thanks so much for this video! i’ve been diagnosed with this a few years ago and i felt so alone, i was bullied and a bunch of rumors spread around about me bc the students at my old school believed i was faking for attention even after my diagnosis. the pain was so severe i had to walk around with a cane! luckily it’s not so bad anymore, but now i get terrible headaches and have difficulty walking down the stairs still. I’m so glad there are other people out there with this too, it’s difficult to diagnose and risky, so i hope you all in the comments that were once misdiagnosed with this get compensation. after watching this, i don’t feel so alone anymore, thank u so much.

my mother was diagnosed with this because she had pain that no one could figure out, and she was labeled as "drug seeking" and was constantly in severe pain. One day she just didn't wake up. She was only 49. At her autopsy it was found she had a spinal malformation that was pressing on nerves and causing the pain she reported for 25 years. I think a lot of shit doctors use this dx to hoist their ineptitude as physicians on their patients.

This is scary for sure. I have been diagnosed with SSD and also with a few physical diseases and a malformation, most of these after receiving the SSD diagnosis. I do think doctors should be open to looking into rarer conditions before diagnosing us with SSD. This is not to scare vulnerable people who are already scared of their symptoms but to note that experiencing symptoms like pain, numbness and fatigue that aren’t immediately explainable by your standard medical testing doesn’t necessarily mean you’re just experiencing your emotions physically. I think we should accept that yes, somatisation is a very real thing, but also that there are conditions that cause symptoms that these patients often complain about and sometimes it takes more digging than a lot of doctors are willing to do to find out the exact cause for these symptoms.

And what happens if the physical symptoms are "unexplained" because the doctor hasn't bothered to examine them properly? Multiple sclerosis, for example, can cause incredibly varied symptoms that typically change over time, including pain. Cognitive stress can be caused by the doctor misdiagnosing them as psychological.

@@user-et5hc7tv9y You're a little off beam there. MS doesn't have "specific symptoms". MS symptoms can be many and varied, according to where the lesions have occurred, and may be rather vague and difficult to describe. Contrary to your belief, the disease doesn't always have clear lesions on MRI. The lesions might be too faint or too small, or not showing up yet, and even when they are showing up, might be subject to misinterpretaion. I discovered my own spinal cord lesions after they were missed by the radiologist, and then went through an inordinate struggle to get them confirmed. And even after they were confirmed, the neurologists still didn't relate them to my symptoms, which I'd had for thirty years. They also missed my brainstem lesions and told me they were "too faint to be lesions" when I pointed them out. These same lesions were ignored on five consecutive scans and I was actually banned from my local neurology department after I complained about it. They were subsequently confirmed on a sixth MRI at a different hospital, but I'm still undiagnosed, despite now having sufficient evidence to fulfil the McDonald criteria.

I’ve had this for 4 years now. Yes, I do think about death a lot. The pain justs get to much to cope with. I see a physiologist weekly. I have to be protected from things that might make me worry or stress about . My response to stress = pain and plenty of it. If I leave the house it increases my pain and normally takes 2 to 3 days to settle down.

@@itisharana5463 After writing down that comment I've improved immensely, as if I had more or less went back to "normal" (before the year and a half I mentioned in the comment) and I stopped researching things online full stop. I used to get mild to moderate pains when stressed before, but they got out of control as far as to incapacitate me in my daily life and make me dread waking up. But now I'm back to how I was before, now it only takes 1 day or 2 for the pain to stop as opposed to weeks or months at times and the pain is very mild. I started to intensively journal my symptoms, find out what triggered more painful episodes, what stressors where involved, how did my emotions play a role, what routine changes I could implement to help me, what things helped me feel even just a bit better and start doing those bit by bit, how to "solve" stressful situations. Every day I rated my pain level with an app that showed me a graph to check my progress. I did that for 4 months and it helped with the journaling. Eventually after a long time after that I had sketched out the very distinct and specific things that really really really bothered me or stressed me, and either try to change my mind about them now that I recognized them, avoid them, or transform them somehow. I went to therapy for a few months, relied on family much more than before since verbalizing and sharing what you're going through is crucial for improvement. It helped me calm down when I was going crazy, and not make the pain feel worse than it could be. Even if I was going through hell I tried to stay calm and train my brain to not despair or fear the pain (Some episodes would cause me panic attacks) and do the things I had to do. That helped me get it under control. And lastly, now that I had the mental side under my grasp and could tolerate it, I started exercising, stretching, getting massages, rolling myself against a rubber ball on the wall, doing assisted pull ups, posture correction, a myriad of tiny things. All of that made the episodes and intensity of my mid-back and torso pain disappear and I feel like became alive again. I'm really sorry if you or any of your loved ones is going through this. I myself thought I was done for and pondered what would become of me, but know that It can get better. I hope this helps, take care.

