This tms pain disorder will never leave you if you continue to feed it, if you continue to give your attention to it, and if you continue to wonder and search for answers and not commit to the only thing that will reverse it...your feelings and your unique inner thought patterns.
Only you can listen to and observe your inner chatter. Only you can "be present" when that chatter is going on inside of you and stop it or reverse it. This is the inner work that has to be done and only you can do it. This is where the best most efficient use of your time and energy can be spent---Identifying your unique mental repression activities (these are almost always focused on some type of: worry, resentment, striving, controlling, anger, self-esteem and self-consciousness.
Understand that once you accept this pain disorder/strategy theory...I mean really accept it. Then you can commit to yourself to do the inner work...As long as you still want to talk about this disorder, discuss it, analyze it, get other opinions about it, search for someone or thing to magically eliminate it, figure out for sure this is what you have, and make sure someone else had experienced the same, and verify "am I doing this right, what do you think"...then you are stuck in this pain disorder and it is not going to leave you...why would it? It has you focused on all this crap outside.
And all you need to do is let all of that go, just let it go and focus on you--Your thoughts, your feelings. When you can do that then you have already begun the reversal of this pain disorder.

Al,
Fair enough, although I'm more of a red wine type of guy! I think sometimes its hard to tell where people are coming from with the no personal touch, tone or facial expressions to go with the words that we would get with face to face conversation. Happy New Year buddy!

My post was a lame attempt at humour - as your post was exactly 1/2 good advice, 1/2 trite bs. I have read Monte's book, and have a couple of his cds, and have found them to be very helpful. Unconsciously, I probably have a need to be right and make others wrong. My apologies for any offense - I owe you a beer next time you're in Canada, eh? How about a Molsons? Happy New Year! |

Thanks for visiting. I was actually thinking about changing the text color. My monitor is pretty bright, so I can read it just fine, but if you're having problems with it that means other people might too. I'll definitely address this tomorrow when it's not 1:30 in the morning.

Wow Scott - I just took a look at your new website. What a fantastic project. Thank you! Only critique is that it is grey and very hard to read - can you make it blacker?
Congratulations on your creativity. And just the TMS list cured me of everything just by reading it.

Love is the answer, whatever the question |

You're right Monte. What I've learned very recently that's helped my knock my symptoms back to a good 90% of normal is to completely and totally accept the process that is taking place right now. I view all components of it as integral to the distraction mechanism itself. Fear, worry, any sort of preoccupation, any sort of "delusional physical" thinking, it's all the same and should be put aside. Having the courage to return to your life and ignore anything your brain tries to do to stop you indicates that you know nothing is wrong. And that's what the whole battle is about.
Being present with the chatter, like you said, is extremely important too. If you know that nothing is wrong, you have nothing to fear from thoughts that might hinder your recovery. You no longer have to fear worrying about it, and you know longer have to fear slipping up mentally. The power of direct awareness has a strange ability to free us up from mental cogs that we can't seem to get rid of.
What I realize now is that all those people who have speedy recoveries have some sort of predisposition to accepting the knowledge crucial to recovering from TMS. It seems like they instantly accept it as fact, and thus TMS can no longer exist inside of their heads. They instantly raise their level of consciousness above it. With people like me, however, it just took a bit more time.
