For any of you who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, you can relate to this. Lately, my dizziness problem hasn't been bad at all. Now my TMS has taken residence in my stomach once again. I know this is temporary, like it always is, and that very soon it will either jump back to the dizziness or it will be tension headaches.
Anyway, for the past week I've been suffering from violent stomach cramps first thing every morning, which have even managed to keep me awake during the night. This morning, just prior to getting out of bed, I realized something. My husband had been doing the morning school drop off for me for the past couple of weeks, ever since I suffered a spiral fracture of my middle toe and had difficulty driving. I am greatly improved and in two days will be released by my doctor as we are approaching the four week mark. However, my toe still hurts and it still manages to keep me awake at night. Also, driving puts pressure on my toe and I'm really trying to limit my driving. For the past week or so, I've had to drag myself out of bed to take our daughter to her school, which is about 10 to 15 minutes round trip. My husband had promised me awhile back that he would be doing this every morning since it was close to his office. Now, instead, he lays in bed, all cozy and warm, and I am forced to drag myself out of bed and take her. He gets up right after I leave and takes his time showering and getting ready and then goes off to work. I keep telling him that since he needs to get up anyway, why doesn't he just drive her. I realized as I lay in bed this morning that I am perturbed with him and that ever since this new routine started I have been feeling crummy. As I lay there thinking about this, the cramping and pain just dissipated completely. Gone!
Just thought I'd share with you another story of the power of our minds.

I can hear from your posting how angry you are at your husband. Whenever you have you stomach, dizziness or any other symptoms, think what is going on with your emotions, are you angry, fearful, or just somebody didn’t satisfy your “perfect” way of doing things. I am not being sarcastic. Remember, we, the TMS people, are perfectionist and achievers.
To help your TMS symptoms you don’t have to solve your emotional problems, you just need to acknowledge and accept that your emotions dictate your well being.
Your toe pain could become part of your TMS.
