| Does anybody else suffer from on and off chronic sore throats? I've been to my doctor multiple times and he never finds anything wrong, and finally told me I should stop coming in for these. I've been to an ENT and he can't find anything wrong as well. I'm wondering if this is a TMS symptom. I never used to get them until I had a throat infection a couple years ago. Then when it cleared up, the pain kept returning which makes me wonder if this is another TMS symptom. I also have anxiety which I believe makes the pain worse. |

Yes, it could be TMS.
It may also be due to acid reflux. If it's there when you wake in the morning then gets a little better later.

| Some of the TMS literature says that acid reflux can be due to TMS. |

| Acid reflux was ruled out by doctors as a cause of this. It's very frustrating and hard dealing with this as the pain is continuous and can go on for days. I sometimes wonder if it's anxiety causing all of this. |

Anxiety is a TMS AFFECTIVE/emotional equivalent. Since you say you've been checked out by docs and they did't find anything, you can pursue the TMS route.
G'luck!
