It's me, Dr. Ben this time. I'm struggling with some TMS symptoms.
Dr. Susanna shared her journey and insight with it nearly a year ago back in Episode #267. And for those totally new to the concept or idea of TMS, my conversation during Episode #76 with Michael Galinsky, the filmmaker of All The Rage: Saved by Sarno, is a great place to start. Or you can watch that awesome documentary film!
So, my right knee flared up on a short run. It's so easy (and tempting!) to just blame it on the run - a tendonitis strain or something. While that may have happened, it doesn't in and of itself explain the nagging and persistent pain.
The fact of the matter is that TMS - tension myositis syndrome - is at the root of virtually ALL chronic conditions... seriously!
So, how do we deal with it? Well it's a very personal process, but I'll share my perspective here in this episode.
PS - I also share a bit in my new Substack you can find at benjaminalter.substack.com
- I wrote an article called TMS - Tension Myositis Syndrome (or Too Much Suppression)
