Ive suffered a year with all over nerve pain, entire body, head to toe, worse than prudendal. Taking my life was a daily temptation. Came across Alan Gordons podcasts and Dr Sarnos book. Decided 100% this back pain method could be applied to my nerve pain. Slowly over 2 months I seen bits of hope, last week I had 2 days in a row it was completely gone. Thats a miracle. Getting better everyday. Anyone else suffering nerve pain, you will get better, there is hope. Thanks for your channel Dan!
@Joseph Wehrwein I have full body burning nerve pain. Can you please tell me how you calmed your nervous system down to heal???? Thank you so much! God bless you. 🙏🏽♥️
Wow me too, unfortunately mine hasn’t gone doing the work yet but you gave me hope as I’ve never seen anyone else with full body all over constant nerve pain in the tms community. Thank you, glad you’re healed!
I am a reired neurologist with TMS. I had feet pain since being discharged from Army 15 years ago, 5 years ago I was moving around home in a rolling chair unable to walk, bilateral feet surgeries and seeing many physicians unable to diagnose the problem I have concluded it is TMS. Now I am back jogging at 72 years of age, and continuing to improve. Thank you for your helping those of us with TMS.
What a fantastic story. If you would ever like to share your story in a video interview for me to share with my audience, let me know. TalkWithDan.com to get on my calendar.
Hi I just saw your post on Dans site speaking about your recovery from neuropathy. I have been working with my neurologist for over 15 years. She’s tried all of the meds on me anti-seizures you name it. Nothing works. After seven years we tried some pain meds most didn’t work I got some mild relief from one of them but of course that stopped working, the brand I liked went out of business. I developed a very bad long-term flu similar to Covid in the 90s turned into Krono fatigue syndrome interstitial cystitis fibromyalgia. I went to a holistic dentist who claimed if he took out an old root canal tooth and cavitated the bone, Meaning take the infection out it would cure all my conditions. I had tried everything so I went ahead after a lot of research. It was a long struggle to get my tooth out having to break it into various pieces, he said there was no infection but he cavitated the bone anyway because I paid for it. When he was done, I was numb, he put a shot way inside the area And I jumped out of my chair I said what did you just do. It was so painful even though I was full of anesthesia, he explained he put a shot deep inside to reduce infection. He then went on vacation. I was not worried though my gut said it was the wrong approach I did it because my brain said it was the right approach. I woke up in the most horrendous pain and this is someone who has experienced severe burning neuralgia vulvodynia IC etc. Nothing hold a candle to the pain I woke up to. His partner was in a panic sent me Vicodin didn’t touch the pain, told me two take two didn’t touch the pain.Wanted me to come in but it was an hour and a half away and I just couldn’t. Eventually I went back with my Dentist was back in town he wasn’t gone long, and he said you know you must have something wrong with your Mylan sheath, You are one in 1 million who developed trigeminal neuralgia I x-rayed it there’s nothing to see but this is what sometimes happens the nerve gets damaged, He said in retrospect seeing how sick you were I probably shouldn’t have done the surgery but what’s done is done you will have to be on major pain meds the rest of your life. I did not accept that and went many many many years with severe pain until I had a nervous break down no pain meds. That was in 2003 and I still have the pain. My neurologist is retiring don’t know if I can find anyone who will treat me with compassion as she did. But as a neurologist I am curious do you feel 20 years of trigeminal neuralgia can be cured? Do you think this could be TMS. I called down 80% of the rest of my symptoms that had to do with the pelvic area by ignoring it getting off all of yahoo support groups there was no UA-cam. But this one I didThe same which is why I never found TMS, and nothing helped. As a neurologist I am wondering what your thoughts are. I am open to anything I’m not looking for a specific answer just what your thoughts are. Or if you have ever experienced this with your patience. I cannot tolerate elavil,As I still suffer from severe constipation and they make me so ill those types of meds. Don’t know if you’ll see this but if you do I would love to hear your thought on long-term type to trigeminal neuralgia that has constant and TMS. I’m new at this and just investigating, I really want to believe it but it’s hard after 20 years. So glad you are better And living your life. Hope to hear from you thank you so much.
Gotta share some humor: My TMS pain started as constant pelvic pain and because I was embarrassed to tell people that it was a pelvic (supposedly neurological) problem, I always refered to it as back pain. So after several years, my silly brain mostly changed the pelvic pain to back pain and also pain in other 'socially acceptable' areas. My brain gave me exactly what I told it I wanted. 😆
You're Godsent! Thank you so much for this. I 100% feel what you said... "this cant be me as its not Back pain or neck pain or etc". So all I look for is success stories of people that have what I do and managed to get better. Ive been considering ur therapy session but I'm unemployed due to the pain (and other issues) and living in Portugal my government isn't giving me any compensation due things being a mess with covid... so I'm in a stupid position that I need to work to have money to treat my pain and I have to treat my pain to get the ability to work. Meanwhile I've been loving watching your videos everyday. It helps giving me courage and hope. Like I said, people with TMS are definitely the best kinds of people.