I have this phenomenon crop up sometimes, my symptoms are always severe fatigue, muscle weakness, muscle cramps and exhaustion. I recognize when it's happening and I am recently going through a bout of this, usually spurred on by a very stressful trigger. I recently did work for a customer and it went very south and I was wracked with overwhelming fear and worry, few days later and now I am feeling the effects physically, it usually passes after a few days or so but when it happens it's terrifying, I almost feel immobilized by the weakness, fearing its some sort of horrible illness or infection, thousands of thoughts go through my head and then it clicks, I realize I am having another psychosomatic episode, I struggle with anxiety and depression in general and this is just how it manifests sometimes when my mind can't take the stress anymore. I have had this chronically in the past before and even went to the hospital for it and that's when they determined it was pyschosomatic, its scary to think your own mind can make you think you are very ill

I've had somatization disorder now for 12 years being diagnosed only 6 years ago. After hundreds of doctors appointments and multiple tests like m.r.i.s, ct scans, ultrasounds over that 12 year span, nothing has been found from these symptoms that I go through. I've tried meds, cognitive behavior therapy, acupuncture and almost everything in the book these past 6 years yet I still suffer from this debilitating disease. I applied for social security disability and got it right away as have just been crippled by this disease. Scary thing is that you don't know what's real and what's not. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer last year even though I felt no symptoms for that one particular thing. It was found as I had an m.r.i. for swelling under my jaw. My shrink said to stay away from doctors while my doctor said if i'm dealing with real symptoms, i must follow up with a doctor. I feel real painful and destressing symptoms....what do I do? Any advice would be appreciated?

My GP tried to ''help'' me for years by sending me to psychiatrists for my physical complaints. 1 year ago I refused and wanted a brain mri. She told me that its most likely gonna show nothing, I told her that ''nothing'' would atleast give me a peace of mind. She told me that I would look for other possible causes of my symptoms (trying to give me a lesson in fear of disease). Eventually she referred me to a neurologist who let me get a brain MRI and the radiologist found a constriction around my brainstem which was likely the cause my symptoms. Somatic symptom disorder is a word to replace: ''I dont know''. Trust a doctor who is willing to say I dont know rather than ''somatic symptom disorder''. Doctors might act like they care about your problems, but often they make jokes about patients with ''somatic symptom disorder'' with each other. Somatic symptom disorder is an easy way to get rid of ''difficult'' patients.

I understand how you feel, but what you said is not always the case. You should never be labeled with the diagnosis of Somatic Symptom Disorder without ruling out organic causes, but it is real. My wife's psychiatrist told her she might have that, but is not giving her that diagnosis yet. She already underwent 3-4 MRIs (including hips and pelvis, brain, spine), one CT, gynecological US and MRI to check for a gynecological cause, and even laparoscopic surgery. My point is, your doctors should've checked and ruled out other, more common, organic causes before diagnosing you with Somatic Symptoms Disorder, but it is not just a replacement for "I don't know" (we do have a replacement word for that: idiopathic). It is a real diagnosis, but one that should be carefully given.

It loves to find subtle ways to brand us as unintelligent, delusional, and incapable of self-agency or understanding ourselves. By suggesting our suffering doesn't have an IRL cause and is a figment of our imagination. I'm currently dealing with a somatoform diagnosis that has been disproven so many times, but has remained on my record. It's there because people implicitly fear me for being autistic and living the autistic way, and don't really want to help me or see me thrive on /my own/ terms.

