Alisha's TMS / PDP Success Story - Long COVID, Anxiety, Palpitations, Fast Heart, Panic & Dizziness

[@DottieBengo]

I can SO identify with the 'shall I stop the supplements/regimes/modalities?' question. That is exactly where I am at the moment because I don’t want to start feeling worse when I'm making so much progress. A great interview.❤

[@Tamara-1970]

Thank you Alisha for sharing your recovery from TMS. I relate so much with your story. I used to think I had chronic Lyme & co-infections and was on all kinds of detox protocols. Now I know that the protocols, the supplements, the fear of specific foods were only fueling my TMS symptoms, because they were fueling the fear. It truly is a proces of recovery from fear! Just like you I was able quit all protocols and supplements, I can eat all foods again. And I am doing so much better! Thank you again, it is so helpful to hear similar stories. 🙏

How please share

[@luiscrespo9902]

Alisha, thank you for sharing with us your recovery story. Just as you listened to others' recovery stories for your own good, now you are helping others with your own story. Happy to know you figured out what was going on with your health! Best Wishes!

Remember high cortisol (panic attacks) irritates nerves and vestibular system=dizziness

[@SuperFondant-l7l]

As a person very concerned about mold and parasites, it's amazing to hear you made it to 100 without going on a 💯 eradication mission aka war against the body. The power of dans pdp messaging and approach is amazing. Congrats on your full recovery Alisha and thank you for sharing this!

[@robertwilliams5618]

Yes a lot of those bad neighborhoods as Dan calls them have a tendency to scare us into thinking we must avoid mold.at all costs...it's nice to see you can get well without it

[@marieleak8731]

Congratulations. Another hopeful, inspiring success story. Many years ago I was diagnosed with Lyme's through a blood test. When I think back all the detox and supplements made me so sick. It cost me money I did not have, so then the credit card bills piled up. I did not know about Mind Body then, so glad I do now. ♥🥰♥

[@ritamead6318]

And having to pay out of pocket a lot of money adds to the stress which adds to the pain..

[@lenaalcaide2687]

Thanks, Alisha for sharing your story. Thank you Dan. I am learning a lot from your videos and the stories. I relate to this one so much. I never was tested for or told that I have parasites. But in 2021, after having Covid my daughter was born at 30 weeks. It was a very stressful journey. I was in the hospital pregnant for 6 weeks for an incompetent cervix, without visitors allowed. I got Covid in the hospital. My daughter was born prematurely. She was in the NICU for 2 months and required a lot of follow ups. After she became strong and healthy, my sensations started to show up. I've had palpitations, vertigo, dizziness, migraines, blurred vision, chronic fatigue, occipital neuralgia according to the neurologist, and neck pain, anxiety, panic attacks, orthostatic intolerance, brain fog.....I went to several specialists, spent a lot of money I didn't have, had a lot of tests done. I had to stop driving. I was scared to lose my job. I took some sick time off and was bed bound. Every doctor would tell me that everything is Ok and everyone gave me a different opinion or diagnosis. They told me that maybe I was anxious and had long Covid and hospital PTSD or a dysautonomia. In so much frustration, I learned about TMS. I downloaded the Curable app. Then I found you, Dan, doing my own research. I've taken therapies, I am watching the stories, the videos, reading the books. I am convinced that it's all TMS. I talk to my brain, do meditation. I am feeling better, but slowly. Recently, the neurologist on a telehealth follow up, recommended a monthly injection for the migraines. My insurance approved it. She wants to block my occipital nerve in February. But I am afraid to do that, and I haven't used the Ajovy.

[@sylviaramer9466]

What an excellent video by a fellow North Carolinian! Thank you Dan and Alisha for this one. I'm really glad you are feeling much better, Alisha. I'm on my TMS recovery path now.

