I had finally succeeded in getting rid of my neck pain (after months of agony) and had ONE good day yesterday. This morning I woke up with...a headache! I KNOW this is just TMS looking for another way to torment me yet the headache has grown to head-splitting levels. What should I do?
Your brain will do anything to keep your feelings under wraps,so any kind of diversion is possible.Just scold your brain and remember these pains are harmless.Try to be paintent and you will get control with time.Trying to change things after all these years takes time and patience. get well soon. paul.
Paul, you were right about scolding the brain. Last night I was invited to a black tie dinner and thought I might have to cancel because of the headache. But it made me mad to miss out on another fun party so I lied down on my bed and tried to "will" the headache away. Believe or not, it worked! It only came back after the party was over but that's just because I drank too much good wine! Today I actually feel fine. Let's see what the TMS monster comes up with next...
Sometimes, a headache is just a headache. Take some tylenol and close your eyes for awhile.
Paying attention to the symptoms is a sure way to have them continue and worsen. That's the goal of TMS, and you have to just learn to stop paying attention.
Symptoms moving, help!
