Since I took the assessment about 2 weeks ago my chronic pain from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue has been cut in half. It's like a miracle! Thank you and keep putting out this amazing content! ❤
This is so reassuring for everyone to know. When "lost" in your own particular "symptoms" realising it's all from the one source helps to turn around the belief that "yours are different" & therefore not curable, especially if this was told to you by a "medical" person. Thank you as always Dan...love you!❤
Dan I‘m making progress!!! I‘m so happy. The last two days I was able to meet my friends. Two days in a row! Without a crash in between😍 two days ago I was at my friend‘s house and we had a great evening there. After two hours the Symptoms started kicking in (CFS) and i texted my mom if she could pick me up. BUT: I just leaned back, closed my eyes and talked to my brain haha. Hey brain, I‘m actually having a great time and i really am safe, etc. And for the VERY FIRST time, the symptoms went back down!!! When my mom arrived, I was like: Hey I‘m feeling better again😂😂
I have been watching Dan for a little over a month now. I was suffering from horrible pelvic pain on and off for 3 months. Went to 2 gyno’s, my primary and urgent cares a few times. Was told that absolutely nothing was wrong. I felt hopeless and didn’t know how much more I could take. I am doing very well now! To whoever is reading this I just want you to know that it WILL get better. Even if you are unsure of TMS. Even if you think you are the one person that can’t benefit from this. Even if you feel hopeless. I promise you, I felt all of those things. I thought my pain was “different” and I was just unlucky. But here I am proving to myself every day that I am healthy and there is nothing wrong. If I can do it, so can you! Thank you for your videos Dan. They helped me through a really dark time. I am so close to being completely pain free. Hang in there friends, you can do this.
@@amandahessel5365 the first thing I did was listen to the book: The Way Out by Alan Gordon. I was down so bad. Crying in the bathtub every night. Sleeping for hours when I could. I found that book and listened to it while forcing myself to clean my kitchen instead of googling into a downward spiral. I started doing the somatic tracking that night and then started going on 5 - 10 min walks in the morning everyday where I would talk to my brain and tell myself I am safe, okay, healthy, my body is fine. The book explains all of this so I recommend reading or listening to it. I just kept myself that I will be okay no matter what. This made my symptoms pretty manageable. They were still there but so much better than before
What Dan says is true. The symptoms will go away if you don’t give them any attention. I started to have no pain on the weekends when I was hanging out with friends because I wasn’t constantly thinking and monitoring my symptoms. My symptoms would show up again Monday morning. When I would realize I had no symptoms at times I finally accepted that it was TMS and TMS only. I hope this helps 🧡
@@gabbymayfield4259Hi I’m happy for you . I have super colorful symptoms in my rectum and pelvic pain over 7 years ! Can’t sit stand or lay down so I rarely sleep because of it 😢😖😭 Many many many other symptoms a lot of what Dan just mentioned! After countless tests and procedures nothing is found and this all started after a cold turkey forced withdrawal and my CNS went totally unstable. I need to hear the best advice you can tell me helped you .
Yes I had this with pelvic pain & sciatica. The latter I had with accompanying back pain intermittently for 30 years, then recently for nearly 3 years every day. The mind body approach has helped enormously... Currently pelvic pain and sciatica free
It's easy for me to fall back into a version of myself that reacts to pain with fear and negativity, but I am working on it! -- reminders like this are so important to reinforce safety! The mind-body approach to healing is changing my relationship with pain and the world around me too.
Dan thank you so much! I have been waiting for this video I have 24 of the symptoms and tons of them diagnosis from doctors that you have listed and I have been having symptoms for 23 years I have gone the doctor route about 17 regular and homeopathic doctors every test you can imagine always nothing life threatening and I have believed I have TMS for about 6 months after finding your videos but one thing settles down and another one rises with a vengeance so I will be your poster child if I can heal anyone can I have never stayed in bed even if I have had to crawl I have tried to stay happy and not feel sorry for myself I am a fighter.I have a husband that is wonderful and always says if I hadn`t seen all your weird symptoms first hand I wouldn`t believe them. Thank you for doing this video I now know 100% I can be pain free and symptom free!!!!!
I developed tinnitus while in treatment for PTSD. Pretty awful. Tests say my hearing is completely fine, so I hope I can train my brain to relax and not worry about it, so it will eventually go away.
Prostatitis is DEFINITELY in that list too. How do I know? Because I was diagnosed with it about 15 years ago. After rounds of antibiotics, MRI, and visits to the Urologist, and nothing helped, it finally hit me that this IS a PDP/TMS symptom. It took me a few years to finally settle that realization into my brain. It’s like our brain literally argues with us and “challenges” us to convince IT that we’re OK. So I began the process to teach my brain as Dan said. If you’re a male, I would still strongly recommend to get the annual physical exams(including PSA), watch your diet, eat healthy, exercise but in my humble opinion our emotional wellbeing (or lack of) definitely is one of the main reasons for Prostatitis. If you happen to deal with it right now, do not lose hope. Consider implementing all the teachings from Dan’s videos and believe you will heal. The key is accepting it comes from our PDP/TMS as the root cause.
Wow, this is awesome!! Dan, I was in your group coaching last year for CFS. Taking your approach I got on with life despite the symptoms and saw massive improvements. This year I herniated a disc and then developed chronic discomfort to the shoulder, followed by anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia and the return of severe cfs. I just had a lightbulb moment during this video - all of the symptoms/diagnoses are a result of only one problem - a scared brain perceiving danger. It suddenly seems so obvious. For some reason I have to keep learning this lesson again and again and again. My brain has been slow to let go of it’s old thinking patterns. More and more evidence for tms. Thankyou!
I need to comment: If you ask medical doctors about the origin of any disease they really, really don´t know!!! They start to stutter around and often lament about genetics, which has long been refuted. However, I know three doctors who say quite clearly that illness is caused by inner conflicts, false belief systems, inner pressure and self-condemnation! And they did empirical studies, they asked patients about life conditions, life paths and events in complete contrast to the completely unscientific conventional medicine! So what is a "real" or "legitimate" disease?...... Maybe something that makes us profitable customers of the pharmaceutical companies.....?
You missed out long covid! I really LOVE this video. I've had ME for many years, I had a fall 3 years ago and,was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome. Then I got covid and didn't recover from that either. 3 syndromes. All feel exactly the same - I know it's Pdp. Score 14 in the Fit test. I'm determined to get better.
We always recover, the body repairs. It might not be A1 but. As we age quality of cells naturally deteriorate depending on what you're feeding it. Genetic stuff gets switched on by epi genetics. "Faulty" genes on their own are the main drivers in two or three diseases only. Read Bruce Liptons book. Long COVID is what was previously known as post viral. So much fear is feeding everything. understandable seeing what the world's been through. The LV label was invented by pharma. Makes you wonder how much was caused by the injection. We can all change.
14 of 19 on the FIT test is 10000% TMS/PDP. You are in the right place. While I didn't mention Long Covid by name, many of the so-called long covid symptoms are in the list I went through. Long covid is not one symptom. It is a collection of symptoms, of which most, if not all are on this list.
Actual long Covid is a vascular/neurological disease that causes endothelial damage. It is not TMS. Anyone who thinks they have long Covid and healed using the TMS approach, didn’t have long Covid…they just believed they did. If they truly had long Covid, they’d have endothelial damage.
I recently developed painful bladder syndrome / IC symptoms randomly after two traumatic medical procedures. Your videos have given me so much hope. Thank you thank you thank you. I have felt so alone the last 8 weeks.
