What Are You Feeding Your Symptoms? 

I hear you esp. on Fibro groups. When I first moved to the big city after my divorce, went through much fear, depression and anxiety etc. Some Doc said I had something called Fibromyalgia and handed me gobs of medical articles on it which only made me more fearful as I was already a mess from a number of traumas. I found a group on it and since I was all alone in a big city thought the interaction would help--NOT! All the women talked about was how it would only get worse but the buffet was good each time :) So I stopped going and went to my PCP who told me it was a wastebasket diagnosis and I may never have had it anyway--who knows. Then found out that Doc who told me I had it was in cahoots with a PT and sent alot of business their way--and this was told to me by another Doc I did trust and know. Long story short--stop reading or googling about all the stuff--it does make it worse esp. if you are prone to take it to heart and the fear alarm will go off and ruin your day or evening. I still do at times but am getting better.

Your story is all too common. You are in the right place now. A good place to begin or for a refresher is: www.PainFreeYou.com/start

Yes, absolutely.

It's all about perceived danger. You are on the right path.

Thank you Riccardo. I appreciate it.

That's the plan! Been doing them for just under 4 years. No plan of stopping.

Any time

Glad you like it!

I appreciate you!!!

You are welcome.

My pleasure!

Yes, emotions are contagious. Surround yourself with those experiencing the emotions and life you want.

One step at a time, you've got this. Well done 👍

The body is surprisingly strong and resilient. Like PB says - one step at a time. Baby steps. The body will get stronger and stronger. And I would encourage you to stop telling yourself the story of how weak your body has become. You may have lost some muscle strength, but it's likely not nearly as bad as you think.

W.B I was actually basically bedbound back 25 years ago, that lasted for seven years! Do you know that my body regained its strength, and I in a short period of time was able to walk 6 miles a day, I got my life back. And this last issue I’ve had for the past couple of years is markedly better, I am back walking on my treadmill, and living life, engaging in life, you can do this. Baby steps at the beginning, and sweet talk to yourself that you are not broken. My very best to you!

@@cindybrown1356 Thank you for sharing your experience Cindy. Awesome.

I definitely over feel the "pain" if I exercise . You are doing great, don't beat yourself up.

@@1STBUCKLEY thanks- I needed your encouragement ❤

I struggle with this. Every time I do a little more exercise, symptoms pop up. I have to remind myself I’m ok and this will pass and it does

This is the post where I speak about delayed reaction pain or symptoms. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sHvM_PNfvto.html

Safety will help with the hypervigilance too.

I cant let go of the frustration. It’s exhausting especially when it’s quite or nightime

Frustration is fear.

It still falls in the same category as fear. Make a decision that you won't be frustrated anymore. Self compassion. Self kindness. Calm reassurance. The solution is the same.

My symptoms are all nervous system problems. Neuropathy..numbness..heaviness..stiffness..pain. Doctors say they cant find anything structurally wrong or on my blood work. I believe mine is totally MindBody..Fear and anxiety. 😊

PN is a common medical label given to mindbody syndrome. It fits perfectly well in the "perceived danger" understanding. Especially idiopathic. You are on the right path. Get started here: www.PainFreeYou.com/start There is zero downside to this approach, only benefit.
