    The LDN did not work for a lot of folks, sadly. I'm coming up on about 3 years and 8 months of LC after the Delta variant tried to kill me and snowballed into over a 100 symptoms. I've improved but lost who I used to be. Apathy, herbs/supplements, and trusting God is the way I cope.

    People with these chronic disabling illnesses should allways keep hope . Beyond our perception, beyond all our efforts to become well is the brilliant, resilient physiologic machine we call the human body. Millions of years of evolutionary development is in all of us. It's how we survived countless prior pathogens and are still thriving today. Support the body with proper diet,rest, emotional support, physical activity as tolerated and give it time . The human body will be triumphant.

    I couldn't agree more that we push grief down, and try to paste a "Happy Face" on natural and healing emotions. I had 10 major griefs and losses -- including my health -- in one year. I'd run from grief in the past, which I know contributed to my symptoms. This time I went to a grief counselor - which was wondrous! I did a grief ritual, which released DECADES of grief. It felt like washing away old stagnant places. Grief became an old friend, and I now know how to grieve healthily. (It doesn't make it easy - grief can hit you like a tsunami - but I found it FAR easier to sit with it for a time than I ever did trying to shove it down and run from it.)
    I also LOVE that she too got back her dancing! I too loved to dance, and did it since I was in my teens, taking classes in everything from ballet to Afro Jazz as a young actor. Losing that for 20 years along with my health to what I told was CFS/ME and Fibromyalgia was huge. But no-one ever asked what had happened BEFORE all these symptoms. The answer was 19 major stresses and 4 traumas! Instead they prescribed pills that harmed instead of helping - disabling me for two decades.
    Until I tapered OFF benzos and an antidepressant prescribed for the pain and insomnia of MEFM - and to my astonishment in 6 months began to recover my health! It took me two years - but I literally went from crawling - my blood pressure was so "incurably" low - to dancing! By listening to mind and body, soul and spirit, I healed intuitively by 80% for 6 glorious years. I DO get what Melissa is saying about her ghost returning. I felt like all that makes me "me" - the soul selves who danced, wrote, functioned in the world - were torn from me wandering the Underworld. One by one they returned - and the bliss was indescribable!
    Alas, more inescapable stresses and the biggest trauma of my life came my way, and I relapsed.
    Then I discovered trauma research and healing work with Peter Levine's and James Gordon's books and videos, which helped hugely. Then the missing piece of my healing puzzle - mind/body work, brain rewiring, and calming the central nervous system. So many issues have resolved - though after 54 years of having "MEFM" it will take more time - but I feel SO inspired by all the people who've recovered completely - even long-termers like me!
    This time I hope to beat my record and recover fully! I already recovered from Long Covid symptoms myself. Thank you, Melissa and Raelan! The videos are SO helpful and inspiring. With your help and all the wondrous brain science out there and somatic tracking videos, complete freedom from chronic pain and extreme fatigue are now within reach! I've already climbed most of the mountain and the view is good from here. But the top is in sight - and I can see you all waving from up there!
    Again, many thanks for all you do, Raelan, and the wonderful people you interview who have made it through and out the other side.

    Thank you Raelan, for giving me space to share my story and providing us all with so much hope, support and possible solutions. And thank you to all the viewers who left such kind comments below. I've noticed quite a few questions about LDN, so I wanted to answer them in more detail here.
    I increased my dosage of LDN slowly from 0.5 to 3.0/3.5 mg over the course of about 6 months. I probably could have gone faster than that, but it was the timing that wound up happening with my doctor. I noticed the change when I hit 3.0/3.5 mg (sorry, I can't remember which it was!) I was having several days at a time where I felt really "normal". Over the course of the subsequent 5-6 months, I got up to 4.5 mg before I stopped taking it completely. That was the max dosage another one of my doctors had recommended.
    I noticed no difference in my health after stopping and just kept getting better. It's been about 6 months now since I stopped taking it. In that time, I've gone to Havana for 10 days of dancing, recovered from a covid infection, and embarked on my monthlong Europe trip.
    I hope this helps! Sending you all love and strength as you heal from this illness

    It seems that Melissa had a high motivation to recover because of all her passions and interests calling to her! It really does help to have a 'lighthouse' that beacons to you what it is that motivates you to put in the paces of your recovery plan. Also, having a testimonial on Raelan's channel and/or elsewhere can be a 'lighthouse' in and of itself as a marker for having made it to the other side.