I have a buzz in my left ear. I just live with it and generally ignore it. I call it my “white noise” when sleeping. While I have used some low key TMS strategies for 2 years it has not gone away. But if I’m relaxed about it and doesn’t really impact my life I’m not sure what to think. It did start after a long use of doxycycline for a suspected tick bite. No signs of Lyme. Right now I’m experiencing some lower digestion symptoms. I absolutely believe that is stress. I had something around Christmas which threw everything off so I’ve been worried and trying all sorts of things to get back in balance. Obsessed about it. Just this week I looked you up again, Dan, to see what you have to say. Bingo. I also have the gut brain book on order from my library. Trying to relax and keep away from some brain stressors that are no doubt causing this disruption and distraction. I may join your group. I’ll see how this initially goes. Thanks.
Even if it's not on the list... I originally found you Dan because my teen daughter was going through bone cancer which is supposed to be one of the most painful kinds. We were looking for alternative ways to help bring the pain down in addition to the medical stuff. Little did I know I'd need it too after she passed because the grief was so much that my body started acting out with a chronic illness they called long covid. Anyway my point is your techniques significantly helped her with the pain in her final months and she even left me a note telling me similar things that you say that I think she must've gotten listening to you, things like embrace the pain because it hurts more and gets bigger if you run from it. So face it and go toward it and you'll see you are bigger than it. So yeah this stuff might not CURE other things not on the list but it can sure make it a lot easier to get through crippling pain or symptoms.
Holy cow!! There are so many from this list I have experienced, some I no longer affect me, there are quite a few that are lingering … it’s amazing when you hear the list 😳😳
I got skipped "pvc" heart palps when you were reading this list, another psychogenic symptom. I rotate through most of these.... Sarno's genius shining through you...👍
I struggle with heart palpitations. I’m not sure if he would consider them perceived danger as well. They scare the life out of me literally. I’ve had them for 5 years plus now and cannot lose the fear.
Hi Dan, love your perspective on brain and structural pain vs perceived danger pain. It took me years to find answers into my pain, and admittedly a long the way most doctors said it was in my head. Well they weren't wrong! I had a brain tumor and also a rare progressive neuro motor condition. While I may not be able to stop some of the pain and symptoms, just the knowledge of what to expect and what I was dealing with relieved anxiety and my symptoms lessened almost instantly because I could accept the current me. My only focus on life is to breathe through the pain and check in to see what truly might be exacerbating it. Finding your videos has just validated I'm on the right track. Thanks for sharing this information and being so tactful about conditions that do cause physical pain. It's such a balance to tune in and know what's going on!
Thanks Dan ❤ I had symptoms on my holiday but I still keep going out every day and had enjoyment in amongst the symptoms. The day I came back home all the symptoms ramped up. I know it’s TMS but worry my home also has mould as I can se it under my sink but my land lord says it’s not that bad so won’t do anything. So can’t help on top 😢
Fear of the mold is likely more of an issue than the mold. You can likely hire someone in to properly clean that up so you don't have to worry. Often we have worse symptoms at home because the brain has associated home as the place we have experienced the most symptoms. It may simply be a conditioned response. Teach your brain the home is not the problem.
Anismus or dyssynergic defecation in my opinion is absolutely TMS / PDP. Pelvic floor pain and tightness plagued me for 2 years. And unfortunately dyssynergic defecation was my number 1 symptom. Two years of absolute darkness. I always felt that my thoughts were in some way causing it. But I had no idea what to do. Finding Dan and his limitless content has given me my life back. I still have a tough day here and there but I know how to respond. I’ve been on vacation all week, a staycation at home…and it’s been wonderful. Hope really is the key…and hope is achieved by accurate knowledge and messages of safety. ❤. The journey continues. 💪🏻
Hi Dan, I'm so grateful for your videos! I'd love to hear your thoughts on long covid if you're open to discussing it. I haven't experienced it myself but I've seen a few mindbody syndrome experts suggest that this could also be neuroplastic. To me it seems to meet all the criteria as well. Interested to hear your take on this!
Very good video and so reassuring thank you Dan, ive had FND and hypermobility thrown at me and ever since my brain has been going haywire with symptoms. I need to keep reminding myself that it’s just pdp.
Am I the only useless sod out there...that seems despite commitment....I'm getting absolutely nowhere at accepting symptoms.... Giving it my all to achieve anything...... I won't give in...but...my brain must be one strong force to reckon with....and persuade it that I'm safe....all is ok..... I could get a degree on this subject.... I take on board everything that's suggested....😢😢😢🥺
What you said in the very beginning - How symptoms behave - is sooo important! A friend of mine currently has issues with CFS like PEM after a really stressful life period and was terrified she had MS or something serious. I told her from the beginning that considering the emotional turbulences and how her symptoms behave - totally knocked out one day and perfectly fine the next - I would assume it's rather TMS. A neurologist confirmed. "We will do the MRI to rule out stuff but I am sure you are fine. If you are okay in a stressful situation and feel worse afterward, this clearly indicates a psychosocial condition. A broken engine doesn't keep up until you are off the highway, it gives up when you go all in."
My symptoms are tinnitus, anxiousness, anxiety, skin sensitivity, random body pains, burning hot sensations, blurry vision, tightness of chest, shallow breathing and pins and needles.
Hi Dan, I have done an extensive amount of research on this topic due to a whiplash injury I received a year ago. While I totally embrace the conceptthat symptoms can be amplified by anxiety and fear and hence why I am pursuing a mind body approach to aid healing but it is well documented in the medicalliterature that ligaments and tendons are very slow to heal especially in an older person due to a poor blood supply and very often do not heal properly and some can be permanent. I received stem cells in these ligaments to give myself another chance at healing and many people have had success with this procedure but just wanted to provide some education on this topic.
Have you done the TMS assessments to see how your symptoms are behaving? How many of the FIT questions do you answer as true? IsThisTMS.com That is more important than the theory of poor healing due to age.
I believe I have had many TMS issues over the years that have resolved themselves and have had back pain over the years with bulging discs at 3 levels that seemingly came out of nowhere but no injury like this that has persisted for a year and causes 24/7 headaches and neck pain. I did do the FIT test and of course it had persisted and I didn’t mean to be misleading by saying that only older people’s ligaments don’t heal timely if at all with this condition because there are plenty of young people with the same condition which is craniocervical instability caused by the ligaments holding the head on the body being too loose which causes excessive movement between c1 and c2 vertebrae and can cause people to not even be able to lift their heads up once the muscles can no longer compensate for the stretched out ligaments that are not doing their job. But yes stress and fear can definitely make symptoms worse which is why I watch your posts every morning for some calm reassurance.
@@SonyaBritton-in4kh Aside from the pain, what evidence do you have of tissue damage from the whiplash injury? Pain is not proof of damage, yet it is absolutely proof the brain is perceiving danger. How many of the FIT questions did you answer as TRUE?
I've had Cfs for decades, I learned all this stuff 20 years ago and I've accepted it's a mind body thing but that wasn't enough to help me get any better
Knowing about TMS/mindbody is not the cure. Teaching the brain you are SAFE is the cure. Http://DansFastStart.com - watch, take notes, most importantly ---IMPLEMENT the messages of safety. Repeat until well.
Thank you, Dan. I recently found you and have been really struggling with these concepts. I have many physical conditions, some requiring surgery to resolve. I’ve been avoiding the surgery for years and my pain has been getting worse. The prospect, plus some other financial issues, have caused me to have EXTREME anxiety leading to new symptoms like many of the ones you listed. Anything you can suggest to help my brain accept and understand will be appreciated.
