This Has Messed Me All Up So Many Dibiltating Symptoms 😢
So sorry to hear that Dennis. Sending hugs. Hopefully you can get some info here to help you feel better 🤗
@@sallyriggs465 Thanks Dear 😞❤️🙏
Right there with you, bro. I've been to the ER 5 times in the last year and a half thinking I was having a heart attack. Everyday is a nightmare with severe dysautonomia since my covid infection in Jan 2023. I'm about to try 40 sessions of HBOT. I've already spent 10k on specialists in the last year. I hope we can get out of this mess soon my friend.
I never got COVID... but I did get 5X mRNA vaccine and I now have raging long-haul for over 2 years. Neuropathy so bad at times that I hoped I would just die in my sleep. Yet, all my labs were normal- no Lupus, no Lyme Disease, no auto-immune disease, a clean slate from neurology. Yup, I am a type A person, endurance athlete with a hx of C-PTSD so I am in that group of females most likely to get long-haul. Reading Dr. Riggs' book almost made me cry because it was the first real affirmation that I am not just a stressed out neurotic person- I have a real physiological issue rooted in a neurological dysfunction caused by some external "thing" that my nervous system is particularly sensitive to. My woes started after complying with the public health vaccine protocols in my area. I started getting sick, and sicker after each vaccine recommended for my age. But...I never made the connection, believing the vaccine would keep me safe. I checked 19 of the 28 symptoms set out in Sally's book intro ( + dozens more not on that list) and I clearly remember telling my doctor in the early days, that I felt like I had "total body inflammation". He just gave me a blank look when I said this- certainly no treatment. He thought I might have CFS- that was all he said before walking out. My symptoms largely mirror MCAS (despite testing negative for this) and RA (negative on this too.) I have exhausted the dietary and natural supplements route (with some improvement!) Eventually I suspected that I likely had a spike protein buildup from the vaccine that was causing micro clots and severe vasospasms- and I decided to do a spike protein detox. (Being a science geek makes you dig long and hard into the bona fide research to figure this stuff out. You get desperate- you try new things and assess them objectively and with an open mind.) It is now clear that I need to avoid this vaccine altogether, and move to the next level- polyvagal approaches to healing. After a week of using the "Nervous System Tracker", I am understanding my nervous system better, pacing my activity better and I am starting to see some positive changes, so this gives me some hope.
So sorry to hear you went through this 🤗 and I’m so glad that you found my book and it’s now making sense to you. I can concur you are definitely not making it up, this is definitely biological!
Preliminary findings? If the virus can fast track into the brain through the olfactory cranial nerve that extends into the outside of body within the nose, the other 11 cranial nerves which includes the vagus nerve. As a critical care nurse I’ve noted many symptoms of long Covid seem to be related to a number of the cranial nerves
I'm definitely feeling it. I have random times where things really annoy me and I get enraged. I try to relax as best as I can.
So sorry to hear that John. Polyvagal strategies can definitely help with the relaxation!
same here, broke my hand the other day!
@@Vidis88 oh goodness I’m sorry to hear that! polyvagal strategies can definitely help!
OMG!!! This is finally coming together in describing how my health has deteriorated since Covid began, despite my testing negative. ALL my symptoms point to Vagus nerve dysfunction, beginning the very month Covid hit North America, Nov 2019.My main challenge is my PCP has ZERO motivation to pursue any diagnosis, other than prescribe muscle relaxants.
Thankfully you don’t need a PCP to learn, befriend and calm your nervous system. Lots of info here…
Yes! This is the first time I’ve watched any of her videos & I feel like I’m watching a puzzle come together, with answers as to the seemingly random symptoms I’ve had since having Covid. I’m just sitting here in awe- after 2 years of digging for answers & now it appears that I have the answer to the WHY. Now to move ahead & find answers toward healing.
Oh wow, this is exactly what I've been dealing with for the past 2 years, I don't know what to do...
So sorry to hear that 🤗 Lots of info in my other videos about how to go about repairing the vagus nerve.
