      @islamicreminders3648 Having a disease is not a test from any God. It means we all got shitty genes lol. It's all genetic, like having red hair or epilepsy. I saw a documentary on here a year or so ago about these girls who can't feel pain at all. It's definitely important to remember that other people have it worse, and we should be grateful. It could always be worse

      Oh my goodness, you hit the nail on the head! That’s the exact pain I feel!
      It’s hard to explain how after hikes, I have two pains. The normal soreness pain, that sometimes hurts but also feels good when you stretch it out.
      And then that tooth ache feel, like the bones and nerves have been hit by a hammer.
      I have both after a long day of physical activity, and people have a hard time when I say “I hurt, but more than just sore hurt.”

The latter is difficult of course but I try to avoid it if possible.

He had retired early ten earlier years to care for her when she was diagnosed legally blind and I just didn't have enough energy. She passed away at 97 a year ago but the previous two years took a lot out of me, all my symptoms worsened but I'd do it again.

    The weird thing is that I can bust my chin open, get up and feel perfectly fine. Then a bad fibro day comes and my legs literally feel like they’re about to snap in half.
    Broke my nose, didn’t bother to see a doctor. Didn’t see a doctor till I developed fluid buildup in my lungs, and didn’t see the doctor till my double ear I faction caused permeant damage visible on my scans to this day.
    While I can say that only around 5% of my fibro pain reaches the level of massive ear infection, it does honestly feel like a toothache all acrossed my body. Worst in my rips, cheekbone area, lower limbs, and wrists.
    There have been days where I was in so much pain that I was bed ridden for over a week. The worst part is how bad it feels to act like “such a baby” when you know it’s just your pain system overreacting.
    Spent most of my teens in deep pain, only for my family and school to treat me like I was making it up. “Get over it, stop being lazy”, that fun stuff.

    • @paincrusaderofficial
      @paincrusaderofficial  ปีที่แล้ว +16

      trauma is a predisposing factor for sure, but it does not *cause* chronic pain. It can cause your nervous system to feel like it needs to protect you because it learned that the world is not safe at a young age. The nervous system side of things however, causes your body to be in an overly protective state, activating pain as the alarm and then activating your other fight or flight responses, thus the increased muscle tone, decreased gut and reproductive functions (hence the endo you mentioned), increased inflammation, sleep difficulty, and brain fog. We address the underlying factor of the nervous system, and we see those symptoms all improve, pain, gut and reproductive symptoms, immune system symptoms and inflammation, sleep improves, anxiety and depression improves, ability to function and quality of life improves.

      ​@@jopainting1668 Firstly, I hear you, and your struggles are real. I wish I could snap my fingers and fix it all, but this is a bit more complicated than that, right? Because everyone's pain and circumstances are different, this approach requires a personalized plan that incorporates a whole system of knowledge, drills, and strategies. We can't really condense it into a simple TH-cam video and expect transformational results. In fact, making generalized recommendations could actually harm some people, and doing so would be professionally irresponsible of me.
      To date, I haven't found a way to teach this approach without providing 1:1 support and/or a structured container to ensure success. Unfortunately for both of us, insurance companies would rather cover temporary, passive, retroactive, expensive solutions that grow less effective over time (like injections, ablations, medications, and surgeries) than cover care that teaches you what you can do to treat your pain on your own with no nasty side-effects or complications. My program costs far less than ongoing 1:1 sessions and is far more valuable and effective.
      The struggles you're facing are a systemic issue that I know I can't solve as one person. I do offer scholarship opportunities where I work with those in the most need. The next cycle of applications kicks off next week (Sep 11 - Sep 17). You are more than welcome to apply and I hope you do!

      I feel she had a good childhood & upbringing.. We lived in the country and she had good friends and she danced, she had pet rabbits, cats, dogs, chickens and pony’s. She seemed to be a happy child. I feel that I was a good mum. What am I missing. What has caused this ..
      As a child she did get sick with colds, she was allergic to horses, and sh also had exma when she was very young. When she was 14 she developed severe psoriasis and was given methotrexate to control it. She also has been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis.
      Acupuncture has not helped, float therapy didn’t help, Myotherapy gives her some relief for a day or 2.. As does a remedial massage now and then.

      any kind of infection can sort of "trigger" the nervous system to make these overprotective changes where it ramps up its defense mechanisms. Or, in many cases, an infection can absolutely flare symptoms or sensitize the nervous system further. Same goes with allergens or food insensitivities, things like that.

    • @paincrusaderofficial

      @@joser83111 Not how the brain sends signals to the body... but, more of, 1. how easily the body picks up stimuli (nerves become more reactive to smaller stimuli), 2. how messages from the body are interpreted in the sensory cortex. There is a 'disruption' of sorts like you mentioned and it has to do with the processing ability of the brain, where its like the brain and the body are no longer speaking the same language. So the brain can't understand the messages from the body and is forced to assume every message it gets means you're potentially injured, and must activate it's protective response (pain + fight or flight activated) just in case. Keys to solving this are 1. reducing reactivity of peripheral nerves, 2. getting the brain and body speaking the same language again, 3. reducing strength of pain pathways. If you'd like more info on all this, I'd recommend my Breakthrough Chronic Pain Course. It's 3 parts and you can listen to the first part here >> th-cam.com/video/lu5SbuCsBas/w-d-xo.html.

Fatigue is generally a very common symptom with nervous system sensitivity. So is gut dysfunction, sleep dysfunction, reproductive dysfunction, so is immune dysfunction... different people present with varying degrees of symptoms in each category. People who present with fatigue as their primary symptom end up with a diagnosis of CFS. People with pain as the primary symptom end up with a diagnosis of fibro. People with gut symptoms as the primary symptom end up with the diagnosis of IBS. People with reproductive dysfunction end up with a diagnosis of endometriosis. People with immune dysfuncion as the primary symptom end up with the diagnosis of lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. This can go many ways, but these are just some examples. There are differences and nuances to each diagnosis, but the thing they all have in common is the nervous system sensitivity issue. Does that make sense?

      Fibro is believed to come from intense and often repetitive trauma onto somebody, both emotionally and physically.
      There’s something called Neuroplastic pain, which isn’t exactly the same as fibromyalgia but pretty similar. Basically, it’s pain that’s in your head that’s triggered by an painful event, which can be physical or emotional and doesn’t need to be traumatizing.
      Say, you play football and got tackled, suddenly you get really bad back pain and your doctors have zero clue why you have it when all the X-rays look perfectly normal and there’s no signs of inflammation. Or maybe your mother passed away and suddenly your neck starts hurting horribly that you swear was due to a traffic accident you had ten years back, all without any physical proof.
      It’s pain that vents stress, just like fibro, but is focused onto specific parts and validated by constant reaffirming. I’d recommend looking into it since that sorta thing can be helped or even sometimes go away fully.