Yes, do the assessments - even on those conditions you are told need surgery. Then decide to accept the assessment. Do the work I spell out in: DansFastStart.com
Hi Dan, what about tingling, internal vibrations, tremors, burning skin and extreme screen sensitivity? Can this also be tms? Sorry for asking, but I think, seeking reasurance is also a typical sign of a scared brain. 😀 Thank you so much for your daily messages! I'm sure, they help so may people in deep despair.🧡
Anxiety is what I suffer from---so if I understand correctly--I talk to my brain to relieve this aweful feeling?? Plus I am mourning the death of my hubby in June, so depression as well ?? Is there someone here that relieved their anxiety this way??? Anyone???
@@PainFreeYouso what I understood in Matty’s story I need to work on the FEAR ? Also, to talk to my body , mind that I am feeling a certain emotion and that’s okay. Depression as well caused by brain perceiving danger. So far I don’t suffer with any body pains (and don’t want to). Anxiety, depression, brain fog and grief are enough. Thank you Dan, I hadn’t seen this success story, it snuck by me somehow so now, I put these tips into action, an interesting journey ahead of me. To be continued………………………..
Hey Dan, thanks so much for the video! Would love to know the Dr who stated all headaches are perceived danger pain? I completely agree as your videos have helped me heal from chronic migraine so thank you so much :)
We CAN eliminate TMS / Perceived Danger Pain without changing our diet. Food is not the cure for TMS. However Diet does matter. Eat decent foods and you will feel better overall.
If anyone is reading this, I no longer have CRPS! It will happen for you too. I still have some other milder tms and anxiety which is why I'm still here learning more.
TMS started for me 12 years ago or so. Back then I rushed out to doctors w every new thing., now I wait. And, I’ve had several on this list. My symptoms constantly shift around. I still struggle when a new symptom arises, even with the knowledge of TMS because it’s hard to discern if something is actually occurring that needs to be checked., Anyway, I’m having new symptoms this summer. But listening to this list blew my mind bc I’ve had at least half of these. For me, TMS is a shapeshifter, not just one chronic pain (like back pain for instance). Ty for your videos.
You're not alone for this. I had anxiety disorder first with frequent panic attacks and persistent symptoms of anxiety 24 7 I'm relieved only when I sleep.. It transformed to TMS after a back injury at the gym...in late 2018. Since that injury..I only struggled with one side pain and tensness . It can be so tense that it gives me dizziness and unsteadiness ( sciatica alike pain..neck tension and back)
❤😊 thank you very informative I have a few of these Tinnitus was exasperated when i was having deep emotional tension when i first hurt my back Even though im still having back symptoms im more emotionally calmer and practice breath work my tinnitus isn't as loud. I can deal with it better.
Hello Dan, thank you for the video. You did not mention symptoms such as rashes, hives, red-marks, blocked nose, sinusitis, allergies (mcs, mcas).... Can these also be caused by PDP/TMS especially if you have other symptoms such as back pain, dizziness, stomache ache, acid reflux and so on? Kind Regards, Lukas Fridell
I have severe Dysautonomia after a run with Covid and difficulties with a special needs son. My sweating and heart rate is out of control at times. The sweating is so bad it looks like I’ve been blasted with a garden hose. Keeps me from going out in any temp over 65 degrees. I’ve had fibro long as I can remember 50 years at least. Anyone else? Lucky the pain I usually have with a flare has not joined this new symptom. Does this join the list?
Hi Dan, I have a few questions: I have Multiple Sclerosis and I am pretty sure I also developed TMS/PDP. I do not know which one came first. Watching this video, I sounds to me as if you think TMS can cause diseases of the immune system too. First question: what’s your opinion on MS? Second question: how do I know which problem is caused by MS and which by TMS? I’ve been using your methods and some other’s (like Alan Gordon) for over a year now, but I am still struggling 😕
Dan you say anxiety is a symptom. I have folks that have obsessive compulsive tendencies. What about Bipolar or manic depression? I know there is no downside to learning this but I wish we had a success story with these symptoms. They just can’t believe it would work for them.
Anxiety is much different than BiPolar or manic depression. I don't claim that my safety approach will resolve all mental health issues. And since I don't promote this work for those severe mental health conditions, it is unlikely I will come across success stories. Regardless of that, feeling safer SHOULD help most physical and mental conditions. There is zero downside. Only benefit.
Hey Dan, what do l do when my body perceives sleep as danger. I am mostly fine during the day but once l go to sleep ,bam l am woken continually through the night with intense pain that stops me from getting much sleep, and even when l do, very superficially. This has been going on for years now. Bad insomnia for 40 years and for about the last 10, when l do get to sleep, the pain starts…
@PainFreeYou Hey Dan, the videos about 24/7 digestive systems helped a lot. I wonder if you had any video recommendations you could point me towards chronic painful flushing in the face and dry skin being TMS. Thank you.
What would your advice be for someone studying to get into the medical field? It is tough because I truly want to help people but a lot of the conditions I am studying is just perceived danger and false information..
Hi Dan! I’ve been following your videos as of recently and was finding comfort in the thought of my symptom being TMS. Recently I’ve been doubtful because I never see my symptom talked about. I know getting lost in the symptoms defeats the point of being successful on healing from TMS, but even after taking the assessments, I still find myself worrying that what i have is not TMS. Story short, I had gotten sick in November of last year and noticed that I had a burning, heavy upper chest pain that eventually settled in my lower chest one day (right in the core area) while scanning papers at my job. I had seen a series of doctors for it, don’t respond to NSAIDS or steroids, gotten all of the tests necessary to rule out something serious and did physical therapy for 5 months. During physical therapy there was a session where the therapist had pushed my chest into a mat firmly while doing an exercise and about 3 days later the symptoms noticeably worsened (I have been clinging onto this as the reason for my continued pain). I had seen the doctor again with no explanation of what has been going on. I made the mistake of googling my symptoms and got wrapped in diagnoses like costochondritis and slipped rib syndrome. I was confronted with information about rib joints locking up and causing chronic pain for years if it’s not resolved, needing surgery, that damaged rib cartilage doesn’t heal, and that these conditions don’t show up on imaging/varying information about responses to treatment. I’m not tender in my lower chest but always seem to hurt with a heavy ache. It makes sitting, standing, and even laying down uncomfortable at times. I notice some days are better than others, but never 100%. I’m worried because I start graduate school at the end of the month and miss the endurance I had last year. Sorry for the long winded comment, seeing the list of likely symptoms/conditions of TMS without my “symptoms” listed made me wonder if healing TMS is the course I need to take. I’ve been feeling alone in my symptoms despite my assessment results. Thank you!!
I cannot cover every possible symptom or scenario. However, I did say that you should take the TMS assessments to see if your symptoms are behaving like TMS. From your explanation, you ARE in the right place. You do not need to hear of another person just like you to get better. If the assessments indicate TMS, then that is what it is. Accept it and begin to teach your scared brain that you are not broken. My fast start playlist will show you the way. Watch over and over again. Take notes. Implement. Repeat. DansFastStart.com
There are more and more "long covid" success stories each day. I have a few on my channel already. PainFreeYouSuccess.com My belief: I think MOST long covid symptoms are coming from a brain perceiving danger. Thus, it's not a viral thing. It's a fear thing. (Conscious and definitely subconscious) That's why a mindbody approach and teaching the brain you are not sick resolves symptoms.
Hi Dan, I really appreciate your videos!! I have been brain rewiring for 6 months, and now have some new symptoms with my feet being sore, tingly and swelling a bit. I am pre-diabetic. Can this be helped?
