Great interview! One big problem with the recovery programs in general is that they are expensive, very expensive. When in situation of me/cfs or long covid, it is a lot of money, possibly much more than what we have available. I'm thankful that people like Raelan makes this information available for free, not behind a paywall. Thank you!

I agree. Like most folks dealing with a chronic ilnees Ive spent thousands of dollars on doctors visits, two different brain retraining programs, hbot, supplements, etc. All have helped in their own way but none was a cure. I truly believe the cure is within us and I do feel like Im making progress after 19 months of LC. Raelans page has been incredibly helpful and hopeful. Thanks for being a light in thendarkness.❤

Yes! I wish this was talked about more. I still have bad days with this after seventeen months. I cry every day. It’s so horrible.

I am also at 2 years post covid. I woke up having my very first panic attack and had no idea what was happening. I couldn't catch a full breath which was the worse. I had a terrible 5-6 months of light sensitivity, sounds and food sensitivities as well. I was an athlete before this. Fatigue hit me as well. My nervous system was a wreck and i felt like my body was on high alert! I developed chronic anxiety which was hellish. It was like i had died. I had to let go of the old me and fight to get some of my wonderful life back. I started brain retraining and it helped me right off. Our brains are amazing! I seen a lung specialist who tried to tell me i had covid asthma, which I didn't, i was having panic attacks! At the 6 month mark i developed the off balance, feeling like i was on a boat and it was horrible. I went to PT for it and she started crainial therapy. It gave me some relief. Its been a long journey that is almost at its end. I still have some symptoms but i am healing! Your videos and others have been so helpful in my recovery. Thank you for all your hard work.

Loved the interview as always. Sadly there isn’t “ a pill” that can fix this but there is so much we can do to help ourselves to heal. Diet, sleep, meditation ( or whatever floats your boat to relax) sunlight, nature, what we are saying to ourselves ,daily, how we let others affect us, people pleasing, setting boundaries, general self care, all of this and your wonderful channel of inspirational stories and interviews can go a long way to help. Many thanks Michelle for your positivity, “ if I can do it so can you” it really helps 🥰

Another Long Covid case here, jumpstarted also by vacuuming! In my case I was up on a ladder vacuuming cobwebs off the ceiling... 🙄Why did I think this was a good idea? 🤷🏼‍♀Anyway, it took about 2 1/2 years to finally feel that I was more or less normal again and actually could walk around without carrying a folding stool with me everywhere I went. Even now, 3 1/2 years later, I can get triggered by stress (vertigo, headaches, exhaustion) but I recover much more quickly. I'm very lucky in that I was already retired and that my husband is a great cook!

Thank you this has been very enlightening. I have has Fibromyalgia for about twenty years about four years ago I noticed that my stamina was decreasing. When I looked back over time I realized that I was unable to cope with travel as I had. Then at home my coma sleeps as I call then were happening after any exertion. Along with this my pain level was much higher. I have searched the internet for information and some was insightful but not helpful. Tonight I saw your interview with names gone sorry English doctor and it started to make sence my councilor had spoken of mind body but only now did it make more sense. I watched Michelle's story and though she did not mention whole body pain I felt some hope. I will watch more interviews and get your book and see where it takes me. Thank you.

Lynn! Look into the Lightning Process from Dr. Phil Parker. I made significant changes within 2-3 weeks and fully recovered within 3 months.

I became significantly ill about 9 or so months ago. I have not recovered yet, so I guess you could say that I am still in that learning stage of trying to educate myself with the many aspects of what I believe to be CFS and fibro. There’s so much more regarding my personal story and it would be way too much to post here. I am 65 year’s old, but a young chick living in a Senior World. I have been watching you for awhile and those individuals who share their personal stories that you have interviewed. I might be interested in sharing my story and experiences. Thank you for everything you do. You are helping so many people out there with chronic illnesses. This definitely seems to be your God given calling! Faye

There are some dubious videos circulating re Miguel B and his programmes. Might be worth checking out as I would hate to think that this could influence your credibility. Your channel has been so insightful, interesting and supportive. The videos seem to be about Miguel celebrating how much money he is making from his programmes. 👋

What was I saying? I've lost my train of thought....😂. I'm sure we all can relate to brain fog days! Great interview ❤

I had mold illness and then got Covid three times after we moved from the mold house. It’s been incredibly exhausting especially when I have three kids. I am so tired but I can’t sleep during the day no matter how tired I am since I have high free cortisol but low metabolized cortisol. I fall asleep soon after dark and wake several times at night. I deal with malnutrition and dysautonomia.