Hey Abigail. Just know that many are getting well simply by implementing the concepts in my daily videos. This one in particular summarizes my concepts. ua-cam.com/video/3vJgBnrhFt8/v-deo.html
This one really hit home for me Dan! Thank you for this one. For the past year my latest symptom has been numbness and burning in my feet and upper buttocks. I've just been calling it low back pain because people look at me like I'm making it up when I say my buttocks is numb. I've been journaling for just over a month now and watching your videos. Thank you for putting these out there. I am going to get better!
I've been suffering from pelvic and groin pain for the last two years after an injury. I've had every scan, blood tests, nerve blockers, nerve zapping procedures done and the pain still persist. I've seen lots of your videos Dan and this one really spoke to me it was like you made just for me. GREAT WORK!!!
Glad you liked the video. The reason none of the treatments to your body haven't worked is because your brain is keeping the pain going. We need to teach the brain to turn off the pain because the injury from two years ago has healed long long ago. ua-cam.com/video/3vJgBnrhFt8/v-deo.html
I was Diagnosed with glossopharyngeal neuralgia caused by a physical event in December 2019. Been to all sorts of doctors. MRIs, MRAs, Physical Therapy, Dr Google, constant stressing. Just subscribed to this channel. So far I’m liking what I see and hear. I look forward to watching more. Thank you.
When you experience symptoms persistently, the brain "learns" something is wrong and will keep symptoms going even though that physical event happened years ago and any injury from that event healed LONG ago. You are in the right place.
hi! a fisio madz a violent adjustment on me and i have glossopharyngal neuralgia ever since...it s burning ti speak! worse thing for me as i had to stop my teaching job! Are you feeling any better? i hope so! God bless you!
I was never diagnosed for GPN, but I have symptoms that are aligned with GPN but mine are not excruciating shocks … just a little zap in the tonsil area left side here and there … But it comes and goes
Hey Dan, I want to thank you for all your content and video’s. This video made me till tears ‘cause although I know I have TMS now, for a long time I thought my pain was to painful and to specific to be TMS. i have nerve and pelvic pain. Thank you for this ❤️
Everything you said made sense and totally rung true for me! I’m now in recovery, still some fear to work on but I’m getting there. Thank you for your free videos 😊
This just popped up on my feed. I’ve been watching your videos for about 6 months and didn’t see this one. I’ve been having burning mouth and neuropathy for awhile. Every test comes up negative. I know this is TMS now. So glad I watched it.
Here's how to get started with my approach: Foundational Information: Watch the video at: PainFreeYou.com Take the pain test: DanBuglio.com/paintest - a score over 29 means you have TMS / Perceived Danger Pain Watch the video about Perceived Danger Pain: ua-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/v-deo.html Now you know what is causing pain. Next step is moving towards how to TEACH the brain to turn it off. Since perceived danger is what turns pain on, teaching safety is the solution. ua-cam.com/video/5SsKnAgAvnY/v-deo.html Getting more help: Individual coaching: DanBuglio.com/coaching - I am booked solid for approximately 4-6 weeks in advance. Group Coaching and Course: PainFreeYou.com/join - you can begin this any time. The course will be available instantly and the next weekly group coaching is no farther away than the upcoming Wednesday. At minimum, watch my free daily coaching videos at DansUA-cam.com. A new video posts daily at 5am NYC Time zone. Many are getting better implementing the concepts taught in my free videos. ua-cam.com/users/PainFreeYouvideos
Can you advise me please. I have tmj and get a burning sensation on the side of my nose and pressure on my eyebrow. I'm so scared it's becoming tn I can't get past it
I wish you could work with kelsey darragh. She is a comidan and is well known on u tube. She has trigeminal neuralgia and has documented her journey trying so many different treatments. Imagine if you two worked together and she got better it would be amazing and would give hope to so many
More videos with cat cameos! One of the things I do to calm down and tell my brain I’m safe is petting and snuggling with my cat. I call it cat therapy.
