Letting go and letting God, can help, and certain forms of meditation or quiet reflection can help too. It settles the parasympathetic nervous system etc (which is hard to get at). I'm fond of the phrase "God helps those who help themselves" too, in that God can and does help, yet we need to follow regimes like those set out in the video as well.

I had symptoms for 9 month (but mine were after the v). My symptoms were: nocturnal anxiety attacks, very low tolerance to stress, inability to sit still, extreme agitation, racing thoughts, nightmares and depression. What gave me relief was listening to soothing music, Wim Hof’s breath work, ice baths and sadhguru’s meditations. One day I was desperate and and was searching on KZbin and ran into medical medium’s stuff. So i started drinking celery juice (16 oz first thing in the morning) followed by his heavy metal detox smoothies (banana, orange, cilantro, wild blueberries, spirulina and barley grass juice powder). After two months I felt like I had recovered. But there was till depression lingering on. I learned to make kefir at home and starters adding that to my smoothies. I think maybe the v really fked up my micro biome. But with the kefir the depression was gone. For the longest time, I would still think about the hell I went through and fking get scared. Those were terrifying times. I felt like I was in hell. I don’t wish that on anybody. I still think about it and I get tearful. To anybody reading this, please have hope. You will get through this. You have to give your body and brain a fighting chance though. Reduce inflammation at any cost, consume anti inflammatory foods, get plenty of sunlight and fresh air and PRAY!

I've had m.e. for at least 15 years. The differences between these two illnesses is very minimal. You should look into the work of " the open medicine foundation". They are a non for profit organization run by Ron Davies who invented the human genome project there seems to be several strands. Autoimmune attack on the blood vessels. Here you mention how oxygen is important. There is this thing in m.e. called the metabolic trap. The good news is, if Davies theory is correct, then the effect is immediate and can be reversed over a weekend. The lack of nitric oxide is part if the problem. Mast cell activation also stops blood flow and creates anxiety. So antihistamines will work. Look at the work of Dr afein... And also bob naviaux, a mitochondrial genius. You're doing so much right in my opinion but your instincts are correct, don't push, pace. This is gonna be cured thanks to Davies. He's trying to save his son who is extremely ill with m.e. His foundation started tracking the conversion to covid to long covid as soon as it happened because all us in the m.e. community know a virus and stress, once you pass a threshold, will take you out.

If you want to make sure you nasal breath the whole night. I recommend putting tape over your mouth (micropore 3m tape). I also think you should read or listen to “The oxygen advantage”. It’s a book about breathing and the benefits of nasal breathing.

[@harveydann7015]

Thanks William, i did try putting tape over my mouth but it's tricky when the old nasal passages get blocked up and then I can't breathe, i'm planning to give it another go when inflammation is slightly better and i'll check that book out too! cheers.

[@jamesbuckler971]

You are doing great, last hurdle is to stop caring. Stop caring that the symptoms have flared back up, stop being so determined to get rid of the last remaining symptoms because that sets you up for disappointment and over sensitised body scanning to detect if they are present or when they are coming on. This is a disorder that originates in the brain not body. The minute you stop taking them seriously they begin to dissipate, the hyper vigilance calms down so the brain relaxes this puts a stop to the fatigue!

[@harveydann7015]

yes! i needed a reminder of this. Thank you. I have stints where i adapt this way of thinking and it really does help, why i always forget and go back to constantly being focussed on symptoms is baffling. I find that i'll adapt to not taking them seriously and then i'll tire myself out from doing too much when feeling way better and then they'll come back on again, so there's still a balance between physical and mental which can be hard to maintain.

[@oliverbird6914]

Activation of the brain micrglial cells is hard to stop. You're right, visualiaing and keeping calm is correct. There's so many aspects to this illness, that it will have different expressions, just as breast cancer is a collection of different expressions. Anti inflammatories such as black seed oil etcwill calm the microglia. This is creating these sensitivities, PTSD like, as well as mast cell activation which can be tempered by anti histamineid also recommend Dr Perrins lymph drainage. Often backflow of lymph into the brain causes the inflammatory response in the brain. This can help really well too.

I think for me getting out of bed right away, if I dont I lie in the mess of my despairing ruminations. As for stress and Anxiety, stayig with my ex and trying to sell our flat, the stress has been off the chart and my sympttoms flare like a oiil rig burning off gas, As a result my list of symptoms grow worse and extend, tinitus, sinustis, headaces, dry eyes, sore ribs (which is a new and strange one) buring leg and arm and chest muscles,, especially if I go for a walk, any walk and a wee skin rash and pimples (which I think were the first signs). Anyway enough of my woes. Dont know if you have spoke about diet, beyond the sugar etc (which I had last night and was in athritic angoy today), do you follow and anti hisitmaine or ant anti-inflamatory diet.