Tinnitus- I have incredibly catastrophic clicking, ticking, hissing, crackling. I have bruxism & ear pain. I also have hyperacusis. I can’t function anymore… 32 years old nobody can help me what do I do
Dan I am sorry to bother you. I am new to this space and have a question, your work , Sarnos work, Nicole Sachs and many more use the word pain very frequently and I am curious for someone like me I am pain free my issues are more neurological , anxiety, stress type of feelings that cause dizziness, eye perceptions issues and so on. I also have ruled out any major medical issue so that is scratched off but does your work also help with the type of stuff that I am suffering from that is not pain related at all?
I was thinking about something that seems to be reverse of the polyvagal theory, that has happened in my life for decades. It could be back in high school, college, or work life, but whenever the Christmas breaks arrives, I get sick and unwell when I ''relax'', or maybe I don't? :) It seems to be backwards of saying that immune functions gets better when we relax and get into rest and digest mode, but it's at this moment that I get sick. Maybe this feeling of being sick is actually a result of the immune system doing its job, maybe it's all TMS. I don't know for sure, but from what I now understands, I had a very small amount of CFS since childhood, until I got long covid (another form of TMS) in January 2021.
@@ezza1236 I didn't forget. I acknowledge that this is not an exhaustive list. The way for YOU to figure out YOUR chest pain is to do the assessments. That is how you completely resolve this issue for yourself. A video on this topic will just be a reiteration of the core concepts that apply to all persistent pain. The location on the body does not matter. If it's TMS, then it's TMS. IsThisTMS.com How many of the FIT assessment questions do you answer as true?
@@PainFreeYou thanks Dan, I don’t freak out as much best I have had this on and off 3 years and I haven’t died yet, the intensity changes from notthing to severe depending on what I do with intensity or activities, a real issue dosent work like that, you don’t have chest pain severely one week and not the next, makes no sense
Hi there, what are your thoughts on localized inflammation in the body? Could this also be PDP? My inner nostrils randomly got really inflamed and swollen to the point of bleeding daily but there was no infection according to tests. Doc is suspecting autoimmune vasculitis and wants me to get tested but this all seems really random to me since I was perfectly fine /healthy prior to that. I know that I was really stressed out/depressed just before it all started and I have a previous history of panic attacks/anxiety so I wanted to know your thoughts in this.
I’ve had “long covid”/ some sort of dysautonomia for 2 years.. I’ve had all sorts of symptoms.. how do you know you’ve done enough testing ? Is it just the main standard testing?. This always confuses me. I’m honestly tired of all the testing and just want to accept it’s tms and move on but idk if the testing I’ve gotten is enough. Advice please. 🙏🏻♥️
Can allergic reactions be TMS? I’ve been very dysregulated for quite awhile due to tapering off benzodiazapine x, and the other day my wedding ring is creating red, raised, painful, possible allergic reaction. It’s crazy! Could this be TMS? If so, then what about mold? Certain foods?
@@DaniEla-of4eo Yes, the more fear / perceived danger - the more symptoms you can have. It's all caused by the same thing and all have the same solution. safety. DansFastStart.com - maps it out.
Hello Dan I’m new to your videos and this “ TMS “ you keep talking about I was just wondering what those letters stand for exactly. And how do they mean “ brain perceiving danger or Mind Body perception “ ? I looked them up on the Internet they seem to stand for. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, a noninvasive procedure Maybe it’s me but I’m a little confused. I must have missed something Please let me know I do enjoy your videos Thank You Louie
I started going back to the gym last January and I had a lot of starts and stops so I did not get in shape and lose weight in 2 months as planned but it did happen eventually after six or seven months - so there was progress even though it was slow - I have thinned down but I still have the bloated belly but it's okay because I am physically stronger and I can continue on and get in even better shape because I have reached a better level of strength and lost some inches. Now it is much easier to continue and improve to the next level because I have experienced some results. I notice people on the beach who are in their 50s 60s maybe of normal weight but they all have that bloated belly so I wondering what it is all about. How do we get rid of that bloated belly as it is not fat.
Am besten Atemübungen nach Buteyko. Vielleicht chronische Hyperventilation und dadurch falsche Atemmuster. Atemübungen beruhigen zudem das Nervensystem.
Headaches being my number one, I know that it’s mindbody. I’ve had you tell me that I’ve had plenty of others in this field tell me this yet my anxiety switched on at a higher level then I’ve ever had and I have a hard time calming my thoughts of hopelessness and feeling stuck. I feel like it’s Groundhog Day every day. I’ll get a couple days where it’s a little better and then just back to it. It’s 100% because I can’t calm my mind and fear. Which I don’t get bc logically I know this is it
Same boat :) czcams.com/video/XudYRjw1oF8/video.htmlsi=LcGzcPIhV2y1MXBW This guy helps me to get out of fight/flight. Sometimes I do them several times.
I don't want to irritate you by asking this question, but what about a diagnosis of severe hip arthritis. I've done the assessments and it appears to be TMS. I thought I'd read where "severe" is not TMS. Thank you.
Since I took the assessment about 2 weeks ago my chronic pain from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue has been cut in half. It's like a miracle! Thank you and keep putting out this amazing content! ❤
Thanks for sharing! - wonderful.
Awesome 👏 Maybe I should take the assessments a third time 😅
Chronic fatigue is spread by fearful victim people l, sorry to vent but I get angry thinking about all those forums, and negative people
This is so reassuring for everyone to know. When "lost" in your own particular "symptoms" realising it's all from the one source helps to turn around the belief that "yours are different" & therefore not curable, especially if this was told to you by a "medical" person. Thank you as always Dan...love you!❤
Dan I‘m making progress!!! I‘m so happy. The last two days I was able to meet my friends. Two days in a row! Without a crash in between😍
two days ago I was at my friend‘s house and we had a great evening there. After two hours the Symptoms started kicking in (CFS) and i texted my mom if she could pick me up. BUT: I just leaned back, closed my eyes and talked to my brain haha. Hey brain, I‘m actually having a great time and i really am safe, etc.
And for the VERY FIRST time, the symptoms went back down!!!
When my mom arrived, I was like: Hey I‘m feeling better again😂😂
This is so great i have CFS too and it also helps me ❤
Wonderful. Keep at it.
Dips are part of the journey out of CFS. Dan's messages of safety help! I am recovering from CFS as well.
I have been watching Dan for a little over a month now. I was suffering from horrible pelvic pain on and off for 3 months. Went to 2 gyno’s, my primary and urgent cares a few times. Was told that absolutely nothing was wrong. I felt hopeless and didn’t know how much more I could take. I am doing very well now! To whoever is reading this I just want you to know that it WILL get better. Even if you are unsure of TMS. Even if you think you are the one person that can’t benefit from this. Even if you feel hopeless. I promise you, I felt all of those things. I thought my pain was “different” and I was just unlucky. But here I am proving to myself every day that I am healthy and there is nothing wrong. If I can do it, so can you! Thank you for your videos Dan. They helped me through a really dark time. I am so close to being completely pain free. Hang in there friends, you can do this.
What is your one thing that you think really helped you start healing on this journey especially when the pain was bad
@@amandahessel5365 the first thing I did was listen to the book: The Way Out by Alan Gordon. I was down so bad. Crying in the bathtub every night. Sleeping for hours when I could. I found that book and listened to it while forcing myself to clean my kitchen instead of googling into a downward spiral. I started doing the somatic tracking that night and then started going on 5 - 10 min walks in the morning everyday where I would talk to my brain and tell myself I am safe, okay, healthy, my body is fine. The book explains all of this so I recommend reading or listening to it. I just kept myself that I will be okay no matter what. This made my symptoms pretty manageable. They were still there but so much better than before
What Dan says is true. The symptoms will go away if you don’t give them any attention. I started to have no pain on the weekends when I was hanging out with friends because I wasn’t constantly thinking and monitoring my symptoms. My symptoms would show up again Monday morning. When I would realize I had no symptoms at times I finally accepted that it was TMS and TMS only. I hope this helps 🧡
@@gabbymayfield4259Hi I’m happy for you . I have super colorful symptoms in my rectum and pelvic pain over 7 years ! Can’t sit stand or lay down so I rarely sleep because of it 😢😖😭 Many many many other symptoms a lot of what Dan just mentioned! After countless tests and procedures nothing is found and this all started after a cold turkey forced withdrawal and my CNS went totally unstable. I need to hear the best advice you can tell me helped you .
