Once You Know It's TMS...

Once you know it's TMS, here is what I strongly suggest.

Any score over a 30 can be eliminated with the approach I teach in my daily videos.

Once I discovered it was TMS and not fibromyalgia a huge sigh of relief came over me. It gave me hope that yes I can heal from this, in fact nothing is wrong with me, finally got that answer to all my symptoms! 😊🙏🏽✨

I fell off a roof 30 years ago. Compression fracture L3-4. Pain relieved by Advil. Healed in three months wearing a brace. Nothing compared to the acute onset of back pain from TMS like Dan is describing. TMS pain is way more incapacitating. I think it’s the fear component. It becomes a physical manifestation of all your stress, anxiety. Too much Sh!T is right.

Love your cat Finn Dan. He lays there without a care in the world.😊

Hi Fin beautiful cat 🐾☺️ . Have a lovely weekend Dan ☺️

Wow that's some list. 13years ago did a major traumatic house move, big family disharmony, marital issues then my shoulder went big time. Diagnosed (labelled frozen shoulder/rotator cuff blah blah)! And my health declined further, IBS joint pain, tendinitis. Didn't know about TMS then. Another house move, different symptoms/ labels. A year ago had a fall did my ribs damage and somehow 3months after that fall my other shoulder froze, same label, no scans cos of covid. Then I found Dan Buglio. Getting my head around TMS as being a real thing wasn't hard. I knew deep down that there was no way my body could have so many things supposedly wrong with it at different times of the day. I'm still a work in progress but getting there. Crappy nights sleep n major headache, dizzy etc (but I know there's still stuff I'm not dealing with) made myself leave the house n do a short walk. Had a cry in the car but I know I'm winning. Thank you again. Just went on PPD site 29/30 on one part and score of 26 ! Feck

Thank you for talking through the exercise piece again. I have taken to stop being so serious during workouts because I’m waiting to hurt. Trying to keep it light and realize that I’m enjoying the opportunity to move my body. 👏🏽

Thanks for the daily videos Dan! You have helped me immensely. Love seeing Finn and having him sit in on the talk but I have a soft spot for black cats having a big boy of my own. He helps with TMS daily. 🐱

You're my hero Dan! Thanks for mentioning Pudendal Neuralgia. It makes me cry, so i know the fear for that is still in my mind

[jreverie]

Thanks for making this Dan, this video resonated a lot more to me than others :) I've always been confused by the whole "get it checked out first" part Dr Sarno would talk about, as I did get some fairly loose diagnosis's (cubital tunnel syndrome causing arm pain in both arms, upper back and neck being all affected) and a low back herniated disc (didn't appear to be pressing on nerves or the spinal cord, but have sciatica in both legs that comes and goes) so I thought due to being "diagnosed" it may not be TMS, but I can see now after this video that some diagnosis's could be TMS.

I've noticed after this video I have been listening to your videos for a year or two (and reading many tms books) but I was only half or partly committing to a tms approach (I was still thinking there must be something physically wrong to a point, going to chiros, osteos, acupuncture etc) and you can't really play both angles.

Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks for all of the videos you create, if it wasn't for them I would be in bed most days rather than trying to enjoy activities I used to. Very motivating stuff and they sure help with giving a sense of hope of returning to some level of normality.

Edit: also, cool pain test! I scored 36/50

Trying to wrap my head around non-pain issues like my allergy issue that has me sneezing and miserable. Sarno has said its an emotional reaction and Im trying to approach it as a TMS issue. Finding it a lot harder than getting rid of my back and shoulder pain that was clearly TMS and dissipated as soon as I found out it was TMS. Pain is easier to understand as TMS but allergy is a tough one.

Thanks Dan 🙏 Lovely to see Finn a lucky black cat 🐈‍⬛ Has he a little wound over his left eye 👁?

[charlottetrendell]

Thanks dan for this video. In the early hrs of this morn i got severe pain across the middle of my back to the point I couldn’t move without being in agony. I had to lay straight on the floor cos any movement would be horrendous. I did panic. But then i tried to tell myself its just tms. There’s no reason for this pain. I did go swimming last nite after a difficult day at work so i was like maybe i strained it swimming cos i was stressed. But then like you say why did it not hit me till 3am?!

We are often told by pt’s “oh you’ll feel that tomorrow” or doms. So i guess that feeds into the belief of it being from exercise. I still have shoulder pain which came after exercising in my tiny hallway during the beginning of first covid lockdown 2020. Or so I believed. Could of also been losing my job and being given no gov’t financial support.

I think exercise and picking up running injurys etc is very hard to challenge for myself. I did do some self talk and somatic work to be able to move my back today. But ive had to cancel my swim this eve cos of the pain and being so exhausted x

Hi Dan, thank you so much!
Question: if arthritis is included in this list, why is it that people with let's say hip arthritis can get hip surgery and immediately feel and function all better? Could they have likely done that without the surgery? Is the surgery a placebo that changes the brain pattern?

[elaineremains]

but but, i'm getting better, but i haven't been really able to sleep in bed for years, it feels like a danger, so my pain acts up and i try to be indifferent, and say 'i'm safe' but it doesn't stop the pain, i know it's TMS, but what good does knowing it do me in that situation? if i manage to get to sleep then i get slammed with anxiety and it wakes me up, and i give up on bed

[shifrahendrie]

Have you found that people can function pain free and normally almost regardless of what their structural situation is?

[karibarber]

Dan you have helped my husband in a life changing way. He seems to be doing everything “right” and we have seen progress. Not fast enough of course hahaha but progress. However I wonder if he is paying to much attention to his symptoms and his brain…it consumes our conversations. No matter what I start talking about, he relates it back to his symptoms or his brain. There is no doubt his symptoms (pain and weakness being the main ones, are due to his brain and not physical. No doubt. He is indifferent by going to work and doing as much as he can with what little strength he has but do you think relating it to everything is harmful? (Aka keeping the symptoms present)

[akapatience]

I haven't watched any videos in a bit because I'm happy to say that I'm well on my way to healing...I'm walking now after 5.5 years of CRPS in my left foot and I know I'll be able to manage my other symptoms that linger, (not naming them 😉)
I'm glad I listened today to hear the 2 resources you mentioned! I have friends who suffer daily from chronic illnesses and I'm trying to navigate my efforts to show them how they can heal as well.
One friend has Lupus and has blood work done regularly and often mentions her #'s aren't good. I looked up Lupus and the symptoms certainly seem like TMS. I went to the PPD site you recommended but it doesn't show up there. Any thoughts about Lupus?

Hi, I’m new on here. What does TMS stand for please? Thank you

[joymatisapam]

I believe i had tms.but when my pain flares up due to sitting which subsides when i lie on bed, i doubt if i had something structurally wrong with me.the thing is the longer i sit, the more painful it is n bcoz of pain while sitting, i had to stop doing normal activities like reading or watching tv becoz that activity triggers pain.how am i going to handle with this pain?will visualising sitting comfortably without pain help?

[robertasmith]

I no longer use the word fibromyalgia (oops sorry 😁) it’s a stupid made up name for something the doctors know nothing about anyway. Like Raj I was very happy when I discovered it was TMS, something I could deal with.
