| That's good probably, my Dad had a couple of TIA's. I'm no expert on them by any means, but I wonder if, sometimes, they may be mis-dx'ed for what used to be called feeling faint. After you are ambulanced to the ER, spend three days in the ICU, given a battery of tests and charged $25,000, I would think it's hard for the hospital to say you just had a fainting spell. My Dad had a couple of these with no physical visible effects accept to his confidence. Since they are over in a matter of minutes it's hard to find any evidence for them. The therapist who came in to determine my Dad's degree of disability couldn't find anything wrong that I could see and then said she thought his eye was a bit droopy, which I couldn't discern either. BTW whatever happened to smelling salts? I googled Quackwatch but couldn't find anything on TIA's except that overly aggressive neck manipulations by chiros can give you one. |

of course they noceboed me by saying it was probably a pre cursor to the "big one"- this will be his 2nd tia-he already had a big one oct. 2010-destroyed almost half his brain-only left him with speech and thought to word issues-still drives a car though -go figure---ironically my dad is also a very anger-repressed person since child hood-he had abusive drunks for parents-a good tms candidate

"Why" is a question that you probably cannot answer.
But clearly, you are still focused on your symptoms, unable to accept they are benign, Googling them, and fearing them. As long as this continues, TMS is winning. So why shouldn't the symptoms continue? They are doing exactly what they are intended to do.
You must at least "act as if" you believe, and stop obsessing about the symptoms. |

Jaya, Dave is 100% spot on! If you understand that your symptoms are TMS there is no point googlizing them. I made the mistake of doing this myself once and convinced myself of all sorts of rubbish, which I had to ignore.....this is the hard way to do it! I have had a a number of weird issues since then, and I just label them as TMS and they pass with time, I just ignore them best I can then then they go.
Focus on the emotional/mental work.....this is the source of your physical issues!
