Shauna's TMS/PDP Success Story - Ankylosing Spondylitis, TMJ, Iritis & Alexithymia

[@lalanellie8396]

Thank you both so much. This has been hands down the best interview for me personally. As an RA sufferer I have lodged the diagnosis and the fear-based future prognosis into my brain! Because there aren’t many success stories with autoimmune that has further wedged this ‘I’m not going to get better’ belief deep into my sub-conscious. So I have never been on board 100% even though I’ve wanted to be. This has been so helpful. Hopefully I will be a success story one of these days. Have really cleaned up my diet and there’s been no change in symptoms, in fact they’ve got worse! This has got to be the reason. Toni ❤

The interesting thing I have experienced is that when you change the focus, it goes away. If you have to face an emergency and have to act quickly, it goes away, when ever you have to be in the moment, such as talking passionately about a subject and or laughing your head off, it goes away.

[@PainFreeYou]

Thats perfect proof your body is perfectly fine.

[@cindybrown1356]

I just love Shauna, the way she boldly told her story, yet at the same time, willing to take advice from you, Dan… She was pretty much drug through hell as a young person. She stopped it! I really appreciate her taking the time to share her story, it blessed my heart, and I know it’s helping so many people here!

[@Inge508]

Loved this successtory! Well done Shauna! I’m like you trying to stop a whole lot of generational dysfunction , and by doing that hard work , heal myself from pain and symptoms and learn my kids, friends, neighbors to feel their emotions and not stay in fight and flight all the time. Thanks for sharing both of you❤

[@deirdrefinnegan5436]

Is there something about 13 years? My story is 13 years as well, and I’ve heard it more than once! So happy for you, Shauna!

[@PainFreeYou]

Nope - I have thousands of viewers and hundreds of clients with years other than 13. haha Hope you are well Dierdre.

[@liannevalle]

I resonate SO MUCH with her recovery story. Totally different symptoms but very similar recovery. Thank you for sharing Shauna and Dan!

[@Planty-Mandy]

I’ve just discovered what Alexithymia is too and I resonate with that. I was definitely that child that didn’t want to make waves because there was no space for my emotions. Especially anger! Sadness was a safer emotion. I’m learning now how to excavate those emotions and feel them again. It’s amazing how fully feeling those emotions doesn’t flare up my pain. Stuffing them down and ignoring them does.

[@marieleak8731]

Love that quote. Brilliant!!! Thank you Shauna and Dan.

[@cheryl8493]

Shauna, You were truly Amazing!! Thanks so very much!!

[@PainFreeYou]

Glad it was helpful!

[@daveh7038]

Wow, I can see why before she discovered the TMS diagnosis t hat she had all of these other conditions. I had a similar childhood with a troublesome controlling mother, it sets you up for these issues .

[@tlee62]

Wow another great ‘success’ story, thank you Shauna for sharing your ‘techniques’, your upbringing sounds very familiar to mine , I eish Id known this stuff earlier it would’ve helped me so much with bringing up my own kids. Thank you ❤

[@davidheer1471]

Congrats Shauna Once I started to realize all TMS is the same regardless of labels, you dont have to treat it for anything.

[@periknows]

Thanks for sharing Shauna. My story is very similar with iritis except I researched a few years ago that of all the organs in our body, the eyes use up the most vitamin C. So I began taking 1000mg per day and have thankfully not had any further attacks. I hope this information helps someone out there because vitamin C has certainly been a life changer. I have recently discovered you Dan and am so grateful for all your advice. I am beginning to notice a shift in energy and symptoms by following your protocols. To use your terminology- bring it on💪. Keep up the wonderful work Dan and thanks again.

[@lindapelle8738]

Wow that’s a great tip for the eyes my mom is elderly and having some eye problems so I’m going to get on her about taking vitamin C. Thanks for the tip

[@gia5959]

Thank you both 🤗

[@jules9628]

Whats that saying about genetics? Something like, genetics is the gun but lifestyle is the trigger. We dont have to pull the trigger when we learn and know … well, the truth about TMS. And thank you for Another top notch interview. This one was so close to my story in several ways I was blown away. The family dysfunction, the eye pain, -still undiagnosed -except I know its TMS PDP, also, fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue that has a mind of its own and comes and goes… It’s great to know what it is, but I am still working on making it all go away. Looking forward to the book😊 Have a great day & Thank you again.