This video popped up this morning as I was going to watch your current one.. I was meant to see this one, it seems I’m meant to see the ALL, really! I have had Trigeminal nerve pain from having shingles on my scalp and down the side of my face…also when I first went into menopause I got sever burning mouth syndrome. The way I processed it all was in total paralyzing fear, I would get so anxious thinking the very worst scenarios. The odd thing, my family and many friends, always seem to gravitate toward me though to be calmed down and reassured about their physical/emotional issues. And here I was, with no tools to handle my own issues. I’ve shared with you about having chronic fatigue syndrome relapse, I simply once again cannot thank you enough for valuable help you are so freely giving us. Already I am able to call myself down from back pain, or headaches that come along. I just wish I had known sooner, now I am able to except this chronic fatigue syndrome, yet at the same time I know in my heart, that I am going to recover from this fully, totally - I don’t know when, but it’s going to happen. I appreciate you Dan, and the amazing work that Dr. Sarno left for us…BTW, there’s nothing like a faithful black cat…just two weeks ago my 19 year old Bailey girl crossed rainbow bridge.
Great advice Dan .. one of your best I have listened too.. 👍 Love your beautiful cat Finn 🐈⬛ I reckon people who love animals are really good and kind.. you are one of them ☺️
That's interesting, thanks for sharing. I came across your videos as I was doing research on Dr Sarno's book, after countless visits to the GP and neurologists to deal with my neuropathy. You've put your finger on a lot of concepts (comparing pain, feeling misunderstood, shame) I couldn't really explain before. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Oh man nerve pain has stopped me from sleeping the past three nights and kept me in bed, I feel so nauseated with it. Nerve pain is very tiring. Sciatic pain down both legs into my feet, Neuropathic pain and CRPS….. I have three black cats like yours and I love that purring sound, this is something I find very soothing and comforting when I’m Having the more distressing days, I also got a puppy a couple of years ago as a companion dog who has helped brighten my days. She is my constant companion, who gives me so much joy everyday, she help with distraction. Yes the pain cycle. Distraction and acceptance x
I'm sorry you are struggling. Have you gone through the materials on my getting started page? www.PainFreeYou.com/start This will help you get a deep understanding of what causes the pain, determining if that's your situation and laying out a path to recovery.
❤wow I so needed to hear this today. Nerve pain in pelvis, legs and feet for over a year. I have one more scan tomorrow to tick that final box so I can fully accept the TMS paradigm. For the last two weeks I resumed walking which I haven’t done in over six months and I’ve seen a little improvement but most of all the pain is not getting worse and I take that as a hopeful sign
My issue started after we got covid...it's been 15 months of a sore throat..it itches, burns, stings, feels tight like someone is choking me...the pain moves around too.... hypersensitive esophagus and throat is what they told me I had and that it's damaged and may never go away...this was after every single test imaginable. Alot of fear surrounding this. But I never, not once came into agreement with that diagnosis. I believe initial there was some issue for the pain...but now there just isn't. I am now starting to think this is TMS. Even food going down my throat causes pain. Just subscribed and bought Sarno's book. I'll be your next success story
I had major issue eating with Covid. Lost a stone. Even three months on, strep throat, tonsillitis etc difficulty swallowing and sinus issues. It's now gone but I eat smaller amounts more regularly. Wishing you well.
Scored 48 on the tms pain scale Sciatica, burning mouth, trigenial, foot neuropathy. Hand burning pain, basically everywhere but it's just tms! It's not any of this things. I am learning to not be scared of the pain. I am okay. I am getting better. I am so grateful for you.
I definitely believe in TMS as the mind body neural circuit pain is completely connected. COMPLETELY.. I appreciate these videos. You are so helpful. I just know though that ive had cervical pain and radicular pain for over 6 years intermittently. It's also unfortunately directly linked to the mri at C-5-6. I would love to say it's all fictitious and the mri is wrong, and doesnt correlate. But it is. I still talk to myself and I know im fine, and safe, but the writing is on the wall. Im thankful for my good days! Its a work in progress.. no surgery for me no matter what.
Gaining clarity is of upmost importance. As long as you believe you have a structural problem, the brain will continue to protect you. The MRI is not wrong. it shows the condition of the body. What is in debate is whether what you see on the imaging study is the REAL cause of pain or if the brain perceiving danger is the true cause. ua-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/v-deo.html
If you want to learn how to soothe, look at Finn the beautiful "purrfect" cat ❤️. I confirm the toothpain is TMS. I asked a second option to a dentist because I was having "moving" dental pains and I thought my dentist might have missed something. Result: nothing wrong with my teeth. (I am still happy I checked it out because I could have stressed out for months) and now I am reassured.
i started getting random sharp shooting headpain mostly on my right side but now the other too my throat is thight abd i feel like i have more pressure on my throat an neck on the right side where the symptoms are most done an brain and neck mri was normal blood was normal but im still in fear mode my brain searches for answers and i think i have every incurable disease causing this

@@elizabethtara7658 really everything that i mentioned? i habe this sore painful spot on my neck tight side that when i massage it abd oress on it it radiates the pain to my head
It's hard to lose the fear when sitting pain comes on after sitting, or after a few minutes of sitting, i had surgery for PNE and recovered, but it has returned.
