I am curious how old you all were when you had your first episode... does it get more or less manageable?
I just had my first episode this past March - I am 28 |

| I was 34 when I had my first really debilitating attack. However, when I look back on my life I can now see that as far back as I can remember, I had various milder physical symptoms that had no apparent cause- tension headaches, back or neck stiffness, allergies that got worse under stress etc, etc... |

| For me I think it was in my late teens or early 20's and it was my back..Never had neck issues til 12 years ago and the back seems fine these days..At the onset of TMS in my life my parents had just gone through a terrible divorce... |

In the womb.
Sometimes more, sometimes less, depending what kind of day I am having. |

My first severe pain episode started 3+ years ago when I was not quite 22. But I have had knee pain with certain activities since the age of 13 ("growing pains", ha ha) which is now gone with the TMS, and was depressed for about a year prior to the major pain attack, so those were very probably TMS equivalents.

I think I was 7 years old. that was the year I had stitches in both legs, got psoriasis, got glasses for the first time that were too big for my face, and had the teacher from hell.

Probably my first symptoms in my mid-20's with back pain that lasted for years and only disappeared to rarely appear again once my insurance stopped paying for chiropractic. My current opinion of chiropractic is that it is pure placebo.
Various TMS equivalents depr/anx/panic/tinnitus over the years, but never too bad. Things really started accelerating about 10 years ago. The past 5 years have been almost continuous symptoms of one kind or another, usually just annoying rather than painful or scary things. The scary thing is the trend itself.

Back pain at 21. In hindsight, however, I had growing pains, abdominal cramps, and respiratory issues starting as a young child that were probably kiddie TMS...
If you do the work it can be beaten, though it may rear its ugly head from time to time, often with different physical symptoms, just to keep you guessing. Relapses are usually more easily handled. |

| Seems like equivalents in my mid 20s but no back pain ever until 37. Yes it gets more manageable with this forum and books. |

What age did you first experience TMS?
