this is golden wisdom. As a doctor i can tell you, 99% doctors have no idea on what advise to give. I am learning how to recover from experience (long covid dysautonomia) AND most importantly from this community. This is deeply experiential science and wisdom. I refused to acknowledge that I had long covid and ended up cycling through multiple crashes and trying new supplements and got so much sicker and ended bedbound. Finally, it hit me. I had no choice but to stop. But even through phase 1, I didn't understand that as Erik said "the body will heal you not the other way round". I'm in early phase 2 now and am just about grasping this concept at an emotional level. And I'm so glad I found this channel and this video. Cause per my cardiology colleagues - I should be "pushing myself" lol doing "cardio". Im like nah bruh, I can barely walk. Western medicine doesn't understand this illness cause 1. the medical establishment refuses to acknowledge and or study most post viral complex illnesses largely because it lacks the conceptual framework to understand health through its narrow disease focused framework and cause curing isn't profitable 2. you haven't been through it. So I trust and listen to people like Erik and other so called patients. Thanks for creating such spaces and sharing such knowledge.
@ShadowSis
@ShadowSis Год назад
Phase 2 is so important!! My recovery stagnated for years because I didn't understand its importance, as soon as I could do more I started doing too much. The rule per day is: you need to give out less energy than you have, you shouldn't be exhausted at the end of the day (but naturally sleepy) and you should wake up refreshed the next day. You're building up reserves so you won't crash as hard. Only when you've stabilised and built up those reserves, can you start to push your limits bit by bit and have your body catch up to it. I'm currently between phase 1 and 2, but I'm so happy I'm finally getting it!

Erik is so sensible and thoughtful! This is a must watch. I love what he says about how the body heals itself (we don't heal it), and we just need to get out of its way. Love what he says about supplements and googling. And yes to honoring these 3 phases, and the importance of acceptance of where you are now to get to where you want to go.
@Mark1Mach2
@Mark1Mach2 Год назад
Agreed. I think the important thing is to let the body rest and recover. Slow Breathing and meditation with music helps. And of course some supplements. I find the hardest part is to come to terms with it and letting people understand ones situation.
@PriscillaThen
@PriscillaThen Год назад
Biggest takeaway from Erik: there are different phases of recovery that require different strategies for energy management and healing. In the last phase, it's not just elapsed time, but graded exercise. Thank you Raelan for such a great interview, and to Erik for your sharing experience and insights!

I like that he emphasizes that you have to spend a long time in phase two. I fully recovered from CFS 25 years ago and I spent an extremely long time at the same level of functioning. Then I rapidly start to feel better and was fully recovered in two months. I have long covid now and doctors tell me that your threshold slowly rises but in my experience it's been more stagnant. Based on his definition I think I'm in phase 2 but I would argue that for me pushing the envelope a little bit has actually been beneficial in particular with cognitive activity. But I will emphasize this has been after hitting rock bottom and slowly adding things in based on how my body felt ie avoiding screens for months and then starting with 5 minutes which takes a hell of a lot of self-control LOL

Excellent advice, I’m in phase 3 too and I can see how you have to be gentle with yourself and to let go of all expectations to move forward and eventually progress further to a more or less full recovery.

Thanks Erik and Raelan - I got a lot out of this episode. The concept of 3 stages resonates with me now you mention it. I am definitely in stage 2 at the moment. I am glad I listened to this though as I am trying to gradually increase my baseline. But, perhaps I need to maintain my baseline for a period like Erik suggests.

Thank you. I’ve had long covid 2x. It went away with rest the first time after 4 months on its own. 😊 But this 2nd time I’m on month 10 with sooo many more symptoms. I love to watch these videos of recovery. Also, relapse is a real thing I’ve been through it many times when you try to do a lot more because you feel better and than boom you are hit back down to feeling like it’s the first month of long covid. All of us who have this are very strong whether we realize it or not. My autonomic system went haywire from hearing a big dog bark for 3.5 hrs 2 months ago and I got hyperacusis. Has anyone else gotten hyperacusis while on this journey? It makes noises sound 20x louder than they should be and the nervous system is going haywire. Trying to do cognitive behavior therapy for that while recovering from long covid now.

Great and hopeful video. Thank you! I’m on my second round of long covid 😕. I mostly recovered in about 14 months from LC after my first infection. I got covid again April of this year and now I’m in the thick of this condition again although I “feel” like I’m coming out of the worst part. So now it’s my time to not mess it up and be careful not to start pushing my body and brain too much to avoid these deflating relapses. One thing that I think it’s super important in getting better is not doubt that you will get better. Maybe not tomorrow, or next week or month but you will heal.

