting better though, because I'm not fearing it coming tonight, even though I fully expect it. |
