What Do You Do If Your Symptoms Have Never Left?

[@chrisnewton2325]

I'm so glad I commented, thankyou for the work you do. Although my symptoms haven't left and have been for such a long time you give me hope I will feel no pain and symptoms one day

[@marieleak8731]

Symptoms and pain have never left, however, my MINDSET has changed!!! I do what needs to be done and what I want to do no matter what the brain does. Oh well, I'm good works for me. The success stories prove it can be done. Your daily videos and fast start also give me hope. Thanks Dan, the Mindset man as Annie calls you. 💕🥰💕

[@PainFreeYou]

You can do this.

All the sudden a few minutes ago a thought popped up in my head. And it said, we all need to stop lying to ourselves, we need to face the truth in us and all around of us. That´s it. Well, I need to contemplate about that.......... It felt like a big message...... However, have a wonderful day everybody! 🌞🌷❤

[@Rike-gr1jg]

... and: Truth always feels good, lie always feels bad.....

[@gregschmelzle8227]

Thank you so much, Dan! For explaining that being calm is not enough, we need to convince the brain that we are safe!

[@PainFreeYou]

Calm is a great place to be since that means we aren't freaking out anymore. But keep moving towards and into safety.

[@dreamsatnight]

I sometimes catch myself willingly lingering on certain pain or symptoms. It is paradoxical, I wanna get rid of it but I often find how I just take that one symptom that "never went away" as a companion in my day to day life. Sounds odd? Maybe but I feel that it especially serves me in the worst way possible when I unconsciously avoid some emotions because I'm either too scared or too lazy to take a moment and listen to myself. That's when a symptom like that comes in "handy" to distract me from those things - you kinda become neutral to it because literally it helps you to not actually confront certain things. The key is then to let go of your companion, that one persisting symptom: folks, we don't need it. We need to cut ourselves some slack, face whatever bothers us, give up on that cumbersome companion and carry on without it.

I love your videos Dan, they really help me. I am a yoga teacher who accidentally over stretched my leg tendons and the injury has not healed for more than a year (despite reducing teaching hours). Doctor, osteopath, physio no help. Talking to my brain helps the most. Thank you!

Wow!! Excellent video Dan..🙌🏼😄 exactly where I am at.. I’m definitely on the process train😅 I fall under category 2-at 10:25 it’s exactly what is happening…🤔 I have faith that I am totally on the right path. Mindset has been excellent, and doing things physically that I had limited in the past, talking to my brain, reassurance, reminders of past wins and how certain sensations left completely previously. Thank you Dan, you are truly an amazing coach..and provide excellent guidance, tips, video topics. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@PainFreeYou]

It's my pleasure Marly. I believe in you. You've got this.

[@josiejo117]

I can concur regarding bone break pain vs pdp pain...it's a whole other level...and personally I would choose the clavicle & scapular break over pdp pain any day of the week. With that said I am having success with implementing consistently everything you kindly teach Dan...so for any one who's wondering if it works...it does...with patience, application, repetition & love. Never give up...I nearly did but thank the Universe, Dan & all the wonderful people in this community, I didn't!! Love to you all.Xxx😍

[@PainFreeYou]

Thank you for sharing your experience with the bone break. I'm thrilled to be part of your journey! Keep keep going!! I believe in you.

[@spunkygoldfish]

I really needed this today. I've been getting a bit better compared to how I was a couple weeks ago, but some days are still hard. Yesterday I came to the conclusion that there really is still a huge part of me that wants these symptoms to go away, and even though I try to be calm and indifferent when they appear, that part of me still feels inauthentic. But! I can feel a shift happening, even if it's small. Last night I woke up at 2am in a total panic for no reason, and I felt extremely dizzy, felt a lot of internal tremors from anxiety, and had a racing heart. But I was able to have the awareness to stop myself and think, "this is just PDP and I am safe. It's okay that I feel this right now. I've felt this way before and it was fine." Normally I'd need to take some kind of medication to calm myself down enough to fall asleep, but I was able to work through it and I eventually fell back asleep again! I still have doubts sometimes too. And I still have secret fears that there truly is something really wrong with me that slipped through all of the tests my doctor did. Or I worry that if I somehow got through all of this and acknowledged it was PDP and my symptoms magically disappeared, then I wouldn't be able to tell if something was really wrong with me if something came up in the future (even though I wouldn't know how to tell now lol). But every time I have a doubt about whether or not it's PDP, I go through my mental list of what I remember from the assessment (I got quite a high score lol) and remind myself all the reasons why it is PDP. And that really helps me too. Anyway, thank you so much Dan for all your videos. I watch a one or two every day when I start feeling symptoms, and they really help me reframe my mindset.

[@brandonsimon2804]

My PDP caused so much muscle tension that I actually did mess some areas up lifting weights which caused real symptoms !! I’ve had so much cardiac screening done as well as a full body CT screening so I know it’s just from anxiety tension . Took a long time to get here but finally feel confident I can do this

Out for a walk after spending time trying to clean kitchen tiles. Halfway through walk "pain" in upper body catching me sideways. Mind thinking, oh it was the cleaning or..... Obviously I don't want to do the cleaning jobs 😂.

Thanks for watching!