I was told I have occipital and trigeminal neuralgia - I managing the pain but I also feel slightly sick and lightheaded which has bought my anxiety back very much. They wanted me to have an Mri but I refused however this time around has me feeling bad so do I have this MRi to rule things out then I can say its TMS.
The general recommendation is to rule out anything life threatening then to rule IN this thing called TMS. You can see how your symptoms behave by doing the two assessments here: IsThisTMS.com If symptoms behave like TMS, then that is what they are.
Dan...you are psychic! I've bern having a serious flare up mostly first thing in the morning when I stand up and start moving around ...my symptoms shift around from my hip o my ankle..weird. . This one really slows my morning tremendously. I can have a very low pain day and an excruciating morning. Working on detachment, "whatever" but I feel like I'm slipping into predictive coding, because it's a pretty intense sensation, around that first morning vertical challenge! Suggestions?
Linda - its all driven by fear. Before you get up, try doing some visualization of you getting up with ease and comfort with a big smile on your face. Do this each day to teach your brain that getting up and getting moving is a good thing and something to look forward to. You are likely already using visualization, but to your detriment. Laying there fearful of the pain is visualizing the pain coming on. The brain is simply delivering to you that which you expect. Two videos on the concept of pain reprocessing: Pain Reprocessing: ua-cam.com/video/e3h8T_RK3_8/v-deo.html Alan Gordon: ua-cam.com/video/LaJ4Fe7_nzk/v-deo.html
@@PainFreeYou Dan...you are right but it has been a conflict between fear and reprogramming the positive expectation. I appreciate the feedback and links. I am definitely going to work on gradually transforming that fear with positive visualization. My default to fear is so strong I guess...grat advice to realign expectations. 😊👍
I just want to add about facial pain, some of it, what get the label of neuropathy, can occur from dental treatment, surgeries to the face of any type, someone fall on his head or face, car accident. So it is in part a different thing from the people that have some structure from the day they were born of vessels on nerve. just thought it is important to say, if those are too can be treated as TMS, I am not sure, I don't know, but wanted to add since in this cases some mechanical or chemicals thing may cut a nerve, and it is a knowledge that should be mention
All of those theories may have nothing to do with shy someone hurts. I have met people who had 9 facial surgeries to deal with supposed physical problems. It was never the structure of their face. Most people with pain are experiencing Perceived Danger Pain. ua-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/v-deo.html This explains much. Fear that you have a problem in your face may be completely wrong.
I have been doing so well with my pelvic pudendal neuralgia and CRPS. It has slowly been improving over 3 and a half years and lately so much better. But then I flared and back came the woe is me thoughts. Flares feel like setbacks although I know they're not. Soothing during a flare is sooooooo hard!!
Difficult to soothe, but essential. You haven't forgotten what had you doing so much better for so long. Watch todays video on no overcomplicating things. You can't forget the things you've learned that got you well in the first place. :-)
I’m surprised to see anyone here who DOESN’T think their pain is the worst. I don’t think mild chronic pain people end up looking for help. Good advice though. It is bad.
That’s my thoughts exactly! 😬 He’s a good boy! Looks just like one of ours. Solid black with a tiny bit of while on end end of his tail, suspect soft, super sweet, and HUGE... nearly 22#!
We can have back pain in any position, anytime. IF.... the brain is perceiving danger. It has nothing to do with the body position. It has everything to do with the brains perception of danger.
I have pelvic pain and lower back pain. My feet hurt and have become incredibly vieny. Can this be nerve pain? Doctors cant find anything that is wrong after 1 year and a half.
Nobody I can specifically remember, but tremors are something I have heard about in the TMS community. Do you have other symptoms or just this? Have you evaluated if your symptoms behave like TMS or like a physical body problem? Here are a few ways for you to assess your situation. Take the pain test: DanBuglio.com/paintest - a score over 29 means you have TMS / Perceived Danger Pain. This also means you CAN end your symptoms. Do the FIT assessment below. If you answer yes to even one of the criteria, it is very likely your brain creating the pain based on perceived danger. FUNCTIONAL: -Symptoms began without a physical precipitation -Symptoms persist after an injury has healed (3-6 mo) -Symptoms are in a distribution pattern that is symmetric -Symptoms occur on one whole side of the body or occur on half of the face, head, or torso -Symptoms spread over time to different areas of the body -Symptoms radiate to the opposite side of the body or down a whole leg or arm -Symptoms that occur in many different body parts at the same time -Symptoms that have a quality of tingling, electric, burning, numb, hot or cold INCONSISTENT: -Symptom shift from one location in the body to another -Symptoms are more or less depending on the time of day. Or they occur first thing in the morning or in the middle of the night -Symptoms occur after, but not during, an activity or exercise -Symptoms occur when one thinks about them or when someone asks about it -Symptoms occur when stresses increased or one thinks about stressful situations -Symptoms are minimal or nonexistent when engaged and joyful or distracting activities, such as when on vacation -Symptoms are minimal or nonexistent after some kind of therapy, such as massage, chiropractic, Reiki, acupuncture, an herbal or vitamin supplement TRIGGERED: -symptoms are triggered by things that are not related to the actual symptom, such as foods, smells, sounds, light, computer screens, menses, changes in the weather -symptoms are triggered by the anticipation of stress, such as prior to school, work, a doctors visit, a medical test, a visit to a relative, or a social gathering; or during those activities -symptoms that are triggered by simply imagining engaging in the triggering activity such as bending over, turning the neck, sitting or standing -symptoms that are triggered by light touch or innocuous stimuli, such as the wind or cold If it's TMS, then you can end your symptoms.
