Never thought of it like that. Thank you so much. Frustration in my case I just realized.

Wow, that’s the quickest I’ve ever been able to figure it out. In fact think what I came up with was the root of my whole illness ❤

Wow I have never thought of it like that, but guilt,anger, fear, sadness, ❤️

@@Chelsea-mz4dn that's awesome. I actually learned that technique listening to Abraham-Hicks. Look for some of their videos on illness. very insightful

Wow. I realised that I don't feel anything towards my symptom. That is the problem, I'm not allowing myself to feel this emotion. Thank you for your insight.

Hi- read his book again. You got this !! I saw Dr. Sarai’s colleague and of course with these kinds of emotions I would imaging the brain is trying to trick you again. Please be proactive and read Dr. Sarno’s book again. You can yell at your brain. I believe in you!! ❤️

Vim Hauff’s breathing exercise only takes 11 minutes!!

Thanks Dan you too! Keep up the vids so many people tell me they are super helpful!!

Which one did you read?

I am reading it too. Are you finding it helpful?

@@kikita278 I found it educational and started me on a new journey to address the TMS as described by Dr Sarno. I found a therapist educated in TMS and having one session per month with homework and using the Curable app too. Still only on week 2 so very early days! Feeling optimistic though 😊

Me too had spinal cord injury. So isn't we from real pain from spinal cord injury?

I am also wondering about this. I guess we should not be afraid to go outside and walk a little bit every day if we’re not completely floored. We shouldn’t push ourselves on long walks, but a short walk should be in the cards.

I would recommend the book Reverse Therapy by Dr John Eaton for an alternate view on PEM that made a huge shift for me, to enable progress and healing

@@breatheslow356 Thanks - I will have look at it. There are many Retraining Programs, I had tried Gupta long ago and informed myself about others, but one needs energy, also mentally to do the work and stay positive. At a certain point a always lost my motivation, even though I know how important it is. I suppose many of us needs trauma therapy first to not to get stuck in old conditionings/programmings which are mainly in the subconsious. Did you heal with the programe?

Yes you got it!!! This is it

Thanks for sharing. Yes it’s the emotions that category you want to learn to spend more time on it’s one of the missing pieces people seem to avoid- hence the repression suppression many of us do :)

Exactly my experience! It is hard to shake the fear that working through the pain is going to worsen the imagined injury.

Yeah unless the funings are really severe lmost the things are gray hairs of spine if you had an injury then that should also heal!

Any benifit

Hi Katherine I know it can be tough but gradual consistent exposure is the answer that’s what the research shows. The key is mentally reinterpreting the symptoms as benign and not dangerous. This is changing your brain on two levels- mental communication to the limbic brain and physical communication from the body to the brain when you gradually but steadily keep doing a little more each week. It’s not easy but cfs influences the same parts of the brain as chronic pain- that limbic brain. It’s become over sensitized and over reacts to very normal things. You have to reteach it whats normal again. Also deal with emotions. Not sure of your history feel free to reach out for initial consultation if you want to dive in deeper to put the pieces together. Take care!

Yes this could easily be a ‘normal abnormality’ many people have one bigger foot a longer arm etc. the history is the most important as to how the symptoms started. Many many people had discrepancies side to side with no issues

SIRPA is in the UK they are great. I am a SIRPA certified practitioner myself. They have an online program you could look at for more info. Lots of other resources with TMS books out there best of luck you can get better!

Yes very commonly TMS once the structural problems are ruled out

Yes your pain is not chronic. If you hurt yourself with an injury give it some time and gradually return to activities. Not all pain is TMS and chronic. Makes sense what you are doing

In Dr Sarno book he says that most people have bad discs this is normal. It don’t bother them why does it u

There is some research coming out the show that there is a autonomic nervous system component and brain and stress component to EDS. Specifically that anxiety is very highly linked with EDS.

@@thepainpt Thank you. Look forward to hearing what's around the corner. Been practicing mind body healing for years; it's definitely been supportive as has addressing stressors. Thank you for your work, care and connection.

