    Wonderful! Angela our stories are so similar, even in terms of time. I'm also moving on with my recovery as I'm a functioning person now, and I'm so grateful for cold plunges and all these wonderful techniques and people like Suzy helping us in that journey. Thank you thank you thank you! 💕

    Thankyou. Although you are ahead of me in your recovery, your story is so familiar - the uncertainty of the first several months, the depths of the most awful bits, and the self discovery when you see the road out of it. Keep up the good work!

    I really connect with your story Angela, my symptoms got worse months after infections. For the first year I felt alone, super anxious around my symptoms & health, panic attacks which I'd never had before. Living alone made it much worse. After finding 360mindbodysoul & the contact with other LC sufferers I started to slowly recover bits of me. Almost 2 years on I'm much better, still have some issues but 🤞they'll reduce.
    I've learnt to listen to my body. It's life changing, but for the better.
    ❤ to you.

    This is an absolutely inspiring and heart warming video, thank you! You are so genuine and authentic, I really appreciate this. I need to watch it slowly again to gather all of the tips. A big learning is asking the 'why' of the illness... which goes beyond the 'why me' and looks further into 'what led me here'... Thank you

    I cannot believe I just found you on UA-cam, I've had long covid for 8 months now - a mild case compared to many (dysautonomia) but still somewhat debilitating. I have begun some of the mindfulness and breath work and, of course have been to many docs and am taking several supplements. I can relate to so much of what you both say in this interview. I just subscribed to your channel. Can you provide a link to your classes, and wherever else this community connects?

    I’m so excited to hear your story. I feel like my journey is very similar. I’m also a part of the Canadian long haulers site and I’ve had to escape it because of the “pit of despair” feeling of it. I refuse to have a victim mentality and have learned how to love and heal myself too. Long Covid has been a challenge, but not totally bad thing. Thanks for sharing your inspiring story.

      I'm a xovid survivor too..thank you for this! I didn't know what was happening! I felt utterly incompetent and was having panic attacks that woke me in the middle of the night..I mean there is a lot of pressures too in my life right now and the combination was overwhelming! I'm not on FB. But now at least I have answers. I don't have Health Ins so I self treated covid and it took 2 months to be able to drive and really function..but I'm here. Keep up the great work!!

    Thank you so much for sharing your story you give me so much hope. I’ve been struggling for 11 months and feel I’m on the verge of pots. I’ve been listening and watching you Suzy and I’m desperately trying to control my anxiety which is all consuming. I know understand I have to rest. I’ve also registered to join the fern program thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

    This is so similar to my story....... Been sick for 14 months now.... I herniated a disc around the same time I got covid so I was always thinking how can a herniated disc do all this ... Just been diagnosed with dysautonomia and long covid.... I'm kind of relieved because at least I know what's going on now...

    Thank you! I started having panic attacks a few weeks after having covid. I also just turned 50, so I thought it was peri menopause hormones. I wonder if covid played apart. One year later, after doing many things to get better, and I’m still not 100%. How do I join the FB group? 🙏🏼❤️

    • @caivail4614
      @caivail4614 10 місяців тому +1

      I know it sounds backwards, but very incremental cold exposure actually long term helps Reynaud’s (I have it too). Start with just hands and feet and face (a bowl of cold water or a removable shower head) and only cold (not icy) water and not to pain or numbness; then just keep consistent and do it more days than not. I don’t want to give unwelcome advice, but having Reynaud’s and learning about cold exposure, if it helps anyone to see this, look into it!