@@PainFreeYou For about a year now I’ve been dealing with leg tremors post Covid. My neurologist says it’s psychogenic. It has caused a lot of fatigue and back issues that I have been addressing through chiropractic, massage, hypnotherapy, bio feedback to mention a few along with medication. Everyone seems to think I’m stuck in fight or flight and I’ve done a lot of reading on the topic.
I have read books by Dr Sarno and Nicole Sachs, plus many others which led me to you and your podcast. I have other symptoms, insomnia, bladder frequency, aches and pains, temp control issues, toe numbness, tingling, etc. I am trying to do the work on myself but not getting too far.
I don't know any people who have done that successfully. I believe this is an inside job and one where we need to teach the brain we are safe. Expecting someone else to do that for us may not result in success. The knowledge and experience of the hypnotist would need to be spot on to gain benefit. I could be wrong, but that's my two cents.
Ive suffered a year with all over nerve pain, entire body, head to toe, worse than prudendal. Taking my life was a daily temptation. Came across Alan Gordons podcasts and Dr Sarnos book. Decided 100% this back pain method could be applied to my nerve pain. Slowly over 2 months I seen bits of hope, last week I had 2 days in a row it was completely gone. Thats a miracle.

Everything you said made sense and totally rung true for me! I’m now in recovery, still some fear to work on but I’m getting there. Thank you for your free videos 😊
You are so welcome
This just popped up on my feed. I’ve been watching your videos for about 6 months and didn’t see this one. I’ve been having burning mouth and neuropathy for awhile. Every test comes up negative. I know this is TMS now. So glad I watched it.
Here's how to get started with my approach:
Foundational Information:
Watch the video at: PainFreeYou.com
Take the pain test: DanBuglio.com/paintest - a score over 29 means you have TMS / Perceived Danger Pain
Watch the video about Perceived Danger Pain: ua-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/v-deo.html
Now you know what is causing pain. Next step is moving towards how to TEACH the brain to turn it off. Since perceived danger is what turns pain on, teaching safety is the solution. ua-cam.com/video/5SsKnAgAvnY/v-deo.html
Getting more help:
Individual coaching: DanBuglio.com/coaching - I am booked solid for approximately 4-6 weeks in advance.
Group Coaching and Course: PainFreeYou.com/join - you can begin this any time. The course will be available instantly and the next weekly group coaching is no farther away than the upcoming Wednesday.
At minimum, watch my free daily coaching videos at DansUA-cam.com. A new video posts daily at 5am NYC Time zone. Many are getting better implementing the concepts taught in my free videos. ua-cam.com/users/PainFreeYouvideos
Did it go
How does the body create the horrific pain of trigeminal neuralgia??
Can you advise me please. I have tmj and get a burning sensation on the side of my nose and pressure on my eyebrow. I'm so scared it's becoming tn I can't get past it
I wish you could work with kelsey darragh. She is a comidan and is well known on u tube. She has trigeminal neuralgia and has documented her journey trying so many different treatments. Imagine if you two worked together and she got better it would be amazing and would give hope to so many
Hugely helpful, Dan. Thank you. “Comparing my daily drudgery to their highlight reel.” WOW. That is powerful.
It's so true. Nobody posts their daily drudgery on FB and IG. We have NO idea what their true lives are like. haha
EXACTLY what I needed to hear today. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I can hear kitty purring on the video. So awesome. He wants you to scratch behind his ears.
Thank you!
More videos with cat cameos! One of the things I do to calm down and tell my brain I’m safe is petting and snuggling with my cat. I call it cat therapy.
My cat Finn lays on my chest daily.
Thanks Dan.
You're welcome.
❤️❤️❤️🇱🇺🙏🌹you are the best.thankyou Dan. You are the best coach, teacher ever. And a great human being
Thank you.
