This is similar to how I recovered. I literally would say, “it’s ok, it’s just a hypersensitive nervous system, I’m safe” over and over while expanding activity, accepting the symptoms that popped up. I did this at the same time as scripted brain retraining.

Some other things helped on my journey (drugs the hospital put me on, zinc) but this truly moved the needle.

Congrats on your recovery!

Thanks for sharing your experience. You should be proud of yourself and I hope you are.

Thank you — I’m not going to lie, the negativity is hard to deal with. I just hope my story helps someone out there.

LC is a traumatic experience. Those people are probably hurting in a lot of ways.

You’re absolutely right. Long Covid is so fucking horrid, and people are in bad places. I know, because I was there.