Yes I had this with pelvic pain & sciatica. The latter I had with accompanying back pain intermittently for 30 years, then recently for nearly 3 years every day. The mind body approach has helped enormously... Currently pelvic pain and sciatica free
It's easy for me to fall back into a version of myself that reacts to pain with fear and negativity, but I am working on it! -- reminders like this are so important to reinforce safety! The mind-body approach to healing is changing my relationship with pain and the world around me too.
Dan thank you so much! I have been waiting for this video I have 24 of the symptoms and tons of them diagnosis from doctors that you have listed and I have been having symptoms for 23 years I have gone the doctor route about 17 regular and homeopathic doctors every test you can imagine always nothing life threatening and I have believed I have TMS for about 6 months after finding your videos but one thing settles down and another one rises with a vengeance so I will be your poster child if I can heal anyone can I have never stayed in bed even if I have had to crawl I have tried to stay happy and not feel sorry for myself I am a fighter.I have a husband that is wonderful and always says if I hadn`t seen all your weird symptoms first hand I wouldn`t believe them. Thank you for doing this video I now know 100% I can be pain free and symptom free!!!!!
I developed tinnitus while in treatment for PTSD. Pretty awful. Tests say my hearing is completely fine, so I hope I can train my brain to relax and not worry about it, so it will eventually go away.
Prostatitis is DEFINITELY in that list too. How do I know? Because I was diagnosed with it about 15 years ago. After rounds of antibiotics, MRI, and visits to the Urologist, and nothing helped, it finally hit me that this IS a PDP/TMS symptom. It took me a few years to finally settle that realization into my brain. It’s like our brain literally argues with us and “challenges” us to convince IT that we’re OK. So I began the process to teach my brain as Dan said. If you’re a male, I would still strongly recommend to get the annual physical exams(including PSA), watch your diet, eat healthy, exercise but in my humble opinion our emotional wellbeing (or lack of) definitely is one of the main reasons for Prostatitis. If you happen to deal with it right now, do not lose hope. Consider implementing all the teachings from Dan’s videos and believe you will heal. The key is accepting it comes from our PDP/TMS as the root cause.
Wow, this is awesome!! Dan, I was in your group coaching last year for CFS. Taking your approach I got on with life despite the symptoms and saw massive improvements.
This year I herniated a disc and then developed chronic discomfort to the shoulder, followed by anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia and the return of severe cfs.
I just had a lightbulb moment during this video - all of the symptoms/diagnoses are a result of only one problem - a scared brain perceiving danger. It suddenly seems so obvious. For some reason I have to keep learning this lesson again and again and again. My brain has been slow to let go of it’s old thinking patterns.
More and more evidence for tms.
Thankyou!
I need to comment: If you ask medical doctors about the origin of any disease they really, really don´t know!!! They start to stutter around and often lament about genetics, which has long been refuted. However, I know three doctors who say quite clearly that illness is caused by inner conflicts, false belief systems, inner pressure and self-condemnation! And they did empirical studies, they asked patients about life conditions, life paths and events in complete contrast to the completely unscientific conventional medicine! So what is a "real" or "legitimate" disease?...... Maybe something that makes us profitable customers of the pharmaceutical companies.....?
Sounds like you believe a lot if conspiracies. Please don’t.
@@KJDogluv I believe in God!
@@KJDogluvsounds like you’re in denial. Please wake up.
You missed out long covid! I really LOVE this video. I've had ME for many years, I had a fall 3 years ago and,was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome. Then I got covid and didn't recover from that either. 3 syndromes. All feel exactly the same - I know it's Pdp. Score 14 in the Fit test. I'm determined to get better.
We always recover, the body repairs. It might not be A1 but. As we age quality of cells naturally deteriorate depending on what you're feeding it. Genetic stuff gets switched on by epi genetics. "Faulty" genes on their own are the main drivers in two or three diseases only. Read Bruce Liptons book.
Long COVID is what was previously known as post viral. So much fear is feeding everything. understandable seeing what the world's been through. The LV label was invented by pharma. Makes you wonder how much was caused by the injection.
We can all change.
14 of 19 on the FIT test is 10000% TMS/PDP. You are in the right place.
While I didn't mention Long Covid by name, many of the so-called long covid symptoms are in the list I went through. Long covid is not one symptom. It is a collection of symptoms, of which most, if not all are on this list.
Actual long Covid is a vascular/neurological disease that causes endothelial damage. It is not TMS. Anyone who thinks they have long Covid and healed using the TMS approach, didn’t have long Covid…they just believed they did. If they truly had long Covid, they’d have endothelial damage.
That makes perfect sense. Thanks for the explanation.@@PainFreeYou
I recently developed painful bladder syndrome / IC symptoms randomly after two traumatic medical procedures. Your videos have given me so much hope. Thank you thank you thank you. I have felt so alone the last 8 weeks.
I have a buzz in my left ear. I just live with it and generally ignore it. I call it my “white noise” when sleeping. While I have used some low key TMS strategies for 2 years it has not gone away. But if I’m relaxed about it and doesn’t really impact my life I’m not sure what to think. It did start after a long use of doxycycline for a suspected tick bite. No signs of Lyme. Right now I’m experiencing some lower digestion symptoms. I absolutely believe that is stress. I had something around Christmas which threw everything off so I’ve been worried and trying all sorts of things to get back in balance. Obsessed about it. Just this week I looked you up again, Dan, to see what you have to say. Bingo. I also have the gut brain book on order from my library. Trying to relax and keep away from some brain stressors that are no doubt causing this disruption and distraction. I may join your group. I’ll see how this initially goes. Thanks.
Even if it's not on the list...
I originally found you Dan because my teen daughter was going through bone cancer which is supposed to be one of the most painful kinds. We were looking for alternative ways to help bring the pain down in addition to the medical stuff.
Little did I know I'd need it too after she passed because the grief was so much that my body started acting out with a chronic illness they called long covid.
Anyway my point is your techniques significantly helped her with the pain in her final months and she even left me a note telling me similar things that you say that I think she must've gotten listening to you, things like embrace the pain because it hurts more and gets bigger if you run from it. So face it and go toward it and you'll see you are bigger than it.
So yeah this stuff might not CURE other things not on the list but it can sure make it a lot easier to get through crippling pain or symptoms.
My condolences for your loss. From what you describe I'm sure she was very strong! That's why I know you are too, keep going!!
So sorry for your terrible loss. ❤️
Holy cow!! There are so many from this list I have experienced, some I no longer affect me, there are quite a few that are lingering … it’s amazing when you hear the list 😳😳
I got skipped "pvc" heart palps when you were reading this list, another psychogenic symptom. I rotate through most of these.... Sarno's genius shining through you...👍
I struggle with heart palpitations. I’m not sure if he would consider them perceived danger as well. They scare the life out of me literally. I’ve had them for 5 years plus now and cannot lose the fear.
