Excellent! Thank You Ladies! ❤❤❤

[@irenepapaspyros4847]

I had POTS and CFS and 95% fully recovered as well! Would love to speak with you ❤

[@RichiesVinylTimeMachine]

Dysautonomia/POTS. main problem is the vagus nerve! And the vagus nerve is the communicator between the heart and the brain! So, there is more than just a physical issue. There is a disbalance between listening to your heart to listening to your brain.

I would take 95 percent any day!!

What a wonderful interview! Nurse Jo is a breath of fresh air, so humble, wise, and practical. She is such a lovely person. I know she is now such a wonderful coach helping others who were once in her shoes coming at it with a whole-body approach. Amazing to see that she is also trying to share knowledge about the nervous system from her experiences and research with other western medical professionals. I also appreciate how she factors where western medicine can help.

Thanks, Liz! 🧡🧡

95% is incredible! 🎉 Ground Hog’s Day is a great description!! Mindset is huge. The longer you are in it, the worse the mindset gets. Crawling out of a deep hole now.

How do you get out of the mindset?

[@deelicious1610]

@@coliasmeadii Catching and reframing negative thought loops all day long for months even years. Plus mood elevation, nervous system regulation, and more. Look into brain retraining programs. You might be able to do it alone, but the odds are you will need help.

Raelan, it would be great to have an interview with Dr Geri Puleo, who is an expert on work burnout. You can find her on YT. At this point, it's difficult for me to differentiate a work burnout versus a shorter episode of CFS. It would be interesting to compare both. Thank you!

[@larsstougaard7097]

Great with so many interviews, but remember to not burn out

[@Mondegreen2020]

Great story! I'm still recovering from CIRS, with a lot of help from channels like this & with relatively little help from functional medicine practioner$. I'd love to see more stories of covid vax injury recovery too. 💪🏻🌎

[@s.g.6380]

I love you, thank you for everything ♥️

[@DrPatriciaWorby]

Thanks Jo. Same area as I'm from! Dysautonomia is a great term that covers all these symptoms. My experience is that this is repressed emotions from past traumatic experience stored in the body. This sets the stress response very high then it doesn't take much to then trigger a crash as amygdala over reacts to an infection . You always have to make changes in your life because the old way clearly had something out of balance

[@justritasimi]

Ive had POTS syndrome for 20 years. Blood volume boosting through high salt intake , salt fluid loading , aerobic exercise, and weight training are what treats POTS ( without going the medication route). Also avoid getting dehydrated or stress/overexertion .

[@sachavanmeir1591]

Did you drink salt water? Any salt, or Himalayan salt? Thank you

I’m so glad I found this, I’ve been dealing with long covered for three years and I had no idea. I’ve been trying to figure out why I have so many symptoms and what they are from. I’ve seen every type of doctor and including Reiki acupuncture all the modalities and nothing worked so hard for three years but now I feel like I’m crashing.

[@germanside7890]

Such a lovely woman with heaps of knowledge. I could listen to her voice all day long 🙂So crystal clear for me as an German.

[@isabelisabel6670]

what was the medication she said she took for her symptoms?

[@regina6838]

Medications for POTS.

[@juliagehring2680]

"Ivabradin" I think she said

[@Jane-pg8jv]

Thank you!!!!

[@deelicious1610]

Was wondering if there any recovery stories that include neurofeedback as a helpful therapy?

[@hadarovsky]

Yes!! Me too!! Please Raelan 🙏

[@deelicious1610]

Just a follow up. I tried neurofeedback hoping to start sleeping better. It was expensive and it didn’t help.

[@hadarovsky]

@@deelicious1610 sorry to hear that

[@Joan-COYI]