[@tominnc315]

Many of us can totally relate. Me. Live in NC. Caught covid Dec 2021 6 wks after high HR numb feet then fatigue & nausea & headaches. Joined Dan s Group. All resolved. Focus research Drs tests fear & my feet & legs numb & burn. I know what it is Thanks Alisha

Thankyou !!, this was a awesome interview, reallly relate to alot of this (my tms is cfs sensations aka just tms, same as ling covid 🤣) This was a really simple, calm vibe to this recovery story with the discussion of somatic tracking and messages of safety ❤️ needed this today, feeling a bit low about progress and if im on track lately, this discussion really helped and her words of encouragement at the end ❤🙌so greatly appreciated guys 🙌🙌

[@matth8849]

Hi Dan I am a mountaineer and climber who is recovering from long covid (fast heartbeat ,anxiety and so one). Your videos helped immensly, once i lost fear of never being able to climb again my symptoms started to improve rather rapid). For me cold plunging is an integral part of recovery, it immediatly reduces hearrate, and blows away anxiety and the endorphine release makes me happy. I also have the feeling cold plunging is a great tool for "brain retraining". The more you accept that cold water is just water that is cold, the more neutral and relaxed you try to be in the cold the less hard it is.

[@katelawlor2033]

Absolutely fantastic. Enjoyed it so much.Similar journey to me Hugely inspiring.Thank you.

[@PainFreeYou]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hea7055]

Thank you Dan for this inspiring interview and Alisha for sharing your story. It's so helpful. I can relate to a lot of what you talk about, with the journey of your sensations and being diagnosed with so much and using treatment after treatment with little benefit. I'm discovering the benefit of somatic tracking too. I love how Dan re-phrases terms in this interview. I can feel my nervous system respond to that in a calmer way. So clever, yet simple and powerful. 🙂

[@DarrenCarter-z9u]

So pleased for you well done

Thank you! You too!

[@kateking3953]

The odd thing is that in the UK, doctors don't talk about Lyme and very rarely about MCAS. They are very American putative diagnoses.

[@vhink311]

This was super helpful thank you! It would be great to hear what other techniques ppl use to create safety in the body. I still feel very much in a panic state 24/7 and find trouble calming myself down… but I’m sure I will get there one day! Thanks again!

[@christinehorne5165]

The fast start play list has a video about messages of safety.

[@deniseihler7963]

Wow this sounds so much like my journey!

[@caliborn6884]

Thinking, or worse, visualizing parasites taking over your body is enough to make anyone very fearful. I’ve been there, and kept looking for the holy Grail to make me feel better. Including cleansing clinics and saltwater protocols, the list is endless, but I never got better. It wasn’t Until I started letting go of the fear. I definitely saw myself in this story. Thank you for sharing it.

[@Tamara-1970]

same here!

[@bekamoreno]

You are so right. Thank you for saying that!

[@mkykta9140]

So so true...fear keeps us stuck.

[@austinlittle1638]

Good story, very inspirational. I relate to this one more than others I've heard. I'm the only person in my circle of friends and family that is so focused on health and wellness. And I'm the only one that is chronically unwell. There's this idea I've been hung up on for some time now and that's, "well, yeah I still feel bad, but if I stop all the supplementing and fixation on diet, breathwork, blah blah blah, then I'll feel REALLY bad." I have no evidence to support that idea.

[@mkykta9140]

You haven't yet provided enough safety for your brain to cut back or stop the supplements. Baby steps to progress. You can do it.

[@zeusthegreek4664]

Thank you. 🙏🏽

[@briechilli4496]

functional medicine was the worse experience for me, my blood tests were perfect yet i was put on the most ridiculous strict radical diet and 22 supplements and i went downhill from there. I wish I could sue him.

[@CherryLane-si1yj]

Yes, same here. Thousands of dollars down the drain. I sympathize with the bitter feelings and have journaled about them at great length. Have finally reached a place of forgiveness- of myself mostly. One of the biggest wins for me was a return to eating whatever the hell I want.

[@austinlittle1638]

A big part of my journey has been letting go of the resentment I had towards the medical community.