Hi Dan, love your perspective on brain and structural pain vs perceived danger pain. It took me years to find answers into my pain, and admittedly a long the way most doctors said it was in my head. Well they weren't wrong! I had a brain tumor and also a rare progressive neuro motor condition. While I may not be able to stop some of the pain and symptoms, just the knowledge of what to expect and what I was dealing with relieved anxiety and my symptoms lessened almost instantly because I could accept the current me. My only focus on life is to breathe through the pain and check in to see what truly might be exacerbating it. Finding your videos has just validated I'm on the right track. Thanks for sharing this information and being so tactful about conditions that do cause physical pain. It's such a balance to tune in and know what's going on!
Part of FND, PNES: Psychogenic Non-epileptic Seizures
Thanks Dan ❤ I had symptoms on my holiday but I still keep going out every day and had enjoyment in amongst the symptoms. The day I came back home all the symptoms ramped up. I know it’s TMS but worry my home also has mould as I can se it under my sink but my land lord says it’s not that bad so won’t do anything. So can’t help on top 😢
Fear of the mold is likely more of an issue than the mold. You can likely hire someone in to properly clean that up so you don't have to worry. Often we have worse symptoms at home because the brain has associated home as the place we have experienced the most symptoms. It may simply be a conditioned response. Teach your brain the home is not the problem.
@@PainFreeYou thank you!! 🙏
Anismus or dyssynergic defecation in my opinion is absolutely TMS / PDP. Pelvic floor pain and tightness plagued me for 2 years. And unfortunately dyssynergic defecation was my number 1 symptom. Two years of absolute darkness. I always felt that my thoughts were in some way causing it. But I had no idea what to do.
Finding Dan and his limitless content has given me my life back. I still have a tough day here and there but I know how to respond. I’ve been on vacation all week, a staycation at home…and it’s been wonderful. Hope really is the key…and hope is achieved by accurate knowledge and messages of safety. ❤. The journey continues. 💪🏻
Thank You, Dan, todays clarity is very helpful 🙂
You are so welcome
Hi Dan, I'm so grateful for your videos! I'd love to hear your thoughts on long covid if you're open to discussing it. I haven't experienced it myself but I've seen a few mindbody syndrome experts suggest that this could also be neuroplastic. To me it seems to meet all the criteria as well. Interested to hear your take on this!
I've been looking for something like this. Thank you.
Glad it helps.
Very good video and so reassuring thank you Dan, ive had FND and hypermobility thrown at me and ever since my brain has been going haywire with symptoms. I need to keep reminding myself that it’s just pdp.
If your symptoms went haywire after being told of medical labels, that is all the proof you need that your BRAIN is creating the symptoms.
The hypermobility and knowing its a connective tissue disprder scares me but i have to try your approach
Am I the only useless sod out there...that seems despite commitment....I'm getting absolutely nowhere at accepting symptoms....
Giving it my all to achieve anything...... I won't give in...but...my brain must be one strong force to reckon with....and persuade it that I'm safe....all is ok.....
I could get a degree on this subject.... I take on board everything that's suggested....😢😢😢🥺
Sometimes we try too hard. Have you watched and begun implementing my Fast Start playlist? DansFastStart.com
What you said in the very beginning - How symptoms behave - is sooo important! A friend of mine currently has issues with CFS like PEM after a really stressful life period and was terrified she had MS or something serious. I told her from the beginning that considering the emotional turbulences and how her symptoms behave - totally knocked out one day and perfectly fine the next - I would assume it's rather TMS. A neurologist confirmed. "We will do the MRI to rule out stuff but I am sure you are fine. If you are okay in a stressful situation and feel worse afterward, this clearly indicates a psychosocial condition. A broken engine doesn't keep up until you are off the highway, it gives up when you go all in."
Thank you Dan for all you do.❤❤❤❤
My symptoms are tinnitus, anxiousness, anxiety, skin sensitivity, random body pains, burning hot sensations, blurry vision, tightness of chest, shallow breathing and pins and needles.
I've experienced the same symptoms you mention. They have all been fear-induced.
Restless legs would fall under the brain perception.
Yes.
i would add psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) to this list, which are totally rooted in our psychology and not our physiology
Yea well.itsbclassed as fnd functional
Great! ...and how about rapid gastric emptying, aka Dumping Syndrome, particularly the rare, idiopathic "early dumping syndrome"?
Do the assessments. IsThisPDP.com
Hi Dan,
I have done an extensive amount of research on this topic due to a whiplash injury I received a year ago. While I totally embrace the conceptthat symptoms can be amplified by anxiety and fear and hence why I am pursuing a mind body approach to aid healing but it is well documented in the medicalliterature that ligaments and tendons are very slow to heal especially in an older person due to a poor blood supply and very often do not heal properly and some can be permanent. I received stem cells in these ligaments to give myself another chance at healing and many people have had success with this procedure but just wanted to provide some education on this topic.
Have you done the TMS assessments to see how your symptoms are behaving? How many of the FIT questions do you answer as true? IsThisTMS.com That is more important than the theory of poor healing due to age.
Sarno has talked about whiplash in The Mindbody Prescription book.
I believe I have had many TMS issues over the years that have resolved themselves and have had back pain over the years with bulging discs at 3 levels that seemingly came out of nowhere but no injury like this that has persisted for a year and causes 24/7 headaches and neck pain. I did do the FIT test and of course it had persisted and I didn’t mean to be misleading by saying that only older people’s ligaments don’t heal timely if at all with this condition because there are plenty of young people with the same condition which is craniocervical instability caused by the ligaments holding the head on the body being too loose which causes excessive movement between c1 and c2 vertebrae and can cause people to not even be able to lift their heads up once the muscles can no longer compensate for the stretched out ligaments that are not doing their job. But yes stress and fear can definitely make symptoms worse which is why I watch your posts every morning for some calm reassurance.
@@SonyaBritton-in4kh Aside from the pain, what evidence do you have of tissue damage from the whiplash injury? Pain is not proof of damage, yet it is absolutely proof the brain is perceiving danger. How many of the FIT questions did you answer as TRUE?
I've had Cfs for decades, I learned all this stuff 20 years ago and I've accepted it's a mind body thing but that wasn't enough to help me get any better
Knowing about TMS/mindbody is not the cure. Teaching the brain you are SAFE is the cure. Http://DansFastStart.com - watch, take notes, most importantly ---IMPLEMENT the messages of safety. Repeat until well.
Found out I have austism.adhd as causation as a baby I slept 23 hrs a day with heds these are the indicators or hp nervous system
Thank you, Dan. I recently found you and have been really struggling with these concepts. I have many physical conditions, some requiring surgery to resolve. I’ve been avoiding the surgery for years and my pain has been getting worse. The prospect, plus some other financial issues, have caused me to have EXTREME anxiety leading to new symptoms like many of the ones you listed. Anything you can suggest to help my brain accept and understand will be appreciated.
Avoid the surgery if possible depending on what it is. No doubt surgery can then have lifelong prescriptions too.
Yes, do the assessments - even on those conditions you are told need surgery. Then decide to accept the assessment. Do the work I spell out in: DansFastStart.com
Hi Dan, what about tingling, internal vibrations, tremors, burning skin and extreme screen sensitivity? Can this also be tms? Sorry for asking, but I think, seeking reasurance is also a typical sign of a scared brain. 😀
Thank you so much for your daily messages!
I'm sure, they help so may people in deep despair.🧡
I have tingling, internal tremors and twitching muscles too. Definitely PDP as they reduce when I'm feeling calm.
The answer is YES, but as mentioned - do the assessments. IsThisTMS.com
100% TMS and you'll see and feel why as you'll get better!
