    You have to get worse before you get better

    You have to get worse before you get better I feel like I am entering a downturn once again. During the first stage of my recovery, everything got worse for almost half a year; later, the main discomfort subsided a bit and plateaued. However, my brain changed its strategy: it spread the...

    My path is not linear (and why I need to share this today)

    @BloodMoon Thank you for your thoughtful words, you truly always say just what I need to hear and it comforts my soul. Honestly, I have spent the entire morning crying. It is not even because of the symptoms right now, because physically I am already doing better, nor is it because of my father...

    My path is not linear (and why I need to share this today)

    My path is not linear (and why I need to share this today) This post will be a bit long because I have a lot to say, and I apologize for that. I had not posted in a while and only planned to do so if it was strictly necessary, but yesterday something happened to me and, obviously, I need you...

    How do you navigate anxiety, rumination, catastrophizing?

    Hello. I think it is very common; in my experience, the fear, anxiety, and catastrophizing were just as extreme as my own symptoms. However, by learning about the mind-body connection, I understood that these were also symptoms created by the brain; being sensitized all the time, it spends its...

    Trigeminal Neuropathy after Dental Work (amidst other things)

    The only way to train your brain is by doing it right when the symptom is present. So each relapse is your greatest opportunity to remind it that these sensations are safe, that you are secure, and that you do not need them as false alarms. When the pain comes, respond as neutrally as possible...

    Confirmed diagnosis and my symptoms skyrocketed

    CRPS pain is just a label for a set of symptoms that includes neuropathic pain, sensory problems, etc., highly unusual symptoms. I don't have an official diagnosis, but I guess I would have been given that label in my arms. Symptoms usually spread to the entire body. You already know that fear...

    Numbness, tingling, electric shocks, paresthesia, allydonia, small fiber neuropathy

    "Por cierto, tengo muchos de los síntomas que mencionas, incluyendo inflamación, y todos fluctúan. Las pruebas salieron bien. Todo parece indicar que tu problema es de origen cerebral o EMT."

    New Member - Trying to solve the pain puzzle

    Mis síntomas coinciden bastante con los que usted experimenta. Se caracterizan por dolor nervioso bilateral en los brazos (principalmente en el izquierdo), así como sensación de ardor, hormigueo y rigidez en las pantorrillas o las piernas. También experimento dolores punzantes e intensos de...

    Doing the emotional work but feel totally out of control and lost

    «Look at this process as if it were a feedback loop that you have to break in order to heal. I recommend that you watch Dr. Schubiner's videos, but let me explain a bit how I understand it. Brain sensitization can happen for many reasons: childhood trauma, pressure, stress, self-imposed high...

    Doing the emotional work but feel totally out of control and lost

    "That’s true. It also helped me a lot to learn about other people's personal experiences, to know what the process was like, and what to avoid. The videos and posts by @miffybunny and @TG957, as well as the contributions from people like @BloodMoon and other users, have been very helpful to me...