[@Lenneke8422]

Ty Dan for making this video. 100 💯 know it is TMS. I never ever give up I know I will get through this because so many have😊. There is no doubt whatsoever. My brain didn't get the message yet that is all. Of course I sometimes am totally fed up with this. I did the fast start again. I treat myself better with more kindness. I respond calm to the signals dont freak out. I just went to the dentist (amongst other I have mouthpain) so a big fat win 🏆. Talk more to my brain now was I think a bit to neutral 😐. Focus on safety. Love you loads Dan ty ❤🌷♥️🌷♥️🌷♥️😘😘😘 10:57

Sustained serious spiral fracture of the humerus. Sat two hours in a&e. They wanted to insert 12"plate, I declined. Hospital couldn't believe I took one paracetamol ! They said I'd need co.codamol. If PDP was a 9/10 the fracture was a 2. Crazy eh. But all the proof I needed. Five months for bone to heal then the PDP went through the roof. Am still work in progress, so probably neutral. Good days and better days but anxiety panic attacks still hovering. I know I need to up the reassurance talks and by getting out my comfort zone do the same. Great video thanks

[@purpledragonfly2509]

Thank you so much Dan for your daily videos. They are my spark of hope every morning. I'm also one of those, who always have symptoms (24/7), even though I know so much about TMS and have no doubt, that it relates to my symptoms. I wonder, if my subconscious mind does not believe my messages of safety, because I take anxiety meds. Without them I would be 100% bedbound. I know, it is a difficult topic, but do you know anyone, who is making progress despite taking them?

[@PainFreeYou]

Meds will not prevent recovery. If they provide benefit, take then until this mindbody work allows you to no longer need them. (not medical advice)

[@merildo]

Great post Dan. I score over 40. I get it. But I think I need to talk to my brain more. Wonder what those who like to do this say. I find I need that xx

[@chrissygunther79]

Dan! Have you seen people with chronic dizziness and visual symptoms get better even though this mainly applies to pain? I love your content.

[@HillyMilton]

I highly recommend the steady coach on KZbin for dealing with dizziness from a mind body perspective!

[@Togetbb]

Hi Dan. I was feeling better for a few days. Then I came on vacation. And I woke up one morning with the most stiffness and unable to rotate my head. It’s the same side I have had problems on my neck. But I’m wondering if stiffness is tms?

[@ellendevisser7988]

Where can i found the assessments you Talked about?

[@PainFreeYou]

IsThisPDP.com There is a link to the pain test and the FIT assessment are the bullet point questions on that page. Take them both for each symptom you are in doubt about.

Hey Why you don’t SEO Your videos properly?

so we can uncode the pain signals ?

[@D-NastyNoise]

Hi Dan. I've done the pain test and Fit assessments. I've scored a 25 and don't have any of the FIT assessments. Yet, Dr's can't give me any answers. I don't want to commit suicide, but I can't live like this another day. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My issues are severe, complicated and too many to count. Haven't been able to walk or stand up in 6 years from severely tight contracted knees and weakness. 34 years of crippling back pain prior. Left shoulder is also contracted, severe pain in penis, tinnitus in right ear, bruxism, my tongue won't stop pressing against my front tooth, anxiety, panic attacks for last 24 years, PTSD, severe mental and emotion abuse, acid reflux. I worked with a personal trainer the last year and have made some progress in beaing able to walk in short bursts, buy I can't put my heels down and I'm hunched over from the contractuons. I look like a zombie from The Walking Dead. I'm also stuck living with my mother who is mentally ill and an alcoholic. She has been a nightmare since I was a child and now I'm stuck here with her. She is a human panic attack. I can't take this anymore. Sorry for the long message, but its a complicated situation. Thanks

[@Lesli_Skye]

Please dont give up on life. Sorry your going thru this. Life can change for the better. Dont give up on yourself. Get outside help from people and reach out to friends. Prayers for you.

[@D-NastyNoise]

@Lesli_Skye Thank you. Unfortunately, all my friends disappeared when I stopped walking and I can't get anyone who understands what needs to be done. Of course they all want lots of money either way. Thank you for your comment I appreciate it.

Do you have a success story for occipital neuralgia? I KNOW it's TMS but I'm not seeing many stories out there. Thank you Dan. I always appreciate your videos.

[@infinitepossibilities337]

The symptom doesn't matter. The symptoms you get and the ones that stick around are the ones that you focus on, the ones you FEAR the most, and that BOTHER you the most. I know its not the message you were looking for but i'm pretty sure ive seen recovery stories mentioning that specific one. But in my opinion being specific symptom focused is only holding you back. Work on your response to symptoms and focus on safety as a whole

[@bnobel74]

all the sarno books I have read say that in order to get better you need to know what caused the pain in the first place? In so many of his books he refers to figuring out the root cause ie. the emotion or the reason for the repressed rage? I think this is where most people get stuck....................... ?

[@PainFreeYou]

In my opinion, the root cause is that the brain perceived danger. My fast start playlist explains in depth. DansFastStart.com - watch, take notes, implement, repeat.

How can I tell if my recent 4 mo. Hip pain is tms/pdp? Sleeping on left side, wakes me up. Assessments say I have tms but what if some of my chronic pain is tms and some not? I'm a worry wart and literally can't stop it seems.

[@arzuozkan370]

I exactly have the same thoughts. ❤

[@PainFreeYou]

Do the assessments specifically JUST for the hip. If it says TMS, that's what it is. IsThisTMS.com

[@CruisingWithElena]

Wow so symptoms far exceeds the actual pain wow Thnku this is TMS or PDP. Neutral is not enough u must accept its PDP and stop all focus and if it bothers u feel it breath breath deeply and say I feel but better and move in stop focusing. Do stuff it’s true when I do stuff I act as if I’m ok and I am at those moments. Just keep at it. Keep away from dr they scare u shitless. Once I get ok bill of health stop going.