Love your kind words , and empathy . Really needed this today xx
Glad to be able to help. :-)
This video popped up this morning as I was going to watch your current one.. I was meant to see this one, it seems I’m meant to see the ALL, really! I have had Trigeminal nerve pain from having shingles on my scalp and down the side of my face…also when I first went into menopause I got sever burning mouth syndrome. The way I processed it all was in total paralyzing fear, I would get so anxious thinking the very worst scenarios. The odd thing, my family and many friends, always seem to gravitate toward me though to be calmed down and reassured about their physical/emotional issues. And here I was, with no tools to handle my own issues. I’ve shared with you about having chronic fatigue syndrome relapse, I simply once again cannot thank you enough for valuable help you are so freely giving us. Already I am able to call myself down from back pain, or headaches that come along. I just wish I had known sooner, now I am able to except this chronic fatigue syndrome, yet at the same time I know in my heart, that I am going to recover from this fully, totally - I don’t know when, but it’s going to happen. I appreciate you Dan, and the amazing work that Dr. Sarno left for us…BTW, there’s nothing like a faithful black cat…just two weeks ago my 19 year old Bailey girl crossed rainbow bridge.
Oh wow - I'm so sorry about Bailey. Damn sad.
@@PainFreeYou ❤️
Great advice Dan .. one of your best I have listened too.. 👍 Love your beautiful cat Finn 🐈⬛ I reckon people who love animals are really good and kind.. you are one of them ☺️
Awww - thank you Lily. Finn is super cool. A great roommate.
That's interesting, thanks for sharing. I came across your videos as I was doing research on Dr Sarno's book, after countless visits to the GP and neurologists to deal with my neuropathy. You've put your finger on a lot of concepts (comparing pain, feeling misunderstood, shame) I couldn't really explain before. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Glad it was helpful! If you'd like to fast track your recovery, check out the course and group coaching I offer. PainFreeYou.com/join for details.
Oh man nerve pain has stopped me from sleeping the past three nights and kept me in bed, I feel so nauseated with it. Nerve pain is very tiring. Sciatic pain down both legs into my feet, Neuropathic pain and CRPS….. I have three black cats like yours and I love that purring sound, this is something I find very soothing and comforting when I’m
Having the more distressing days, I also got a puppy a couple of years ago as a companion dog who has helped brighten my days. She is my constant companion, who gives me so much joy everyday, she help with distraction. Yes the pain cycle. Distraction and acceptance x
I'm sorry you are struggling. Have you gone through the materials on my getting started page? www.PainFreeYou.com/start This will help you get a deep understanding of what causes the pain, determining if that's your situation and laying out a path to recovery.
Another great one Dan that I can relate to.
Thanks for listening!
Thank you i need to hear that blessings 🙏❤️
❤wow I so needed to hear this today. Nerve pain in pelvis, legs and feet for over a year. I have one more scan tomorrow to tick that final box so I can fully accept the TMS paradigm. For the last two weeks I resumed walking which I haven’t done in over six months and I’ve seen a little improvement but most of all the pain is not getting worse and I take that as a hopeful sign
A great place to make sure you have the foundational knowledge is here: www.PainFreeYou.com/start
My issue started after we got covid...it's been 15 months of a sore throat..it itches, burns, stings, feels tight like someone is choking me...the pain moves around too.... hypersensitive esophagus and throat is what they told me I had and that it's damaged and may never go away...this was after every single test imaginable. Alot of fear surrounding this. But I never, not once came into agreement with that diagnosis. I believe initial there was some issue for the pain...but now there just isn't. I am now starting to think this is TMS. Even food going down my throat causes pain. Just subscribed and bought Sarno's book. I'll be your next success story
Certainly sounds like TMS. Have you taken the pain test? DanBuglio.com/paintest
@@PainFreeYou yes! scored over 40
I had major issue eating with Covid. Lost a stone. Even three months on, strep throat, tonsillitis etc difficulty swallowing and sinus issues. It's now gone but I eat smaller amounts more regularly. Wishing you well.
Thank you this video Dan
Scored 48 on the tms pain scale
Sciatica, burning mouth, trigenial, foot neuropathy. Hand burning pain, basically everywhere but it's just tms! It's not any of this things. I am learning to not be scared of the pain. I am okay. I am getting better. I am so grateful for you.
Thank you Dee. Yes, a score of 48 is absolutely TMS. You are on the right path.
I definitely believe in TMS as the mind body neural circuit pain is completely connected. COMPLETELY.. I appreciate these videos. You are so helpful.
I just know though that ive had cervical pain and radicular pain for over 6 years intermittently. It's also unfortunately directly linked to the mri at C-5-6. I would love to say it's all fictitious and the mri is wrong, and doesnt correlate. But it is.
I still talk to myself and I know im fine, and safe, but the writing is on the wall. Im thankful for my good days! Its a work in progress.. no surgery for me no matter what.
