You Don't Have to Learn How to Tolerate Symptoms

I don't teach you how to cope with pain, but to eliminate it. #chronicpain #MindBodyConnection #painfreeyou #mindbodymedicine #mindbodysyndrome #perceiveddangerpain #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicpaincoach

Thank you for this observation, Dan. I’m sure I’m not alone in this: just about every doctor I have ever seen, has told me to literally, “get used to,” or “up your tolerance threshold” to pain and/or other symptoms. Talk about being miserable! I’m so grateful for your wisdom ❤

I freak out from the menopausal symptom. I do have to learn to accept that symptom and the uncertainty of when it will diminish. I think the reason the symptom lingers longer is the fighting. Imo these symptoms are supposed to be there to a point. There is nothing wrong. It isn't a disease.

Is all I have to do is messages of safety?

[@moneygetten]

Focus on the good stuff in life,think about the good stuff, and if symptoms show up react with safety...its Just a nervous system state[fight/flight] in wich you are stuck...b3cause you thing you have a big problem[percieved danger] teach yourself.

[@moneygetten]

Walk outside and observe things, hear things,smell things, do it too desenstitize your overprotective brain...go live your life like you woud do if you diddnt have this issue...train that overprotective brain!!! Relax ...that nervous system will shift back too safety/rest/digest...your body is ok...its Just anxiety

[@Dandelionsandbutterflies]

@@moneygetten I do those things. Have been for a while. Are you recovered?

[@moneygetten]

Im almost there...drop the dispair and frustration...it keeps you stuck...its not a effective stratagy

[@Dandelionsandbutterflies]

@@moneygetten how would I do that? I try.

My pain is not livable

[@moneygetten]

Its Just a nervous system state...all symptoms...change that horrorstory in your head first. Your nervous system will follow-up

@moneygetten My situation is very complicated. I can't find anyone that has contracted knees locked in flexion and severe weakness in the legs. I could not walk or stand for 5 years. Dr's could not give me answers. I still spend the majority of the day in bed, but I made progress with a personal trainer friend. I can now walk up to 30 minutes straight, but then I fatigue badly and I'm walking tip toe because my heels won't go down cause of the knee contractions. How do you focus on liviing life like this? I do also have severe back pain for 35 years, a frozen shoulder from crawling up stairs, tinnitus I believe is from wearing headphones alot, my mouth is so dry and sticky. I can't stop pressing my tongue against my front tooth 24/7, my tongue gets cut up. I also have extremely painfully erections and ejacution. Acid reflux. Definitely have anxiety, depression, PTSD and brain fog from the symptoms and trauma in my life. My mom is mentally ill and a major narcissistic, bad tempered, alcoholic who I have no choice but to live with her. I lost my girlfriend, my friends and everything I had. My job, apartment, car, all my possessions. Which included guitars, clothes, electronics, everything. I'm also addicted to xanax for the last 7 years. Got off pain meds cold turkey. Abandoned by my father, have no other real family. Mom and Dad used to beat each other and break everything when I ws 6 years old. I can't believe I haven't committed suicide. I'm so traumatized. I could write a book. Sorry for the long ass rant. Is this all TMS? Partly? Its hard to have belief when in limbo. Dr's can't find shit, but the usual herniated disc and spinal stenosis diagnosis which they never said I needed surgery for. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I know it's alot. I'm just beyond burnt out. I have more symptoms, but these are the worst.
