I've been thinking, and wondering why some get TMS and some don't. My personal experiance is that the pain increased after I stopped drinking and smoking.

Might there be a link between intoxications, thus 'blowing off some steam' as a unhealthy way of expressing unwanted feelings???

What do you think???

Thanks

Indeed, I was always puzzled as to why the guys in the office with terrible diets never seemed to get any stress related symptons!

Hi lebo,

You make an excellent point. The way I see it is that the drinking and smoking was a way to deal with stress and/or distract you (smoking) or numb you (drinking) to painful emotions or things in your life that might not be going well. When those habits were discontinued, the psyche needed another way to deal with those stresses. The pain can be caused by the increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system.

There are different theories about the reason for the pain, but it does make sense that focusing on the pain, which we are bound to do, would keep our attention away from any potential dissatisfaction with our lives, or painful emotions.

Best,
Peg