      This is so true! I never really thought about it this way, because in many ways I blocked out dance from my life for nearly a year - it was too painful to face the possibility of never getting it back. But, it was an underlying motivation for sure - I remember telling my best friend that I was stopping dance so that I COULD dance again someday. I love the symbolism of the lighthouse - that's beautiful! ~ Melissa

Alot of things she said hit me to the core and gave me so much hope and motivation. I can't thank her enough for sharing her story. I've watched so many videos over the years but have never been so moved and connected. I held back tears many times. I am a former athlete whose identity was really tied to what i could do physically and the heartbreak of losing what you love and ultimately yourself is devestating. Not to mention the agony and constant fear of never getting that back. Thank you, Melissa for sharing your story!

      LDN, works. However, it requires the low & slow approach. Going to fast will give you bad dreams & not help. It's important also to use a reliable compounding pharmacy. When you do your research, you will see that the neurologist Dr. Bihari (who figured out it's benefits in the early 1990's). He noticed some people got better & those that didn't used a bad compounding pharmacy. Also, every one is different at when it will kick in & help. A women in England with MS took 2 yrs before her MS was reversed.

    Love this video. Ldn was really helpful for me too. But I also started cold plunging and breathwork at the same time so I'm not sure. Acceptance was huge and I leaned into the Buddhist idea of "identify" which basically is that who we think we are is very far from who we actually are and clinging to things that we have lost obscures the possibility of creating and rebuilding identity. I'm a different person now. I like who I am so much more post long Covid

    Bless your heart Raelan. I can't believe how much I need to hear someone say "life altering illness is devastating"... It makes me feel validate and brings me to tears. The grief is so real. One time when I was in a devastating down period, bedridden and all alone, I had called my grandmother and I told I NEED empathy. I told her exactly what I needed to hear which was "I am so sorry you are going through this; it is truly awful". I was distraught, and she really just could not understand how I couldn't just get on with life.

Mine were willing to read the odd article, and that ultimately helped them understand more - but they stil expected me to do everything I used to. I tried meds AND supplements, which did nothing or harmed. Only when I quit all medications and began facing the trauma, grief, and emotions behind the symptoms did I start to get lots better. Somatic tracking videos help hugely, as did Chi Gong, journaling, and walking in nature. Best of luck - people ARE healing by rewiring their brains and learning to calm their nervous systems!

      I believe that is the case. For example, the advice with mono or epstein bar is to rest for 6 weeks, and from what I have heard that if you do not rest you can have it for years. Sounds a lot like ME/CFS. I got my infection in 2014, and within a week I was like "well I should be well now; no sickness last more than a few days". I think then you are really stressing out your nervous system, putting it in survival mode.

      I suspect there had to be nervous system issues BEFORE we got Covid. My sister went back to work after 4 days with no issues. I went back after 5 days, as it felt no worse than a flu - and developed Long Covid. But I was hypervigilant from birth, as I was 3 months early due to a major car accident, plus being bullied as a child. Trauma was already trapped in my body and my nervous system heightened when I caught Covid. I'm over it entirely now, thankfully - but I did a lot of somatic tracking and trauma work with books by Peter Levine. Now I'm healing from 54 years of CFS/ME and Fibro - and feel about 80% recovered. What a challenge, but what beautiful work - and these success stories help hugely when it's difficult. Best of luck!

I got OFF benzos and elavil, prescribed for the pain and insomnia, and faced old trauma and grief - and now dance daily in ballet flats! Somatic mind/body work is a whole new paradigm of healing.

    Did your symptoms seem like Parkinson’s? Did you get tested for Parkinson’s? Please let me know🙏🏽

      I had Parkinson-like tremors -- large involuntary movements of my head and limbs, especially in response to stimulus (lights, sounds or socializing). I was not tested, as I felt sure it was related to Long Covid. These were some of the most emotionally upsetting symptoms. They have basically gone away as I progressed in my recovery -- though I get some minor muscle twitching when I overexert. I had them for about 18 months until I could really find my true baseline for energy usage (which was extremely low ).