Do a search for DARE anxiety on KZfaq. The more you stress about it, the less it’s going to go away. This is not a problem that needs ANY of your attention. Your preoccupation with it is precisely what causes it. It will still come when you’re not thinking about it. Expect it, accept it, but only because you had been thinking about it earlier and it was rolling around in the back of your mind. Let go of the steering wheel, let your body take care of itself. You’re the problem, not the solution. Once an episode is over put it behind you, don’t fret or complain about it. Just see it as oh well, a temporary thing. I know it’s annoying for people to act like it’s simple. It’s not, but you do need to minimize this. If not when it’s happening in your perception of it when it’s not. Leave your life problems out of those. Deal with them, but separately. They are only an indirect cause. The real cause is your own perception and worry ABOUT THIS.

Somatic pain as a mis-diagnosis attracts awful quack doctors like a f***ing moth to a flame, it can be a very dangerous mis-diagnosis which can be easily reached by mistake and can do a lot of damage to a patient for years who is suffering from a standard painful injury which sometimes will be completely missed by X-ray & MRI. For example, a patient breaks his back and right leg, he develops a limp and shifts most of his weight on his left leg, couple of years pass and his left: ankle, knee & hip degrade, become painful and noisy, along comes Dr Quack, the patient is complaining of pain in these joints, Dr Quack notices that the patient broke his back and as the patient is complaining of a sore foot this idiot doctor declares that the pain in the foot is nerve pain relating to the prior spinal injury, the patient does not have a sore back and never complains of a sore back but is subjected to half a dozen back operations and as the pain in his leg is getting worse! because the injuries have been ignored, Dr idiot then declares the pain is somatic conversion disorder/chronic pain and as such then completely removes all the powerful painkillers the patient is using for leg pain leaving the patient with a pile of untreated injuries for years! No painkillers and no where to go for help! leaving the patient completely f**ked! for 20 years!