I have the internal buzzing as well, it’s anxiety
Anxiety is what I suffer from---so if I understand correctly--I talk to my brain to relieve this aweful feeling?? Plus I am mourning the death of my hubby in June, so depression as well ?? Is there someone here that relieved their anxiety this way??? Anyone???

@@PainFreeYouso what I understood in Matty’s story I need to work on the FEAR ? Also, to talk to my body , mind that I am feeling a certain emotion and that’s okay. Depression as well caused by brain perceiving danger. So far I don’t suffer with any body pains (and don’t want to). Anxiety, depression, brain fog and grief are enough. Thank you Dan, I hadn’t seen this success story, it snuck by me somehow so now, I put these tips into action, an interesting journey ahead of me. To be continued………………………..
Hey Dan, thanks so much for the video! Would love to know the Dr who stated all headaches are perceived danger pain? I completely agree as your videos have helped me heal from chronic migraine so thank you so much :)
Thank you Dan
Will the body heal if it is repeatedly insulted by consumption of sugars, toxins, oxelates and meds?
It's a combination of mind and nutrition.
We CAN eliminate TMS / Perceived Danger Pain without changing our diet. Food is not the cure for TMS. However Diet does matter. Eat decent foods and you will feel better overall.
If anyone is reading this, I no longer have CRPS! It will happen for you too. I still have some other milder tms and anxiety which is why I'm still here learning more.
TMS started for me 12 years ago or so. Back then I rushed out to doctors w every new thing., now I wait. And, I’ve had several on this list. My symptoms constantly shift around. I still struggle when a new symptom arises, even with the knowledge of TMS because it’s hard to discern if something is actually occurring that needs to be checked., Anyway, I’m having new symptoms this summer. But listening to this list blew my mind bc I’ve had at least half of these. For me, TMS is a shapeshifter, not just one chronic pain (like back pain for instance). Ty for your videos.
You're not alone for this. I had anxiety disorder first with frequent panic attacks and persistent symptoms of anxiety 24 7 I'm relieved only when I sleep..
It transformed to TMS after a back injury at the gym...in late 2018.
Since that injury..I only struggled with one side pain and tensness . It can be so tense that it gives me dizziness and unsteadiness
( sciatica alike pain..neck tension and back)
I’m sorry. It’s really tough to deal with! I hope you get relief
Another to add to the list-I’ve just found out dry eyes is big issue with stress and cortisol
❤😊 thank you very informative
I have a few of these
Tinnitus was exasperated when i was having deep emotional tension when i first hurt my back
Even though im still having back symptoms im more emotionally calmer and practice breath work my tinnitus isn't as loud. I can deal with it better.
Hello Dan, thank you for the video.
You did not mention symptoms such as rashes, hives, red-marks, blocked nose, sinusitis, allergies (mcs, mcas)....
Can these also be caused by PDP/TMS especially if you have other symptoms such as back pain, dizziness, stomache ache, acid reflux and so on?
Kind Regards,
Lukas Fridell
Thank you!
I have severe Dysautonomia after a run with Covid and difficulties with a special needs son. My sweating and heart rate is out of control at times. The sweating is so bad it looks like I’ve been blasted with a garden hose. Keeps me from going out in any temp over 65 degrees. I’ve had fibro long as I can remember 50 years at least. Anyone else? Lucky the pain I usually have with a flare has not joined this new symptom. Does this join the list?
Also depersonalization/derealization
yes, that too. In my view that falls under the umbrella of anxiety.
Hi Dan, I have a few questions: I have Multiple Sclerosis and I am pretty sure I also developed TMS/PDP. I do not know which one came first. Watching this video, I sounds to me as if you think TMS can cause diseases of the immune system too.
First question: what’s your opinion on MS?
Second question: how do I know which problem is caused by MS and which by TMS? I’ve been using your methods and some other’s (like Alan Gordon) for over a year now, but I am still struggling 😕
Please add visual snow syndrome and hallucinogenic persistent perceptual disorder to your list.
Dan you say anxiety is a symptom. I have folks that have obsessive compulsive tendencies. What about Bipolar or manic depression? I know there is no downside to learning this but I wish we had a success story with these symptoms. They just can’t believe it would work for them.
Anxiety is much different than BiPolar or manic depression. I don't claim that my safety approach will resolve all mental health issues. And since I don't promote this work for those severe mental health conditions, it is unlikely I will come across success stories. Regardless of that, feeling safer SHOULD help most physical and mental conditions. There is zero downside. Only benefit.
Hi Dan, thank you for your videos!
Just a quick question, does diet play a role in any of this?
Hey Dan, what do l do when my body perceives sleep as danger. I am mostly fine during the day but once l go to sleep ,bam l am woken continually through the night with intense pain that stops me from getting much sleep, and even when l do, very superficially. This has been going on for years now. Bad insomnia for 40 years and for about the last 10, when l do get to sleep, the pain starts…
Chronic dry eye sensation? No dry eyes detected by eye dr but pain is fierce
@PainFreeYou Hey Dan, the videos about 24/7 digestive systems helped a lot. I wonder if you had any video recommendations you could point me towards chronic painful flushing in the face and dry skin being TMS. Thank you.
What about high blood pressure?
Thanks for your time and great information
Would you please discuss OCD?
Also, how do feel about supplements?
Appreciate you.
What would your advice be for someone studying to get into the medical field? It is tough because I truly want to help people but a lot of the conditions I am studying is just perceived danger and false information..
Hi Dan! I’ve been following your videos as of recently and was finding comfort in the thought of my symptom being TMS. Recently I’ve been doubtful because I never see my symptom talked about. I know getting lost in the symptoms defeats the point of being successful on healing from TMS, but even after taking the assessments, I still find myself worrying that what i have is not TMS. Story short, I had gotten sick in November of last year and noticed that I had a burning, heavy upper chest pain that eventually settled in my lower chest one day (right in the core area) while scanning papers at my job. I had seen a series of doctors for it, don’t respond to NSAIDS or steroids, gotten all of the tests necessary to rule out something serious and did physical therapy for 5 months. During physical therapy there was a session where the therapist had pushed my chest into a mat firmly while doing an exercise and about 3 days later the symptoms noticeably worsened (I have been clinging onto this as the reason for my continued pain). I had seen the doctor again with no explanation of what has been going on. I made the mistake of googling my symptoms and got wrapped in diagnoses like costochondritis and slipped rib syndrome. I was confronted with information about rib joints locking up and causing chronic pain for years if it’s not resolved, needing surgery, that damaged rib cartilage doesn’t heal, and that these conditions don’t show up on imaging/varying information about responses to treatment. I’m not tender in my lower chest but always seem to hurt with a heavy ache. It makes sitting, standing, and even laying down uncomfortable at times. I notice some days are better than others, but never 100%. I’m worried because I start graduate school at the end of the month and miss the endurance I had last year. Sorry for the long winded comment, seeing the list of likely symptoms/conditions of TMS without my “symptoms” listed made me wonder if healing TMS is the course I need to take. I’ve been feeling alone in my symptoms despite my assessment results. Thank you!!
I cannot cover every possible symptom or scenario. However, I did say that you should take the TMS assessments to see if your symptoms are behaving like TMS. From your explanation, you ARE in the right place. You do not need to hear of another person just like you to get better. If the assessments indicate TMS, then that is what it is. Accept it and begin to teach your scared brain that you are not broken. My fast start playlist will show you the way. Watch over and over again. Take notes. Implement. Repeat. DansFastStart.com
@@PainFreeYou Thank you Dan!! Fear is the only thing in my way. I’ll give the playlist a watch
What about constipation?
Digestive issues are very often a stress related issue. Search youtube for "pain free you digestion" to see my videos on the topic.