[@tamarajulien3015]

I recognize Shauna from some purse groups! 👛 Great success story! Way to go lady!! 🎉

[@mischievousmuffin5568]

Been looking for a video that kind of relates to my issue. I've been totally incapacitated by my many symptoms my whole life. Knowing that people are managing to put their AS into remission is encouraging but I do have that nagging thought you talk about where you tell yourself your too messed up to "fix" yourself. I've kind of known about the mind body connection stuff for awhile now but I've not managed to adopt it into my life. I really struggle with my mind and energy. I'm so depressed and full of anxiety that it dulls my senses to the point where my intelligence and ability to communicate in a meaningful way are hindered. I use coffee to some effect to get my brain working, but i feel that my underlying anxiety combined with the coffee leads me to burn out super quickly and end up in a useless, retarded puddle of my self over and over again. Everything is hard to do when your exhausted and confused and constantly burnt out from some subconscious program killing you from the background. Does anyone else out there relate? like your ability to focus and feel ok are hopelessly broken forever? Like, without some sort of stimulant I'm just raw negative emotion with no drive or ability to do anything. Thank god for stimulants but i cant sustain that for any more than a few days before crashing and burning and being useless for many days. Over and over again this happens. Trying to revisit this mind body stuff again in hopes something sticks. Sorry I'm rambling. Just desperately reaching into the darkness i guess.

[@lindapelle8738]

Hi I just saw your comment on Dans site About burn out and coffee. It took me a long time to learn that coffee even though it feels good for the moment it just causes more anxiety even decaf because that has 30% caffeine still too much for me. I don’t know how much pain you have but pain and anxiety can cause a lot of exhaustion. I’m not a sleeper even when I had CFS really bad many years ago I was tired but I don’t sleep well I also had fibromyalgia. My biggest problem now is TMJ and Trigeminal neuralgia which is nerve pain and a tooth on the left side of my face from a Dentist who said if he did a surgery on my phone my TMJ would go away and never dead he just created a new symptom worse than all the others. Anyway I wish they would make a coffee that tastes good Absolutely zero caffeine. If you find one please let me know. I hope you’re doing well I see people with autoimmune problems getting better all the time. I personally believe and so do many other doctors that Phibro is auto immune I mean more in the holistic MD world. And people get better all the time, at first I thought I had lupus, I also have thyroiditis that’s auto immune and people get better from that all the time. So keep going don’t even think about that being an issue it’s just a name they give. My good holistic MD said I don’t care if it’s Phibro or MS or lupus it’s just a different set of symptoms many of them overlap. Oh yeah one doctor thought I had MS as well.

[@mischievousmuffin5568]

@@lindapelle8738 Yeah i know about the coffee anxiety relationship. I just dont really have many other ways to get my ass moving. Im trying to keep it at one or two cups a day but regaurdless im a nervous wreck. Man, sounds like your having as many issues as i am. Im currently looking through a dude named Ralph's videos to better help my issues. Its in the same realm of this Dan characters methods but much more detail. I followed this guys stuff years ago and our ailments were basically identical. Food causing all kinds of joint pains and mental issues. Ill put in a link if you want to check his stuff out. He talks alout about Fibromyalgia being an issue of the nervous system gone wild. Who knows. Might resonate with you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoitanyNr5eeo5o

[@sherylmarshall1444]

Thank you so glad you are happy healthy and pain free well done ! Thanks for the tip this is invaluable to me. I will now ask myself what am I feeling if I have pain or symptoms as well as trying to live my life. As I know I’m afraid just burying it. I’m afraid of having anxiety as it kept spilling into night heart palpitations and adrenaline dumps. So I’ll try feel it without fear or at least feel it and work on the latter. So appreciate this video. I know when I’m ok I’m worried that I’ll get symptoms so that keeps me stuck.

[@mollieanne]

I understand the fear of anxiety symptoms. But only way to get over this is to stop fearing it. I know easier said than done. Takes practice and telling yourself that you are safe.

[@claudiomasi3416]

Wow so encouraging

[@joemachu]

I was Diagnosed since 2007. The eyes are also affected by emotions, but there is little written material regarding eye inflammation and TMS. Rheumatologists and ophthalmologists do not have the answers other than to resort to prescribing steroids.

[@marcelafenner3772]

Hi Dan Can Hashimoto (auto immune condition) be cured or reversed 40 years after manifesting, If treated as TMS? Thank you very much for your KZbin videos.

[@Cangurul0921]

When I see videos like that it makes me so angry...like I hear my own story..and the story of so many many other adults that are in pain now but once were helpless children... My dad - a psychopath. My mother - codependent. It was always about their drama, like they made us just to have someone to complain about their own problems. We were not allowed to be children. And each time we tried to talk about us we were shut down and laughed at because it was non sense, it was just in our head. I grew up hearing my mother saying how she's going to die because of my father and all her problems. But she also instructed us to never ever tell him a word but actually be nice to him. She was using us to express her emotions, we were boiling because of the rage we accumulated on him but then she forced us to don't tell him anything because she wanted us to be a "happy" family. So f*cked...and while it sounds clear now, it took me 2 years of psychoanalysis to realise that my mother, the saint, the victim, the one who " sacrificed everything for the children " was as bad as my father because all she cared about was her own problems and she had no empathy to understand us. Not only that we were totally neglected as kids, but they used us to express their negativity and all the drama. While we had to repress everything. 30 years later, they are still together in in their madness and have no physical issues while me and my brother are a total mess, both with CPTSD and me also with autoimmune issues after vaccine and covid...but it clearly started all earlier, the more I listen and read and understand the mind-body connection, the more sense it makes...unfortunately i feel that severe trauma requires years and years of therapy and work with oneself...