Genes can change....Bruce Lipton talks about this

Pretty sure you are a charlatan. Telling people with chronic pain to exercise themselves like they don’t have pain. But they DO have pain and forcing yourself to experience even higher volumes of pain and then be told that if you don’t do it “oh well” which is what it sounds like Dr Sarno is saying. This is what all you people who take advantage of people with health issues do. You blame the patient. Living with high levels of pain is HELL. You have NO idea.

@@simonebye6771 you must not have looked at all the DNRS testimonies. There are 1000’s of people that are out of chronic pain, I’d really look into the science of it. Thought by thought healing is a good one

www.thepainpt.com

Yes that is indicating that you most likely have TMS!

Yes good point stress can place stress on any area of the body. So if underlying emotional stress is the cause then we need to get the system to relax which is not worrying, catastrophizing, exercising and working with emotions. The ‘harmless’ Sarno mentions means no deep structural cause and it’s reversible.

It really depends and is individual to each person. Generally speaking if you have mild to moderate arthritis many people have that severe arthritic changes are related to some pain

Need to go through your history to put the pieces together- things like how long been since injury, what did you do, psychosocial factors like anxiety, catastrophizing, hypervigilance, stress, how you deal with emotions, and past history including adverse childhood events (aces). Reach out if you want to do a consultation take care

More than I can answer here. Acknowledge and express and manage consciously is the simple answer

yes it does! Dr. Howard Schubiner speaks to this

Thanks for checking in. Yes there are lots of brain MRI studies showing that the circuits in the brain move to emotional circuits in chronic pain. In fact Dr. Apkarian at Northwestern has done a bunch of brain studies which predict with 85% accuracy who develops chronic pain based on connections in the brain. I’ll try to link a couple here it’s also newer one that could predict chronic low back pain from healthy controls at 91% accuracy based on the functional connectivity of some centers in the brain. When you combine that information with with Dr. Sarno was saying years ago a lot of chronic pain is due to the central nervous system and subsequent autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Obviously not all chronic pain some severe joint changes can absolutely cause pain for example. Just need to get a good history of the patient looking at their whole life not just the physical side of things to put the picture together.

I could not agree more…..I was a Registered Nurse and now sufferer of conditions which do not respond to this type of therapy..

The Book is called "Healing Back Pain" by Dr Sarno. I was amazed at how my back pain went away after I read the book. Actually before I even finished the book!

Yes dr Sarno had migraines and realized it was Tms !!!

Got to my website and fill out a consultation request. I charge 150 US for the consultation. Take care!

​@healingchronicpain-thepain3727 what if we can talk to you over the computer?

Reach out at the pain Pt if you want to consult individually

I don’t know your story Jeremy but just the little bit you shared it’s possible the children are triggering emotions in you that are not being expressed and this is creating pain. Seems to make sense especially if you’re very active and can do things on a physical level. I’ve seen it many times before with other patients where the stresses of raising children trigger symptoms. Be happy to go deeper into your history if you want to set up a consultation. Take care!

Yup he s right

Healing Chronic Pain- The Pain PT Thanks... my youngest is six, so just another twelve years to go before college. 😉🙏😂

There could be physical reasons if you have exhausted yourself or have some type of lung issue but anxiety can cause a lot of air hunger

I’m struggling with this too. All my tests are clear

@@nahidtahira9900 I do a lot of box and diaphragmatic breathing. I also bought an incentive spirometer.

@@thepainpt I’m doing the somatic tracking, meditations and journaling. Most of my otter symptoms have subsided but the chest pressure and shortness of breath just isn’t shifting. Any additional advice will be much appreciated

Mine was magnesium deficiency. I rub magnesium oil on my legs

You can acknowledge those feelings but you don’t need to become those feelings. If you’re aware of them you’re separated from them. acknowledge them but also have the intention of letting them go

Tension Myositis Syndrome as coined by Dr. Sarno

@@thepainpt thank you

Dr Sarno wrote a book called, "Healing Back Pain". It's his name he created for the syndrome. "TMS is a condition in which unconscious emotional issues (primarily rage, though other practitioners include other subconscious emotional issues such as anxiety, past trauma, and fear) initiate a process that causes physical pain and other symptoms."

@@andreaama9254 Even if there were no solid proof it would make a lot of sense. We do feel different when experiencing pain and if we are feeling different at certain times we can generate certain physical conditions.
