Your Stories Episode 5 - Erika Hoffman - A Physician's Assistant TMS recovery story 

Welcome to the fifth episode of Your Stories, a series of interviews with members of the chronic pain/TMS community where they share their stories of recovery from their symptoms, no matter what stage they may be at.
In this episode I talk to Erika who shares a remarkable story of discovering TMS and recovering from a myriad of long standing TMS symptoms, including lower back pain, leg and foot pain, daily headaches, anxiety and palpitations. Erika explains how after only 2-3 days of being introduced to the work of Nicole Sachs and listening to Nicole's first podcast in her car, she felt a drastic and immediate improvement in her pain and anxiety by 80-90% - wow! Erika has found journaling and using 'Journal Speak' to be key to her recovery.
Erika also talks about her own career as a Physician Assistant and how at times she has felt conflict between what she practices every day with her patients, and what she now knows about TMS and how stress and repressed emotions can cause real chronic pain and symptoms. I felt really inspired hearing how Erika is working hard to incorporate her knowledge and experience of TMS into how she works with patients!