Gaining clarity is of upmost importance. As long as you believe you have a structural problem, the brain will continue to protect you. The MRI is not wrong. it shows the condition of the body. What is in debate is whether what you see on the imaging study is the REAL cause of pain or if the brain perceiving danger is the true cause.

If you want to learn how to soothe, look at Finn the beautiful "purrfect" cat ❤️. I confirm the toothpain is TMS. I asked a second option to a dentist because I was having "moving" dental pains and I thought my dentist might have missed something. Result: nothing wrong with my teeth. (I am still happy I checked it out because I could have stressed out for months) and now I am reassured.
Yes, ruling out anything significant is important. Now you can dive 100% into the TMS approach. ua-cam.com/video/3vJgBnrhFt8/v-deo.html
i started getting random sharp shooting headpain mostly on my right side but now the other too my throat is thight abd i feel like i have more pressure on my throat an neck on the right side where the symptoms are most done an brain and neck mri was normal blood was normal but im still in fear mode my brain searches for answers and i think i have every incurable disease causing this
Rule in Mindbody as the cause. IsThisPDP.com

I USED to get that alot. Now its moved to other parts !
@@elizabethtara7658 really everything that i mentioned? i habe this sore painful spot on my neck tight side that when i massage it abd oress on it it radiates the pain to my head
@@elizabethtara7658 really you had it daily too?
Dan where you always so cruise and relaxed or is that one of the things that came with TMS
I was fairly easy going, but I still had 13 years of TMS pain.
There isn’t $$$$ in TMS, so you won’t hear about it mainstream
It's hard to lose the fear when sitting pain comes on after sitting, or after a few minutes of sitting, i had surgery for PNE and recovered, but it has returned.
I was told I have occipital and trigeminal neuralgia - I managing the pain but I also feel slightly sick and lightheaded which has bought my anxiety back very much. They wanted me to have an Mri but I refused however this time around has me feeling bad so do I have this MRi to rule things out then I can say its TMS.
The general recommendation is to rule out anything life threatening then to rule IN this thing called TMS. You can see how your symptoms behave by doing the two assessments here: IsThisTMS.com
If symptoms behave like TMS, then that is what they are.
Dan...you are psychic! I've bern having a serious flare up mostly first thing in the morning when I stand up and start moving around ...my symptoms shift around from my hip o my ankle..weird. . This one really slows my morning tremendously. I can have a very low pain day and an excruciating morning. Working on detachment, "whatever" but I feel like I'm slipping into predictive coding, because it's a pretty intense sensation, around that first morning vertical challenge! Suggestions?
Linda - its all driven by fear. Before you get up, try doing some visualization of you getting up with ease and comfort with a big smile on your face. Do this each day to teach your brain that getting up and getting moving is a good thing and something to look forward to.
You are likely already using visualization, but to your detriment. Laying there fearful of the pain is visualizing the pain coming on. The brain is simply delivering to you that which you expect. Two videos on the concept of pain reprocessing:
Pain Reprocessing:
ua-cam.com/video/e3h8T_RK3_8/v-deo.html
Alan Gordon:
ua-cam.com/video/LaJ4Fe7_nzk/v-deo.html
@@PainFreeYou Dan...you are right but it has been a conflict between fear and reprogramming the positive expectation. I appreciate the feedback and links. I am definitely going to work on gradually transforming that fear with positive visualization. My default to fear is so strong I guess...grat advice to realign expectations. 😊👍
I just want to add about facial pain, some of it, what get the label of neuropathy, can occur from dental treatment, surgeries to the face of any type, someone fall on his head or face, car accident.
So it is in part a different thing from the people that have some structure from the day they were born of vessels on nerve.
just thought it is important to say, if those are too can be treated as TMS, I am not sure, I don't know, but wanted to add since in this cases some mechanical or chemicals thing may cut a nerve, and it is a knowledge that should be mention
All of those theories may have nothing to do with shy someone hurts. I have met people who had 9 facial surgeries to deal with supposed physical problems. It was never the structure of their face.
Most people with pain are experiencing Perceived Danger Pain.
ua-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/v-deo.html
This explains much. Fear that you have a problem in your face may be completely wrong.
They say my burning mouth syndrome is nerve pain but nothing showed on a m r I. But I still feel burning. Bad tastes in mouth 24 7 hours a day.
YES YES YES. Perceived danger as explained in this video is ALL that is going on.
ua-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/v-deo.htmlsi=LWAyGi5Zt-7b1K24
I broke my ankle and a tendon ripped no doctor would operate so now never pain in foot
I have been doing so well with my pelvic pudendal neuralgia and CRPS. It has slowly been improving over 3 and a half years and lately so much better. But then I flared and back came the woe is me thoughts. Flares feel like setbacks although I know they're not. Soothing during a flare is sooooooo hard!!
