I've been in a bit of a TMS flare up for the last 3 or 4 days (after at least 8 months of being symptom free) and I'm continuing to remind myself that I need to keep doing things as normal and not let it keep me from exercising. I just got back from walking around my block 3 times (maybe about a mile and a half) and any time I felt my back pain, I would think to myself or mumble under my breath: - It's just my repressed anger. - It's my TMS - It's psychological, not physical - I'm not in danger of hurting myself And I'd just keep on with the walk. I almost talked myself going out for the walk in the first place (because of my back) but I'm glad I didn't let that stop me. I know it can be scary and it might even hurt sometimes, but YOU CAN DO IT! Just keep reminding yourself that it's your TMS and repressed anger and let yourself walk, walk, walk. It doesn't matter how much you walk, but do something that allows you to feel "normal" again each and every day. Anyone else have a story to share about doing normal physical activity today and not letting the pain scare you? [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