I can so empathise I had heart palpitations, fast heart rate and being terrified to move as I felt my heart rate. I took beta blocker but tried to come off bu halving my 1.25mg bisoprolol heart rate went mental woke with adrenaline surges 160bpm heart rate. Went to hospital heart was fine. My heart rate is much better and normal but I’m terrified to stop the last 1/4 of the 1.25mg dose incase the same thing happens again. It happened every night or so for weeks but settled so decided to 1/4 and it happened again but eventually settled so I’m now stuck. I was left prettified every day for months. I had to relearn leaving the house everything was a huge danger. I am a lot better but I now get weird nerve sensations and heavy body feeling. I can lift my phone at times and it feels like a boulder. Even walking can do it. I believe fear has messed up my perceptions so I need to keep doing things but staying calm until it decides to believe I’m safe

[@kateking3953]

I had exactly the same heart stuff after covid, and have had bisoprolol 1.25 for four years. I got to a point where I stopped taking it in 2021 and then got covid again and it all came back. I got to a point where I would take one every other day, and then every two days. I can identify and empathise with the leaving the house thing. Just soldier on with it all - things do gradually calm down. xx

[@1STLUCKYB]

Why not scrape a bit off

[@kateking3953]

@@1STLUCKYB Titrate cardiac medication in consultation with health practitioner, not according to suggestions online.

[@sherylmarshall1444]

@ thanks I have thought of that but wasn’t sure how to judge how much I scrape off so considering stopping over 7 weeks by not taking it one day a week until I eventually am off

[@kateking3953]

@@sherylmarshall1444 Hi Sheryl, you will have seen mine above I expect. I've worked in medicine, and 'scraping bits off' medications does not work, and is potentially not a good idea! Try titrating it down gradually. Pick a day when you don't have to go anywhere or do anything stressful, and don't take your bisoprolol. Are you taking 1 a day? Don't take it, don't think about it, and see how you go. If you start getting a higher heart rate, lie down for five minutes and breathe calmly, and it settle. You know you have them if you're really struggling. Then take 1 next day as usual. It's not sensible to stop cardiac medicine cold turkey if you've been on them a while. Then on day three or four, try again. It will take a while for your system to re-adjust, but it will happen. I've done it. But because of my medical background I knew to do it sensibly. xx

[@luiscrespo9902]

By the way, I'm not sure that such thing as "long COVID" exists.

[@briechilli4496]

I am thinking the same.

[@1STLUCKYB]

Agree. Post viral usually 6/8 weeks healthy body. It's a pharma thing too

[@kayoss2306]

It's the same thing as M.E/CFS which is often post-viral. The initial infection is gone but the body can't switch off the signals of malaise, pain, brain fog etc. It's much the same as how TMS can result after a real injury, but the body keeps sending pain signals after the body has healed. Usually because the nervous system is chronically stressed.

[@bkbarbarakane]

Can you explain more about somatic tracking and where I can learn to practice it? Any suggestions? I have ME/CFS for 22 years now…

[@ezza1236]

It dosent, it’s all from mass hysteria and fear

[@1STLUCKYB]

Jabbed/booster or not? Why doesn't anyone just say so

[@kateking3953]

I got covid in March 2020, and had the whole heart/POTS/blood vessel thing within a couple of months of recovering from the virus. There were no vaccinations at that point, and I'd previously been very fit, active and well. I had no reason to believe I would get 'long covid' as it hadn't been heard of then, and with a background in medicine I didn't have a lot of amorphous fears about anything. The post-covid picture is likely to be much more complex than 'just' TMS. It's going to come down in the end I think about residual viral infection in some people, in the same way that herpes can be retained and manifest as shingles. I'm sure there are TMS elements once the problems manifest, because they're disabling and frightening.

[@aliciaspearin6720]

I never got the jab…but I still got Long Covid in early 2022…still struggling with it today!

[@robertwilliams5618]

Thankfully I have never gotten the job myself however that is not stopped me from having a lifetime of severely disabling issues