Go to this youtube video : "Vagus nerve reset -the most effective was to destress your body." This is by Dr. Renee Ostertag who is a pyschotherapist and a personal trainer. There are over 1 million views and over 2400 comments which say this is unbelieveable. It really does work.
What do you think about vagus nerve stimulation using a TENS device (tVNS) for this? especially the ventral aspect of the vagus nerve
I have personally never used a tVNS machine (or even held one in my hand). It is my understanding that they are well evidence based in temporarily stimulating the vagus nerve, but when you turn them off they do not create any lasting changes in the nervous system or in the vagus nerves flexibility or tone, unlike things like somatic practices or the safe and sound protocol which do create lasting change.
@@sallyriggs465 I guess its good in the sense that someone can do it for long periods in the background whilst being able to do other things (like watch youtube etc.) so it saves time
@@ZashVi-vt5de I mean if you are doing other things at the same time I don't think your nervous system is gonna get the same calming effect...
Thank you Sally. Had long covid for over a year, increased heart rate, more stress. Want to learn more
More than welcome John and so sorry to hear that. You’re definitely in the right place - lots more info on this channel!
I’ve had long covid since April 2020 and have been doing vagus nerve exercises amongst many other things. I found a slight improvement on the first few days of using vagus nerve exercises in 2021, just how sleeping became easier etc. Anyway I’m now doing much much better but still have a few things come up but taking it all as it comes, and just knowing about poly-vagal theory has made all the difference for me. Thanks for your informative videos!
More than welcome!
@Ryan, thank you so much for sharing this. It’s really encouraging to know vagus work has helped you!
So the e course alone is not sufficient without the ssp ?
That’s a great question! I don’t think we have enough data yet! I personally did both. But as people start with just the course we will definitely find out!
Preprints with The Lancet is part of SSRN´s First Look, a place where journals identify content of interest prior to publication. Authors have opted in at submission to The Lancet family of journals to post their preprints on Preprints with The Lancet. The usual SSRN checks and a Lancet-specific check for appropriateness and transparency have been applied. Preprints available here are not Lancet publications or necessarily under review with a Lancet journal. These preprints are early stage research papers that have not been peer-reviewed. The findings should not be used for clinical or public health decision making and should not be presented to a lay audience without highlighting that they are preliminary and have not been peer-reviewed.
Thanks so much for sharing. I believe all this info is at the top of the Lancet Preprint too.
Brilliant
This makes it so clear I got hit with a ventral vagus nerve virus!
So glad to hear this resonates with you Sally! 🤗
Great video
So glad to hear it resonated!
After getting a Covid variant in June 2022 I was diagnosed with Afib and CHF very low EF. My EF has improved by 5% every 6 months. After much research on my own after 14 months of constant persistent Afib I finally started to get sinus rhythm through a drug for just a few days but when reducing the drug mg I went back into Afib. Then I learned about trying a nicotine patch 7 mg for 6 days and after 2 days I went into sinus rhythm but now experiencing low bpm when sleeping. I’ve been in normal sinus rhythm now for 9 straight days. If drugs don’t help Afib ,a vagus nerve issue to the heart , and CardioVersion doesn’t stop Afib then the cardiologist or electrophysiologist seek to ablate the vagus nerve either on the inside or outside of the heart by surgery or catheter ablation. I am stopping the drug today which I reduced down twice to see if I now will remain in sinus rhythm. This is my story.
Thanks for sharing! So interesting how much the Vagus is implicated in all this!
Are you vaxxed or boosted?
No never was vaccinated.
I’m now 73 days in normal sinus rhythm after the patch treatment. Bpm has improved. Sleep has improved. Now the next phase is another Echocardiogram which should show how much that 14 months in persistent AFib was the issue with the congestive heart. I’m still in hypertension area in blood pressure. I never had heart issues before getting a Covid variant.
@@MarcMetz5 Never vaccinated for anything?
My vagus nerve damaged from autoimmune phenomenon caused by the JJ cov vaccine.
So sorry to hear that! 🤗 sadly yes that has happened to a lot of people. Essentially the same mechanism. Vax injury and long covid are very similar.