I think it varies a lot how many symptoms people have and how bad they are and how often they have them. I think it’s partly cause what people call long covid are really multiple disorders, of which some people have one, others have two, and yet others have a few on top of each other. So do you have autoimmunity on top of a reactivated herpes virus while still struggling with viral persistence of the sars-2 virus in your tooth or your bowels or in some other organ? Good luck with that. For others it may just be that they have blood clots which limit the amount of oxygen that can go into the capillaries. That is just a totally different medical condition. On top of that: some people had access to all sorts of medicines and supplements from early on with GPs by their side who were willing to try out new things, while others have none of those things (cause they live in countries where a lot of that isn’t available or cause they can’t afford it or cause they were naive and thought their body was gonna defeat the virus on its own) Just my two cents

I'm a lot less tired in the evenings, so I sometimes have no symptoms then. As long as I do literally nothing in that time I'll feel pretty good. But as soon as I try to read a bit the brain fog and tiredness comes. Maybe it's weird to say no symptoms when I still can't walk and have food intolerances. But I mean no pain, headaches, heaviness, and brain fog kind of symptoms, as long as I do nothing in the evening.

The phase statement is right on the mark for me. Got COVID in April 2020 one week after first vaccine. Severe allergic reaction to vaccine. I’m diagnosed with chronic hives from the vaccine. Allergy free before COVID vaccine, now allergic to half the items on six pages of allergy test. Was feeling almost well and working on allergy items by December 2020 and got a different strain of COVID. Everything tasted spoiled for 2 weeks. The COVID symptoms were migraines, fevers, sinus infection feeling, strep throat feeling, body pain, my legs below my knees black and blue, unable to be out of bed for 10 minutes and all existing health issues heightened ( neuropathy, fiber myalgia, sight and sound sensitivity). I am a survivor of HIV/AIDS since 1986. I really thought COVID was going to kill me. I feel I have started phase 2 from long COVID. Just turned 62. Looking forward to working my way through phase 2 and starting phase 3 by next year. Was wondering if physical therapy would be a good place to start on regaining some body and activity strengthening? Thank you so much for the 3 phase information. This will give me a verbal tool to use when speaking with my doctors. No doctors so far on my list really acknowledging long COVID. I hope this changes since all this information is being put out there by people figuring it out the best they can on their own. Take good care, Twyla

SOOO grateful for the LC OGs making these videos to give us, who have just started this journey, HOPE. Our bodies are very sensitive and anything can flare us up. I can't eat bananas, and I think tomato sauce from what I've felt when eating it. It's a hit or miss with other things, sometimes they hurt, other times they don't. Sometimes I can handle social interactions, other days I absolutely can't. The baseline talk is very practical and helpful to us all, so we can help our bodies and not prolongue our recoveries further.

My baseline was just feeling like I was dead all the time. After the 6 months, I felt like I was beginning to do more things that I was unable to do before. I had finally reached my baseline. Today at 10 months, my baseline is even better than it was before. So, my baseline every month is changing- For the better. I’m doing more and more. Feeling better but still not 100%. I do about 3200 steps a day sometimes much more. I hope this kind of answered your question.

Did you even watch the video? They did exactly that. Erik covers has a video on this topic on his channel too. I’d encourage you to watch it if you need more clarification.

@@tylerjohnson9957 I watched the whole thing - they just talked about phase one - but not defining it .... same with the other phases - at least not defining it as my mind calls definitions .... no I did not watch the other - a 2-3 second quick definition was all that was needed here - so these guys are not the ones to help me - they may communicate fine for others Every one needs a slightly different path ....

I'm in the same situation like Erik, now I feel better after 2 years , the first important thing is to cut STRESS out of your life + get good sleep( Melatonin suppliments)+ daily physical activity (start small and build your health back 🥰)+ find the right Diet for you because my diet is very restrictive but still anything that is producing inflamation in your body has to be cut off. Some supplements that helped me recover are those who help mitocondria repair becouse this long covid condition is really affecting all the body at the cellular level : Take a good amout of antioxydents, CoQ10 Ubiquinol( MitoQ10 is better), L-carnitine , Vitamin D, C(Acerola), E (+ get a lot of sunlight) , Magnesium, Vitamine B group, Alpha lypoic acid, NAC - N-Acetyl L-Cysteine ( for the blood clots) . I'm not a Doctor so check with one to see if you can take them. Good luck to everybody!
