Hi Everyone,
I've been gone for 6 years now back with a new issue. 2-3 weeks of terrible nightly headaches, MRI clean, Dr visits pills, then I realized this pain is chronic and starting to change patterns on me, now it's all day vs at night.
TMS looks like a likely candidate. I'd love someone else to share a tension headache story to make me feel better.
The TMS in my head needs to be gone! |

For a Success Story look to the Good Doctor's. Migraines were his own personal TMS/psychosomatic symptom. A colleague pointed out to Dr. Sarno their psychosomatic origin, and the rest is history as they say, (who THEY are I'm not sure?). Thinking psychologically at their onset he was able to stop them in their tracks. This discovery triggered his development of TMS theory.
Look to the Rahe-Holmes list for the life changing experiences occurring in the past year. The headaches are a distraction repressing and protecting you from facing head-on. Although, since you're experiencing "head"-aches, that does seem like a conundrum  
G'luck,
tt/lsmft
P.S. Six years was a good stretch to be TMS free, it may be time for a TMS booster, there's a lot of new TMS books you might want to curl up with, not necessarily in the fetal position.
P.P.S. Who do you caddy for, Tiger?--if so maybe you caught the TMS bug from him. SteveO could use a bestcaddy, you could probably work-out a trade with him for TMS consults.

| Thanks Tom, so helpful! The pain jumped from one side to another which reminded me of my TMS work. Headaches woke me up last night but I am no longer stressing about them which alone has given me peace. We tend to think pain will last forever which is the worst stressor of all. I had a baby 6 months ago and she just started daycare, lots of stress in the last year. I am also reading the power of now which states emotions we can't become aware of can eventually lead to pain manifested in the body. This took me two crazy stressful weeks to figure out, glad I came to my senses, I'm ready to fight this fast and rid myself of it! Your words help so much. I did caddy for nick price, not tiger :( |