Thank you Michelle ❤

I worked the frontline during C0vid (nurse) and never got C0vid. I was medically Graped by my Governor and I am so ill every day I am now forced to retire.

❤Awesome share Michele, can so relate to everything you went trough and are still facing.. Thank you Raelan for having all these stories.. They do help, knowing your not alone ❤

I got covid back in March of 2020 and then developed long covid. I thought exercise was benefial since that's what you think you should do, but that was a bad idea. I couldn't lift anything heavy or overdo it without being hit with heavy fatigue for a week. The first year was the worst of all symptoms and I saw every doctor you could think of. In year 2 I basically just rested and tried not to overdo it and I felt closer to normal with some lingering symptoms. Then this year figuring I was past all this I had 2 replases due to stress. So even though I can do more physical activities I have to watch my stress levels as that's a big trigger. I don't think I'll ever get back to normal, but we just have to be more aware of our bodies capabilities and have a good mindset too like mentioned in the video.

@@RaelanAgle I think for a lot of people its just time that heals. For some its quicker than others. People don't typically visit channels or groups like this after they have healed completley. So you don't always get their story since they already moved on.

I try to drive and I don’t get the severe fatigue I get I guess panic attacks I don’t know what happens exactly my breathing becomes messed up and then adrenaline dumps begin and then I feel like I’m about to die. It’s awful.

Vitamin d, b1, magnesium, probiotics and eating healthy is what is helping me at the moment

Have you interviewed Jeannie Di Bon? Movement therapist.

I would Really like to know which programme she did that did not work for her. Its good to hear stories from these programmes that don;t work out as they are always telling u just the success stories. I wonder if it was CFS health. I realise diff programmes work for diff people.

As always, incredibly helpful Raelan, thank you for doing this. Would you be open to present these interviews as podcasts on Spotify for example? I tend to walk a lot during my recovery and love to listen to podcasts. Would love to combine the walking with listening to these interview about hope.

Absolutely, such a great idea, Vetstrakman. Thanks!

I know that lady she talked about blasting. She gaslights everyone, telling them it’s just their fear holding them back. She’s pretty toxic, telling everyone she just decided she was better so she was. In reality, she just recovered in time like so many do. And she believes it was just her ‘beliefs’ that were holding her back. She just recovered. That’s all that happened. Now she preaches to others making it seem like it’s their fault for not recovering. Anyway, glad this lady is better!

I became ill after the vaccine too but am now half way better. If it helps to know, first I ruled out other possibilities as my doctor refused to talk about vaccines ie blood tests and ct scan re MS, neck etc problems. I’ve taken a lot of supplements but think now, besides vit d and k2, others weren’t necessary, I got into minimalism videos ie minimal mom on KZread and found the videos relaxing and informative, whenever I could I decluttered to make my home even more manageable, I got a cleaner and still have her, I got someone to do meal prep as I couldn’t lift pans etc. I have recently done mind body connection sessions with Alice Bowley, (who Raelan has interviewed). I left Facebook groups that were negative. I recently watched a film re dr sarno and TMS. I understand the advice is to follow one path but I have found it fascinating to read and see the overlaps in what different people are saying about mind and body connections, it has also helped me find even more inspiring stories on KZread. I also changed my diet to paleo. I had a terrible diet before. I’ve lost fifty pounds. I also loved a book called cured which really spoke to me as due to feeling the vaccine had caused the problem but also wondering if it had started earlier, cured talks about the four pillars of health physical and mental, (apologies the book expresses this better!) and I gained comfort from knowing I had done what I could to check physical, sort diet etc and that now I was free to investigate nervous system etc causes. You say you are at peace so this maybe of no interest to you but I wanted to share in case something lights up and attracts you as an idea to play with. Take care.