Dan can you please touch on skin and possible hair disorders in relation to TMS? Can these disorders also fall under TMS?
Is this true for long covid as well it’s TMS as it should have healed?
There are more and more "long covid" success stories each day. I have a few on my channel already. PainFreeYouSuccess.com
My belief: I think MOST long covid symptoms are coming from a brain perceiving danger. Thus, it's not a viral thing. It's a fear thing. (Conscious and definitely subconscious) That's why a mindbody approach and teaching the brain you are not sick resolves symptoms.
What about renauads syndrome chillblains etc. Covid toe
Hi Dan, I really appreciate your videos!! I have been brain rewiring for 6 months, and now have some new symptoms with my feet being sore, tingly and swelling a bit. I am pre-diabetic. Can this be helped?
Tinnitus- I have incredibly catastrophic clicking, ticking, hissing, crackling. I have bruxism & ear pain. I also have hyperacusis. I can’t function anymore… 32 years old nobody can help me what do I do
Dan I am sorry to bother you. I am new to this space and have a question, your work , Sarnos work, Nicole Sachs and many more use the word pain very frequently and I am curious for someone like me I am pain free my issues are more neurological , anxiety, stress type of feelings that cause dizziness, eye perceptions issues and so on. I also have ruled out any major medical issue so that is scratched off but does your work also help with the type of stuff that I am suffering from that is not pain related at all?
Yes! Take the pain test. He also mentioned most of these in the video !! 🙏🏻☺️
Look up Dr Yonite Arthur, she's an Audiologist that has a program for this. Dan also did an interview with her
I have IC, insomnia and chronic neck/back pain. What is the solution?
I was thinking about something that seems to be reverse of the polyvagal theory, that has happened in my life for decades. It could be back in high school, college, or work life, but whenever the Christmas breaks arrives, I get sick and unwell when I ''relax'', or maybe I don't? :) It seems to be backwards of saying that immune functions gets better when we relax and get into rest and digest mode, but it's at this moment that I get sick. Maybe this feeling of being sick is actually a result of the immune system doing its job, maybe it's all TMS. I don't know for sure, but from what I now understands, I had a very small amount of CFS since childhood, until I got long covid (another form of TMS) in January 2021.
How about Long Covid?
Yes - definitely. We have several long covid success stories. Scroll through here to find them. PainFreeYouSuccess.com
What about ONE SIDED SYMPTOMS..sciatica alike pain runs from right neck to calf ankles..
lol imagine if he didn’t label fibro or cfs,, all of us will be having panic attacks lol
Panic attacks are TMS / driven by a brain perceiving danger too. LOL

You did forget Sarnos undiagnosed chest pain ! I really hope you make a video on this one, it would completely resolve it for me
@@ezza1236 I didn't forget. I acknowledge that this is not an exhaustive list. The way for YOU to figure out YOUR chest pain is to do the assessments. That is how you completely resolve this issue for yourself. A video on this topic will just be a reiteration of the core concepts that apply to all persistent pain. The location on the body does not matter. If it's TMS, then it's TMS. IsThisTMS.com How many of the FIT assessment questions do you answer as true?
@@PainFreeYou thanks Dan, I don’t freak out as much best I have had this on and off 3 years and I haven’t died yet, the intensity changes from notthing to severe depending on what I do with intensity or activities, a real issue dosent work like that, you don’t have chest pain severely one week and not the next, makes no sense
@@ezza1236 it makes complete sense as perceived danger pain. As a structural problem, it makes no sense.

Hi there, what are your thoughts on localized inflammation in the body? Could this also be PDP? My inner nostrils randomly got really inflamed and swollen to the point of bleeding daily but there was no infection according to tests. Doc is suspecting autoimmune vasculitis and wants me to get tested but this all seems really random to me since I was perfectly fine /healthy prior to that. I know that I was really stressed out/depressed just before it all started and I have a previous history of panic attacks/anxiety so I wanted to know your thoughts in this.
I should also mention that I have headaches /pains along with these symptoms and anxiety that this is all happening in the first place
Brain fog, poor memory
So.not all heds is mindbody pain
Insomnia from benzo can that be a sxs of tms
Frozen Shoulder??
I’ve had “long covid”/ some sort of dysautonomia for 2 years.. I’ve had all sorts of symptoms.. how do you know you’ve done enough testing ? Is it just the main standard testing?. This always confuses me. I’m honestly tired of all the testing and just want to accept it’s tms and move on but idk if the testing I’ve gotten is enough. Advice please. 🙏🏻♥️
What about phantom smells caused by an increased sense of smell due to fight or flight? This is one of my strangest symptoms…
Can allergic reactions be TMS? I’ve been very dysregulated for quite awhile due to tapering off benzodiazapine x, and the other day my wedding ring is creating red, raised, painful, possible allergic reaction.
It’s crazy! Could this be TMS? If so, then what about mold? Certain foods?
Is it more likely to have tms the more symptoms you have from the list?
Yes - and doing the assessments for EACH symptom can confirm it. You are in the right place.
And is it possible to have lots of the sensations from this list at the same time?
@@DaniEla-of4eo Yes, the more fear / perceived danger - the more symptoms you can have. It's all caused by the same thing and all have the same solution. safety. DansFastStart.com - maps it out.
Hello Dan
I’m new to your videos and this “ TMS “ you keep talking about I was just wondering what those letters stand for exactly. And how do they mean “ brain perceiving
danger or Mind Body perception “ ? I looked them up on the Internet they seem to stand for.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, a noninvasive procedure
Maybe it’s me but I’m a little confused. I must have missed something
Please let me know
I do enjoy your videos
Thank You

The mind Body Syndrome
I started going back to the gym last January and I had a lot of starts and stops so I did not get in shape and lose weight in 2 months as planned but it did happen eventually after six or seven months - so there was progress even though it was slow - I have thinned down but I still have the bloated belly but it's okay because I am physically stronger and I can continue on and get in even better shape because I have reached a better level of strength and lost some inches. Now it is much easier to continue and improve to the next level because I have experienced some results. I notice people on the beach who are in their 50s 60s maybe of normal weight but they all have that bloated belly so I wondering what it is all about. How do we get rid of that bloated belly as it is not fat.
Hey Dan
Your thoughts on chronic cough when doctors can’t identify the cause nor cure it ?
Am besten Atemübungen nach Buteyko. Vielleicht chronische Hyperventilation und dadurch falsche Atemmuster. Atemübungen beruhigen zudem das Nervensystem.
MCAS too?
Headaches being my number one, I know that it’s mindbody. I’ve had you tell me that I’ve had plenty of others in this field tell me this yet my anxiety switched on at a higher level then I’ve ever had and I have a hard time calming my thoughts of hopelessness and feeling stuck. I feel like it’s Groundhog Day every day. I’ll get a couple days where it’s a little better and then just back to it. It’s 100% because I can’t calm my mind and fear. Which I don’t get bc logically I know this is it
Same boat :)

This guy helps me to get out of fight/flight. Sometimes I do them several times.
tinnitus
It's in the list. Yes, you can eliminate it.
Corhns or colitis?
What about MCAS?
I don't want to irritate you by asking this question, but what about a diagnosis of severe hip arthritis. I've done the assessments and it appears to be TMS. I thought I'd read where "severe" is not TMS. Thank you.
If the pain behaves like TMS then the pain is coming from the brain, not the arthritis. What did you score on the assessments?
@@PainFreeYou I scored a 44 on pain test and 2 on FIT test. Thanks for your reply.
@@wr9418 definitely TMS. You are in the right place.
I have pinching 🤏 sensation all over my body…, tingling, elecricity shock…and burning mouth