Since I had some sort of partial success and unfortunately a relapse, I am trying to tell my story in short, because it is long, and as one other commenter wrote, it is like stuck in a prison in hell with pain, basically this disorder is capable of "simulating" all serious symptoms of known physical illnesses. It is a sneaky thing. People may benefit from my story. It probably started 10 years ago (I was 18 at that time) after a serious viral infection in my guts, 3 months later, I had my first panic attack in my stomach, which resulted in trembling. (I was hospitalized, got better then at home it came back again) After 1.5 years I thought I managed to defeat that, as the symptoms were gone. How did I do that? Basically I realized it had something to do with acid (As I had GERD related symptoms as well which turned out to be psychological after endoscopia), and definitely I had some "control" over it. I also got to know what depression is like at this time. So basically when the panic attack came, I started to fight it mentally and relaxed myself, basically not thinking of that pain. I was kind of fine for 10 years. When I was 27, I started to feel weird things and new symptons, which probably resulted in the state (I had my first seizure - Started from the back of my brain) I am currently in right now: Later I have been diagnosed with this (Somatoform/conversion disorder/psychosomatic illness/depression/anxiety/panic disorder), after basically going through lots of checks. Blood tests, MRI (Brain + angio), EMG, ENG (Not the video one), reumatology, cardiology etc, dentist etc. Nobody found larger issues. I assume I belong to the severe category as I have developed like 6-7 kind of symptoms. The most severe ones are the aforementioned seizures (These are the pseudoseizures most likely) occuring at the back of my neck or brain (Not 100% sure kind of cerebrum). It is not epilepsy, but if the seizure is left to "come out", then I tremble heavily , basically it is like an inside electricity generator, lightning kind of pain, panic as well. I have also started to have heart attack like symptoms. Tingling, numbness, very weak muscles. And of course the stomach thing came back, but now this was different and like an "advanced form". At first I tried fighting it mentally, believe me I tried. Relaxation etc. However, it became so severe I couldn't defeat it this time (Also tried running, push ups etc) and due to the danger of losing my job - I started taking 0.25 mg xanax, convulex (Antiepileptic), Paroxat(SSRI, Antidepressant) -I felt xanax helped a lot out of these, however it was still a ride in hell. I tried making major lifestyle changes (It wasn't the best transition, and that is the biggest mistake one can do), and also tried / experiment things which trigger or ease the symptoms. (At this kind of severe pain, and especially seizures, you have nothing to lose). Basically keeping the medication, and walking regularly actually made let's say the most severe symptoms to disappear for 1.5 years. Being in the air reduced the seizure like feeling (Lack of oxygen is what we suspect) I felt kind of normal again I managed to cut down to 2 xanax (Morning and night, and also cut down the amount of other medicines), but I was an idiot not to think it can come back, now I know at least. in May 2021, it came back, and it was a sudden condition change. We believe it has correlation with lifestyle, weather changes (As the starts occured in spring/summer). Now what I am doing is eliminating all sorts of bad habits, I am exercising often, and try to work less (IT job). The relapse doesn't seem to be as hard as the 2019 one but it is still difficult, feels like 2 myselfs fighting each other sometimes. It is a familiar thing 2 years ago. We also believe it has something to do with being a workaholic (working hard on this one to defeat it), and we also believe the disease is episodic in my case, (Autumn and Winter will be better). What I would suggest anyone facing this or something similar - If medication is needed and helps, take it. Don't hesitate if you can't defeat it in other means. I couldn't find other means fast enough unfortunately. Luckily for me xanax is still controlling the seizure part. (I know it is not good taking these long term.). Experiment what makes these symptoms better and what triggers it. (If you fail no problem, you know more and have more experience about your own illness, the pain sucks, but you will know what to do, and what to avoid) Use process of elimination, to basically eliminate anything which is a physical issue. I had problems with my teeth, these are resolved (It doesn't seem to be related to it), I still have left-left-side scoliosis, which has to be ruled out and resolved. Do the same for the daily routine. The biggest mistake I think I have done, is that I didn't exercise when I got better. (Even if it comes back, I have more experience and basically slowly cutting down the causes till genetics that doesn't mean I will stop the physical activity from now on, the 2nd relapse made me commit to many things) This illness is sneaky, is definitely pyschological (Some sort of brain/vegetative system related issue for sure) but is also motivator. If I feel better I don't feel the need to exercise, but If I feel bad, then I do. It is crazy indeed. I am also dealing with insomnia, so sleeping problems so anything which goes along with this kind of disease. Ask your family / friends / girlfriend about any bad habits you may have. Believe me, they aren't noticed. Attempt for changes, doing nothing = worst. Addictions also are to be considered. I think when I start working again (I am currently on holiday), if I feel better, I know it has relation to it. Indeed I also thought about dying/suiciding in 2019, but fortunately since I know the "good period" is achievable (Suddenly I felt better, which looked to be a typical thing with conversion disorder), I am saying that now "I will give you" everything I have got and give it a fight and don't let it consume me (If needed, medications are there). At some point, I could fight off a seizure which occured at a time I don't take xanax. I know it is hard, for me every day and night may be a trip a visit in hell. There are many things I haven't tried yet: Yoga, Meditation etc. Another mistake I have done is to rush with the changes. These are potentially life-long considerations (They are for me). Make these changes slowly and not everything at once. I know I may be overthinking the illness, but so far that kind of approach helped me. Writing a diary is also a good idea. Since the first seizure in 2019, I have already given up lot of things, the illness kind of forced me to do that. Apologies for the long comment, if any questions, you can let me know in comment here. In short, Don't lose hope, and fight it.

AKA a doctor's way to cop out and shift the blame when they run out of ways to treat you. I am diagnosed with enough physical conditions to explain all of my physical complaints which makes a diagnosis of SSD completely illogical (just watch the first 18 seconds of the video)... but I was diagnosed with SSD anyway just because the medications they gave me were not effective... Instead of finding another way to treat what they already KNOW I have, they suddenly shift it to "oh, it must be in your head because this treatment works for everyone else.." BTW, this is not to say that SSD isn't a real issue that many people suffer with. I believe it is, but I also believe it is more often a misdiagnosis than an accurate representation of the root cause of the patients' physical issues.

I was diagnosed with Lyme disease, which bred other issues. I have been in severe pain for 4 years now, from nerve pain to physical pain. Lyme disease is extremely well known to breed many, MANY problems within the body. I was treated for it twice, and after only Lyme antibodies were found. But the Lyme reeked havoc on my body, which I think my body is still healing from. But doctors said my “Lyme” (yes they used finger quotes every time), was not the cause of anything going on. And my primary doctor thought this (somatic symptom disorder) is what I have. I have been to the ER for stomach bleeds, several cases of kidney stones, and others. Each time I was just drug seeking, according to the doctors. I was furious when I read up on what this was. I’ve almost ended my life several times because of this burning, life hindering pain. I feel like you can learn more about yourself and your diagnoses better than doctors can these days. Every doctor I have has had very old school thinking; and it’s almost cost me my life.