Difficult to soothe, but essential. You haven't forgotten what had you doing so much better for so long. Watch todays video on no overcomplicating things. You can't forget the things you've learned that got you well in the first place. :-)
🙏
I’m surprised to see anyone here who DOESN’T think their pain is the worst. I don’t think mild chronic pain people end up looking for help. Good advice though. It is bad.
❤️🐈
That’s my thoughts exactly! 😬 He’s a good boy! Looks just like one of ours. Solid black with a tiny bit of while on end end of his tail, suspect soft, super sweet, and HUGE... nearly 22#!
I have a black girl kitty❤
Thank you for the video today.
Do you have any videos on back pain on sitting or sleeping, it is not possible to have back pain sitting or resting , isn’t that true Dan
We can have back pain in any position, anytime. IF.... the brain is perceiving danger. It has nothing to do with the body position. It has everything to do with the brains perception of danger.
I have pelvic pain and lower back pain. My feet hurt and have become incredibly vieny. Can this be nerve pain? Doctors cant find anything that is wrong after 1 year and a half.
Have you helped people with leg tremors?
Nobody I can specifically remember, but tremors are something I have heard about in the TMS community. Do you have other symptoms or just this?
Have you evaluated if your symptoms behave like TMS or like a physical body problem? Here are a few ways for you to assess your situation.
Take the pain test: DanBuglio.com/paintest - a score over 29 means you have TMS / Perceived Danger Pain. This also means you CAN end your symptoms.
Do the FIT assessment below. If you answer yes to even one of the criteria, it is very likely your brain creating the pain based on perceived danger.
FUNCTIONAL:
-Symptoms began without a physical precipitation
-Symptoms persist after an injury has healed (3-6 mo)
-Symptoms are in a distribution pattern that is symmetric
-Symptoms occur on one whole side of the body or occur on half of the face, head, or torso
-Symptoms spread over time to different areas of the body
-Symptoms radiate to the opposite side of the body or down a whole leg or arm
-Symptoms that occur in many different body parts at the same time
-Symptoms that have a quality of tingling, electric, burning, numb, hot or cold
INCONSISTENT:
-Symptom shift from one location in the body to another
-Symptoms are more or less depending on the time of day. Or they occur first thing in the morning or in the middle of the night
-Symptoms occur after, but not during, an activity or exercise
-Symptoms occur when one thinks about them or when someone asks about it
-Symptoms occur when stresses increased or one thinks about stressful situations
-Symptoms are minimal or nonexistent when engaged and joyful or distracting activities, such as when on vacation
-Symptoms are minimal or nonexistent after some kind of therapy, such as massage, chiropractic, Reiki, acupuncture, an herbal or vitamin supplement
TRIGGERED:
-symptoms are triggered by things that are not related to the actual symptom, such as foods, smells, sounds, light, computer screens, menses, changes in the weather
-symptoms are triggered by the anticipation of stress, such as prior to school, work, a doctors visit, a medical test, a visit to a relative, or a social gathering; or during those activities
-symptoms that are triggered by simply imagining engaging in the triggering activity such as bending over, turning the neck, sitting or standing
-symptoms that are triggered by light touch or innocuous stimuli, such as the wind or cold
If it's TMS, then you can end your symptoms.
@@PainFreeYou For about a year now I’ve been dealing with leg tremors post Covid. My neurologist says it’s psychogenic. It has caused a lot of fatigue and back issues that I have been addressing through chiropractic, massage, hypnotherapy, bio feedback to mention a few along with medication. Everyone seems to think I’m stuck in fight or flight and I’ve done a lot of reading on the topic.
I have read books by Dr Sarno and Nicole Sachs, plus many others which led me to you and your podcast. I have other symptoms, insomnia, bladder frequency, aches and pains, temp control issues, toe numbness, tingling, etc. I am trying to do the work on myself but not getting too far.
This goes for burning mouth syndrome eating cause more psin is thst the fear working
YES YES YES. Perceived danger as explained in this video is ALL that is going on.
ua-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/v-deo.htmlsi=LWAyGi5Zt-7b1K24
You think my psin is nerve pain
All created by the BRAIN perceiving danger. Your nerves are not damaged.
Could yoy be hypnotised to unlearn the pain?
I don't know any people who have done that successfully. I believe this is an inside job and one where we need to teach the brain we are safe. Expecting someone else to do that for us may not result in success. The knowledge and experience of the hypnotist would need to be spot on to gain benefit. I could be wrong, but that's my two cents.
Have you ever successfully treated someone with post-herpetic neuralgia ?
Answered in your Facebook PM's.
Why not here at you tube ?
Just like chronic Epididymitis, there's no cure for it and urologists don't know what's going on with that. TMS all the way
