This is SO true: I suffer from specifically health anxiety that manifest only if I have any unusual torso symptoms. It caused chest pain, almost constant irregular heartbeats and I was convinced I was dying untill I understood that I was causing the symptoms. Course I still work on it 😁 mine started when I was 4 and was ill - I'm 63 now and I look back at all the ECGs I've had and I feel sorry for my younger self not knowing any better. Our brains are so powerful.
I’m better, but still not great. Had severe insomnia, sleep anxiety x 13 years. Relearning not to fear being awake. Making progress. Years of lack of sleep have caused major muscle stiffness/soreness, which resulted in plantar fasciitis, then chronic back pain. I’m caught in that loop. The chronic pain helped to decrease the hyperarousal around sleep, but I’m still not getting restorative sleep so I awake with stiffness, pain, fatigue. Background that I believe is healed, was definitely anxiety/fear. -severe depression -complex PTSD -narcissistic abuse -sjogrens syndrome, lupus, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia -lack of boundaries, people pleasing, perfectionism, codependency -fear, fear, fear
Do you listen to Thought by Thought Healing? On RU-vid and podcasts. She's been extremely helpful for me and in fact, that's how I ended up here; she interviewed him on her channel. The journey to wellness is not as difficult as I once thought. It's people who have gone through what you or I have gone through - who are leading us OUT of pain/sickness! Thank God
Awesome channel, Jim. Really great content. I hope to do some 1-on-1 with you in the new year. Quick question. What if you get physical symptoms beyond pain, such as knots, fibrous muscles, clicking / popping, tension/tightness and areas locking up and restricting movement, like shoulder / neck when flared up? How does the mind create these physical complaints? It's been going on for 10 years, so it's not injury, would have cleared up by now.
I too have feet numbness and sometimes burn sometimes sensitive. Began mild after covid. Would go away but now 2.5 yrs later waaaay worse. Wife had heart surgery then father died at 97. Im 70! Fit no meds no conditions
@@tominnc315 Jen Johnson had foot pain so badly that she was not able to walk. This was one of many of her symptoms. She was healed and now teaches on RU-vid. She interviewed Jim, that's how I ended up here. But, to respond to your specific question, I recommend looking up Thought by Thought Healing on RU-vid. Wishing you and your wife all the best.
Can a chronic stiff neck for over a year with no structural damage be TMS. Pain is from pulling it as its so tight. Now shoulders and back too are chronically tight which is causing back spasms just from random movement's
Stress may be causing the muscles to tighten, which in turn is causing tightness in shoulders and back. I’ve had similar issues with tight calves, which impact the ankle, feet, and hamstrings.
@@darrelnantais8174 gentle, consistent stretching and mobility. Strengthening the opposite muscles. Lots of rest. And the expectation and understanding that the mind and body are profoundly connected .