[@maxbr3280]

Dan do you belive from what you know now that AS is also TMS?

[@PainFreeYou]

The physical structure of AS is what it is. No denying that. But the big question is whether or not the PAIN is from AS or from TMS. Take the assessments to determine YOUR cause of pain. AS or TMS. IsThisTMs.com

[@maxbr3280]

​@@PainFreeYouthank you for anwser. But that means, like the Progression of the disease would continue and everything else still Like how the doctors say, including that inflammation stays and the damage still progressing, but i can Stop the pain. This is what you are saying? Thanks again!

[@lindapelle8738]

My symptoms started about a year and a half after I started a beyond stressful management position. I ignored the little signs and kept going working long hours, more signs will come up little ones ignore ignore ignore when I got bigger ones in my back ignore, and it had to go to my jaw still at night, then I got a flu that lasted forever couldn’t ignore kick me down.Then came CFS fibromyalgia and a host of other issues interstitial cystitis. I didn’t help that we lived in a nice home I wasn’t married but lived with my partner for 13 years and we had a very unusual leak that flooded our third level downstairs not a basement California doesn’t have basements. I am in system has never been awesome and I just couldn’t tolerate it he didn’t want to fix it properly even though it looked fine. And I could smell the mildew my best friend could smell it but by the time I got so sick I couldn’tLeave eventually I did I left him too.

[@christinamartins8483]

Last December I had severe tooth pain went to dentist and they found nothing. It radiates to different areas. It has come back and stronger. I wonder if this could be TMS and causing TMJ. I get so many other symptoms and they area getting better. Wonder if it's also Symptom Imperative.

[@ΔέσποιναΚουρέτση-ξ4χ]

Would TMS work also help conditions like MS? (multiple sclerosis)

[@PainFreeYou]

Very tricky question. Sometimes MS is a misdiagnosis based on symptom observation and not MRI of the brain. Some are told they have MS even without the white spots in the brain MRI. No guarantees, but there is literally no downside to teaching our brains we are not sick or broken in any way. Only benefit. We are safe. DansFastStart.com

[@lindapelle8738]

@@PainFreeYou I agree with Dan plus many people are curing their MS completely with diet there’s a doctor out there who was in a wheelchair for many years, it had to rotate backwards because she couldn’t move her head forward. She did a lot of research now she is a champion in the MS world wish I could remember her name but just re-search cure for MS and you’ll find her. Mix that with some TMS and you’re probably good to go. She’s happy as a clam.And so are many other with MS who followed her protocol I think TMS is part of everything personally but I’m not a doctor.

[@mollieanne]

They are finding out a lot more that genetics do not play a role in most diseases.

[@PainFreeYou]

I agree completely.

[@unknown1993E]

Hello, I really have a scary new symptom : tingling in my lower legs. My legs feel weak as hell ..anyone has it ?

[@liannevalle]

Yup, this is one of my worst symptoms of 30+ symptoms. Assuming you've had clear tests, it's TMS.

[@unknown1993E]

@liannevalle yes its TMS..it began after a long and permanent period of anxiety. I suffered from GAD.. now it's pain tingling twitching and the scariest system is weakness of the limbs. How did overcome it ?

[@liannevalle]

​@@unknown1993E Still a work in progress and have tried different modalities in the last two years. I got sick 4 years ago. But in the last two years, I gave birth to my third baby, went on road trips, went on vacations and theme parks, kept up with my kids and chores, etc. even with this particular symptom and 30+ more. This is huge progress - I was going to DR appts in a wheelchair 4 years ago when I first came down with illness. I have quite a story to share when I'm fully recovered. This is the way out to reclaiming your life. It's not easy. It's probably the most challenging thing you'll ever go through. But think of it as a mind/body/spirit bootcamp. I've become a better wife and mother. More resilient to stress. Just waiting for my body to catch up to my mind. You're going to get to the other side a brand new amazing person with a resilient nervous system. Keep going.

What are the best pain relievers for pain in that area? Thx

I am not a doctor and nothing I do involves medication. See your doctor regarding medications. However, if you would like to understand what causes pain and determines the intensity, watch my fast start playlist of videos. Watch, take notes, implement, repeat.