When a patient with FM has any type of surgery even a wisdom tooth pulled, bunion surgery, broken arm, leg, knee this actually magnifies the pain and the patient may never feel like they healed when a normal patient would. FM is likely one of the most mysterious illness known to science. All doctors guess at what's wrong with the patient and most doctors hurt their egos when they can't cure the patient so they write out prescription after prescription and when that doesn't work they send the patient onto see another doctor who does the same thing. FM patients spend their lives looking for the golden key to unlock their pain. Truth is there is no cure nor is the medical community looking for a cure or better understanding g of FM because quite simply there is no money.

Somatic pain as a mis-diagnosis attracts awful quack doctors like a f***ing moth to a flame, it can be a very dangerous mis-diagnosis which can be easily reached by mistake and can do a lot of damage to a patient for years who is suffering from a standard painful injury which sometimes will be completely missed by X-ray & MRI. For example, a patient breaks his back and right leg, he develops a limp and shifts most of his weight on his left leg, couple of years pass and his left: ankle, knee & hip degrade, become painful and noisy, along comes Dr Quack, the patient is complaining of pain in these joints, Dr Quack notices that the patient broke his back and as the patient is complaining of a sore foot this idiot doctor declares that the pain in the foot is nerve pain relating to the prior spinal injury, the patient does not have a sore back and never complains of a sore back but is subjected to half a dozen back operations and as the pain in his leg is getting worse! because the injuries have been ignored, Dr idiot then declares the pain is somatic conversion disorder/chronic pain and as such then completely removes all the powerful painkillers the patient is using for leg pain leaving the patient with a pile of untreated injuries for years! No painkillers and no where to go for help! leaving the patient completely f**ked! for 20 years!

Hi John. I am a medicine student and I want you to know more about the desease, Doctors don’t say “is this” because they gave up, they say it when everything is done, not looking for some specific desease but “discarding” others. Is common that the doctor knows from the beggining that the pain or the discomfort of the patient is because of these illness. I know these could be strange to accept because many of the desasees we can see specificities, but like others these is real.

Sounds like you need a new doctor. And a workplace injury lawyer. A doctor *not* paid by your job to claim the injury they caused you is somataform disorder. Your current job is trying to get out of paying for your treatment and paying you for the time you are out of work.

On 2019 I had Nausea and chest pressure that did not let me eat nothing. I would only eat When it went away. Mom took me to doctor and they diagnosed me with Gastritis or GERD. They gave me omeprazole and did not cure me. A week later when I got nauseous I would excessively yawn. It was until September when nausea and fatigue went away. I still got it but less. All these happened because of anxiety. I got treated with hypnosis therapy in 2022 and I don’t get those symptoms no more.

Is it not true that this diagnosis ONLY is possible if we believe that the medical field knows everything about everything and have nothing more to learn? Personally I have been sick for 16 years, treated with cbt but only getting worse, and just recently got a real diagnosis. Giving someone this diagnosis can make them stop looking for the real issue which can be dangerous. I've also had a specialist telling me that he doesn't know but that we might in the future. That must be ok for doctors to say. We must think it's ok and THEY need to be humble and see that they are not all-knowing. peace and love

Its called Fibromyalgia. Nothing really helps with the pain and no test prove you have it. People who actually gave FM line up with similar symptoms as the rest of the FM population. I've had FM for almost 40 years. There is no cure and the only thing that may help are opioid pain medication and antidepressant medication to increase serotonin levels in the brain.

Hi. I am 41. I'm reading my high school emotional evaluation papers n iep. It has 'somatic complaints ' as an issue over n over again. Like every person that evaluated me. I've never read these papers until today as they were hidden away in my parent's safe for the last 25 years. I still have them only now it's coupled with a really damaging disease called sarcoidosis. Several surgeries under my belt to remove granulomas from eyes, lungs, spine. I had no idea this thing was real. Somatic I mean. I thought I am broken. Well I'm am broken, but i feel alittle less crazy for feeling these symptoms all of my life. So how now do I tell the difference between somatic pain and disease pain since ive always had pain? Can I heal at this age?

