He mentioned that stopping low dose naltrexone (which he said was helping him) coincided with his relapse. Seems like an important detail.
It's nice to hear from people who're still on the journey to recovery. I would also love to hear some more FULLY recovered and back to work, sports, life etc. stories though!
Buy buy buy
@@charlesfuchsRAELAN!!!! can you ban this guy from the channel? Not for censorship. But he is very unkind and kind of an unlikeable joker in the comments. Downing everyone’s energy. Probably gonna reply to this with “sheep” or something. LOL.
There are lots of awesome videos on this channel that tell this story! They helped me get back to running as much as I want each week in the mountains and back to full time construction and rock climbing. Recovery can be slow but I think I am stronger than I was before I was ill and have many more skills like the guest mentions in this video. It’s a blessing in disguise
@@drew2685 pay the money
@@drew2685 Amazing, congratulations! Mountains and climbing are what I miss most. Are you going to do a video yourself??
Hi, Vancouver neighbour! 🇨🇦Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m also seeing slow progress with pacing and LDN.
Always be yourself, because everyone else is already taken!
Long COVID forced me to put myself FIRST: self-care, nutrition (all domains), pacing, boundaries. There was no other option. A silver lining!❤
I'm at the point you're describing this very morning, thanks for a very timely video. It's so frustrating, but you have to learn to love your fate and embrace it, it's the only path out.
Thank you Raelan and Dermot ☘️.When I saw the cap I knew you were a Paddy 💚
Dermot I am originally from Ireland and having lived here in Canada now for almost Fifty years
One may adapt to the new country in many ways .But for some or alot of us our country of heritage still leaves a strong imprint in our personality .
Now a retired nurse and after so many years of shift work and on call with a lot of responsibility placed on me became of my choice of work environment.
I got very worn out and did not listen to my body ..I believe it was a precursor for me getting so Ill with Covid plus a few more factors.
I find the boundaries issues is one of the hardest to enforce.
As us Irish are very sociable people.We love to make people feel welcome.Its just who we are as a people.😊
I am still going through Long Covid since Spring 2024 😞But I am improving...I believe pacing is one of the most important aspects to this illness.
Saying No to people and certain situations is of upmost importance.I am also finding others things that are helping me...Its a very personal journey as you have mentioned.
Be kind to Thanking you for sharing your experience all the best with a full recovery.🙏
Blessings to you your wife and your expected baby.
Gerri on Vancouver Island
☘️🙏☕
Oops .I meant to say ..Be kind to yourself Dermot.Look after the Mrs.😊
Loved this, a gentle walk together through the journey and not a monologue of sickness. (I hope i can do that when i finally come on!!Though nerves might make that harder.) Yes, make stickers and t-shirts and sell Raelan merch! Haha. Also Dermot, try to actively envison a wonderful time with your baby and wife and try to interrupt the catastrophising thoughts. Instead of what if...negative, think what if...positive. in fact, imagine the best possible outcomes and imagine them in detail regularly. This is brain retraining.
And can we stop using the word 'selfish'? It's not selfish to show self-compassion or self-kindness, place healthy boundaries, or use our voice to speak ❤
Really great interview. Something that comes to mind is that the 'what if' thinking is going to cause anxiety which may not help
I love the honesty and straight forward way Dermot talks with a flavour of humor. Hope you find a way to consider the special moments and bond you will have with your baby, getting to know this little bundle of love!
Thank you, Raelan and Dermot. 😊
I'm on Low Dose Naltrexone too and it's helped the daily headaches and brain fog, which has been great, but it's only very, very, minimally helped with energy for me, of course we are all different. All the best Dermot, especially with the arrival of your precious little baby. I hope your energy returns to it's fullest soon. Blessings to all. ❤
It's. Helped my fatigue but doesn't help my chronic muscle tension
Keep buying
@@charlesfuchs ldn does help but not cure
Omg send me the files and I will edit it to make that video of everyone saying they learned a lot and wouldn’t trade the experience!! ❤❤❤ Will email you!
Lots of takeaways. Thankyou. I wish he'd mentioned what kind of breathwork. Because I feel there are so many kinds and each with different objectives even opposite purposes. Thanks for the links.
another brilliant interview thanks Raelen. your channel is my therapy. 😍
You're so kind, Liz! ❤️ ❤️
Low Dose Naltrexone is also part of my recovery plan but it’s been very helpful it that it’s brought my inflammation markers back towards normal range. I’ve been on it for a couple of months and I’m feeling the benefits of waking more refreshed in the morning. It’s only one piece of the jigsaw puzzle.
So true do you have much chronic muscle pain it hasn't helped with that
@@Truerealism747 LDN is a powerful tool but it doesnt address the cause of the pain - the cause is still the brain generating it - it can bring the inflammation down and put you in a nice place to then do more work with the brain and its learnt patterns
I'm still on my journey but breathwork, recovery stories, yoga nidra, and self compassion appear to be very promising.
THANK YOU 🌸
It is normal to worry. You can do it with the baby. I have experience with a very small child and cfs. I learned a lot of parenting things much faster, because I had to. And because of it we have a very harmonic beautiful relationship.
Had to smile. In several US states there's an ongoing phenomenon known as "midwest nice": polite, extremely friendly to strangers.
As related to setting boundaries
Lots of repressed anger and conflict avoidance with this that needs to be addressed. I was like this plus a people pleaser and I had to lots of work feeling the repressed anger and processing it, work on toxic shame, and becoming empowered (and feeling good enough) with good boundaries.
Thanks
Thanks so much for supporting the channel, Nancy! ❤️ ❤️
Makes you wonder if you can try to catch CFS early or you have to let it take its course hmm
I have thought about this. I think everybody has to go through the stages of shock/confusion/fear, anger/ grief, acceptance, before going towards recovering - maybe these stages are actually all a part of recovery itself. Maybe one can try to go through them quicker by gathering a lot of knowledge, but go through them, you will.
How much is low dose Naltrexone?My doctor doesn't prescribe it.
Hi there. In NZ, LDN costs $100, for a 3 mths supply of 4.5mg capsules, from a Compounding Pharmacy. My Functional and Integrative Dr prescribes it for me and recommends the LDN Research Trust website for good information about LDN. I don't know if you can get LDN cheaper elsewhere, but there are a list of prescribers for various countries on the website, and the lady who runs the website is very helpful if you need more help. Most conventional doctors don't know about LDN; it's mainly used by alternative practitioners. (Originally titrating the dose up was quite expensive for me, as it was prescribed in a tonne of 0.5mg capsules, but once I was on the full dose my Dr recommended, it was the price I said above.)
I hope that helps.
All the best.😊
You will never recover from this, you will care it all your life, first infection they you will make is back again...
Ai, that is so not true. Many people who have recovered have had numerous infections, flu's covid, and still dont get cfs anymore. Even Raelan told she got sick but didnt had a relapse. If yoi have a relapse it means that you are not fully recovered yet. And that is oke.
@@justbecauseican1410
Yes! I believe we can all recover. I am seeing myself getting a lot better, and I’m expecting to be recovered, and stay recovered, as well. Best to everyone! ❤
@@PeaceIsYeshuamy father has alot he his 89 percent he his now 75 I've had it 27 years but muscle pain now worst symptoms with ldn
If you believe you can't recover or believe you can recover either way you will be right.
Don't listen to this person who is spreading lies. Fully recovered people are fully recovered. Those who half assed it got half assed results.
