Hi guys, thanks for this wonderful forum and for all the experiences you share. Many of you are very inspiring for me.
After 8 month of chronic back pain (widely due to TMS), i'm suffering, for about 2 month of hives.
This is very very annoying thing, it drives me crazy. I've had a visit from a dermatologist, but (abviously) she tells nothing to me: the blood works are ok, the cure are antistaminic pills for N months... 
That ugly red-points breaks out in the evening and in the night, sometimes in the early morning. They cover the under-arms, sometimes neck, very often the inguen.
After a few days of pure joy (my back bain subside) i fall again in a nightmare. Fortunately last night i recalled dr Sarno books, and i suspect that hives could be a TMS equivalent.
I'm too weak now for fighting again with this strange, scary thing. I would just like to have a common life, a "sane" relation with my body
Sorry for my sad words, i'm very tired of all those thing that are happening to me. |

We can relate.
The movement of symptoms can be the most frustrating thing imaginable.
Except that actually it is better than having one of those symptoms that some people have where they have a real, permanent illness for their whole lives.
Another way of looking at it, for me, is that the movement of symptoms is funny. And also a sign of our body's innate power, which as I said in another thread, we can perhaps harness for better special effects than moving symptoms.
Like, "Body, instead of giving me hives, could you give me stigmata on the hands and I could make some money."
Love is the answer, whatever the question |

Hi wavySoul,
i completely agree with your statement.
I'm forcing myself to see the positive face in fhe symptons movement, but hives is a very horrible thing, that scares me a lot and continously feed the fear.
I think it will be a very hard battle this time |

After learning about TMS and curing my tension headache and neck pain problems, I started noticing what other people were going through around me. My mom has had back pain for years so I talked to her about my successes and she was interested. I ordered Healing Back Pain via Amazon and sent it to her. I just called to see how it was going and she is really enjoying the book and learning a lot. What I didn't realize is that she has had hives from time to time for decades. She saw it mentioned as another TMS manifestation in Healing Back Pain. She is still only a week or so into the reading so I cannot tell you yet if she has been successful in treating it. But, I hope that she is. When/if she is successful, I will follow up to let you know.
I wish you the best. Although I haven't had hives, I did have 15 years of chronic tension headaches. Funny that I finally got relief by reading a book on back pain! But, it is because the source root of the problem is the same and therefore the same treatment worked. I expect that this will be the same for you with the hives. |

I had hives and rashes on and off for years when I had tms/anxiety. They come and go. They would appear in various parts of my body. sometime it itch, sometime it just look terrible. I always thought of it as one of the symptoms of anxiety/tms and I deal with it as such.
Don't fight it, don't feel bad for yourself, don't get angry, because that is exactly what keep it there. Just ignore it, accept it, and go on with your life. When your life stress is gone, the hives will be gone. Spend your prescious time working on how to have a stress free, content life instead of worrying about some hives. They will disappear in time. |

tmsjptc, balto, thanks indeed for your kind words.
Unlike the backpain, the skin rushes makes me very scary and confused about the right food choices...it's a daily and constant concern.
Do you suggest me to stop the medications? the pills enforce the idea that there's something wrong in my body, but without them it's very hard to bear those damned rushes....  |

Hi Balto,
how did you face the break out of hives?
You were able to ignore them? No meds?
it's an impossible deal for me, when i feel that they're coming, my mind start getting crazy |

I just decided that my hives and rash were tms/anxiety symptoms and dealt with them the way I did with other tms/anxiety symptoms. I stop paying attention at them. I stop fearing them. I stop giving them any value, they are just some temporary inconvience until I regain my peace.
Don't fear them Johnny. Fear, upset, mad, going crazy will trigger your brain to produce more symptoms. Your negative thought, negative feelings is the key to turn on the engine that produce tms/anxiety symptoms. Pay attention not at the symptoms, pay attention at those Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTS). Kill the Ants, throw away the key, all your symptoms will be gone in time. |