That's the issue with this disease. You feel real symptoms but don't know if it's a true physical symptom or part of the somatization disorder. I've had it for years but was only diagnosed 3 years ago. I'm seeking therapy and take meds and nothing helps so I try different things to see if somehow, someway, I'll get better. Good luck to you.

When i was five i woke up one random morning and couldn’t walk. I spent weeks in the hospital getting all sorts of tests done every single day, to absolutely no conclusion. I then did physiotherapy for months and eventually could walk absolutely fine. The doctors along with my parents kind of assumed it must have been some sort of physical manifestation. Now since the last six years (i’m 19 now) i get physical illnesses usually to do with indigestion or respiratory ailments that occur right before i have something stressful happening or something nerve recking like a performance. I do music and theatre so i perform many times a year. Because of this i’ve never performed completely healthy and usually have a croaky/lost voice when i have to sing. I’ve always assumed it’s my immune system shutting down due to stress so i’m more susceptible to catching cold and such. Although now after really thinking about it and putting all the pieces together im starting to think it might be deeper than that. It happens multiple times a year so it just doesn’t feel like a coincidence anymore. Is it possible this could be psychosomatic disorder? Should i visit a doctor/therapist about this? Or is it just stress/anxiety or a coincidence?

Just want to disagree regarding treatment: CBT is only effective with a percentage (less than half, in my opinion) of patients/clients. To those it is not effective with, it can be extremely invalidating.

intensive DBT is really good for patients resitant to CBT. no treatment will ever be one size fits all. no treatment will ever help everyone. but engaging in DBT and incorperating the skills into regualr thinking patterns can help to reqaire the nueropathways to be more responsive to CBT treatment. esepcially considering DBT was developed origionally for bpd patients and later was found to be effective for many other conditions. with the cognative similarities including thinking paterns and pathology, comorbidity, the link between bpd and somatic symptom disorder does strongly support the use of dialectical behaviorial therapy alongside, preceeding or without the use of cognitave behavioral therapy.

I have this I am 21 and it started a year ago with gastrointestinal problems and now I am having neurological symptoms I have done mri EEG and lots of other tests none of them shows any abnormalities. I am so stressed out by these symptoms that I can't focus on anything else I keep thinking about my health all the time like what is happing with me. Suffering from more than one year is not a joke. I literally cried every morning evening and at any chance I got. I cannot enjoy eating,hanging out,playing, studying, anything at all. With this disease I don't know when all this will end like it stretches forever. I am so lost.

Please understand I'm going through the EXACT same thing right now. I would shake violently sometimes and couldn't eat for days, this is an absolute nightmare. I also get this severe panic and terror and weird pains in my body. I have this strange problem where I can't exercise now and I'm terrified of exercising because of this. every time I lift weights or try to run and I end up in the e.r. I don't understand it but I have had crying spells lately and just wanted to die. It's getting a little better but I still mostly hate life and am searching for some kind of relief. I can't take benzos because I'm a recovering addict. I feel like I'm unable to feel any kind of pleasure or happiness a lot of the time now and am stuck in this weird fog of feeling like garbage and just don't feel like a human being at all. I hope we can get better and get through this I pray now that I won't suffer any more 🙏. I will pray for you too. We will get better we have to believe and be positive energy.

So about 5 months ago, my mom fell from a flight of stairs. She ended up fracturing her hand and bruised her knee. She has gone to the doctor for her knee and the doctor has cleared her from any breaks/fractures etc.. so before and after that visit, she been strolling herself around in a wheel chair claiming that her knee really hurts and can’t put much weight on it even after her results! that doctor visit was about almost two months ago. she’s gotten a little better with her walk but she still uses her wheelchair! DOES SHE HAVE SSD?!?!?!

I'm always feeling suicidal because of emetophobia. I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and agorafobia (which is really debilitating for me). The anxiety and the nausea are constant, 24/7 and I have several digestive issues such as IBS, gastritis and GERD. My life is hell, I'm only 23 years old and I feel like I'll never be able to be happy. Everytime the nausea gets really bad, I panic so much to the point where my entire body gets paralyzed, I can't even move my hands, my fingers, my legs. And once I get through it (with a lot of different medication bc I never vomit) I spend weeks in a state of trauma and the only thing I can think about is how much I wish I never had to go through that again. It's getting unbearable and I really wish I could just go. Forever.