I have not been the same since jj Vax. Neuro symptoms. Could you tell me some of what you have experienced?
Shalom Shalom!
God i could write for an hour. I was really sick with long covid but over 1.5 years i had been trying different therapies and I got a little better. Came christmas and a piece of sht coworker knowingly came to work and i got sick again. Now everything is hell again.
I am so sorry Robson. Reinfection is awful and people knowingly spreading it right now is so vile. Sending hugs and hope you find resources here to help you recover soon! 🤗
Damaged from 1 vax never had the virus. Does food/drug intolerance count as a GI symptom and can we talk more about that… I’m jealous of people who even have the option of trying medicines and supplements I can only eat 3foods and it’s been over 2yrs. Meanwhile almost at anaemia levels and can’t tolerate vitamins. I stopped POTS and anxiety symptoms with diet and acupuncture but where to go from here… 😢
So sorry to hear that Stephanie. I am not a physician so I can not give medical advice or make a diagnosis. However my best guess would be that food/drug intolerance would be related to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Something very common with LC but like I said I can’t give medical advice. Hope you can find someone who can help. Hugs 🤗
look into glutamine powder as its helped me loads with stopping the damage that's in my stomach from autoimmune issues. I take 20g of glutamine daily morning and night. I hope you get better I know its horrid when you cant eat anything as I have been there and was very bad. another thing that helped me is benfotiamine as my beau's lines finally disappeared off of my nails and get way less symptoms of multiple immunes issues.
Sounds like MCAS. Try eating a low histamine diet. You might be able to add a few more things. Also time in nature and Qigong help. Brain retraining also to get body out of the sympathetic mode fight flight freeze. Take care.
@@revelation1215 i definitely agree that moving out of sympathetic is very helpful. I’m not sure brain retraining can do that though! Check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/Tbtx38967p4/v-deo.htmlsi=UbLpZ1i4lTCj0qs0
I’ve developed gastroparesis and reflux, how can I help this..I’m sure it’s from the vaccines 🥲
heart palpitations (flutter) bad gas and stomach/liver pain ----> slippery elm bark (holland and barrett) and cayenne pepper in your drinking water (1/2 tsp/L)
Is there some research that this advice is based on..?
Absolutely not working for me.
Why do people keep calling it long covid and not vaccine injury? Please tell me how you decided which damaged the vagus nerve? You look at one spike protein and not the one built by the mRNA? I never had covid but issues immediately after the vaccine. They appear to be vagus related. Thanks for the informative video.
Many people do get vaccine injury. Many people get sick from an acute covid infection long before they ever had a vax (or one was available). Acute covid damaged my vagus nerve because I was sick in March 2020 and never got the vax until February 2021… Simple timeline math.
@@sallyriggs465 thank you
@@troyfly71
Yes, much of my family and friends were vehemently against the vaxx, and a couple of us did get long covid simply from this awful virus. I’m so sorry the stupid vaxx has harmed you like it has so many others. 😔 I hope you’re getting better. 🙏🏻
Not vaccinated and I have LC.
I can believe anyone is still talking about covid instead of how bad those jabs are.
If you are referring to vaccine injury then yes that is a very similar mechanism to Long covid and pretty much everything the applies to people with Long covid also applies to those with vaccine injury.
@@sallyriggs465 That's not what I meant, but thanks anyway.
You won't know how much misery covid can cause you. I'm not vaccinated and caught covid, I wouldn't want to catch it again. Some people won't get sick but they'll be shedding. I think it's the older generation that suffer the most from covid.
Well done not getting those terrible jabs. I think you probably dodged a bullet there, how ever bad you got covid.
Some day we’ll know the truth of the pandemic.
We surely will. And sadly many of us know far more than we ever imagined we would need to even now…
The truth will never be revealed and if it is nobody will trust it.
@Revelation1215 (great name!),
I feel like we already do. It was man-made. I believe it was done for many evil reasons all leading up to the WEF taking control. We’re seeing the book in your name all coming together now. The stage is set. I’m looking for the soon return of Jesus. If I don’t recover from my illness, at least I know He’s coming back soon! 😊🙏🏻
