Dr. Sally Riggs | Long Covid Recovery
США
Добавлен 6 янв 2022
Hi, I’m Sally and I help COVID long haulers who find themselves struggling alone in the dark to move out of extreme chronic fatigue and into recovery so they can find joy and meaningful activity again.
Despite what you’ve been told, recovery from Long COVID is possible.
It takes time, effort, and patience. But it can be done.
I know it’s possible because I was once there too (acute infection March 2020).
My turning point came in September 2021 when I started the Safe and Sound Protocol-a non-invasive behavioral neural intervention (delivered via audio) designed to improve vagal tone and flexibility.
Finally, my body transitioned out of constant immobilization and started to heal.
Suddenly, I had more gratitude and connection to others, more energy, way less brain fog, and was finally able to start working full-time again.
This has led me to my mission of helping others do the same.

Ldn?
forgive me what's your question about LDN??
@@sallyriggs465 will it work for any of these conditions
Would sgb work?
Can histamine intolerance new onset of food intolerances or getting headpressure from eating be from Covid as well
💯!!
I have Mild COVID in last week. Now I am not getting sleep at all.
That is completely normal. I had covid again end of March and my dysautonomia was kicked off all over again and some nights I didn’t sleep until 630am. All the same strategies apply.
Whether u come up with an invention or not..if you want to help people then u aant to help people...but if your doing it just for money then u miss the whole of inventing something like this for all of mankind...anything that heals people should be somd kind of affordable if your gonna charge. All people want os money today ..greedy!!
Nobody who works in healthcare is very doing it for the money!! There are far easier ways in the world to become rich… And every human deserves to be fairly compensated for their work, especially those who live with chronic illness, have trauma histories and nervous system dysregulation and probably spent far too much of their lives people pleasing!!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience as well as knowledge. I've been having vibrations throughout my body.Labs show a high histamine. On a low histamine diet but having more issues.Saw something about vibration causing hives.Was wondering if you have heard of these.Saw a Yale article on vibration as a symptom.Again thanks.
I also have pseudo seizures but haven't had a seizure in yrs.Wonder if relate?
Yes super common symptom!! I feel like there was a really helpful research paper published recently explaining why but sadly I had a reinfection recently so my brain is much again in terms of memory. But when I come across it again I’ll circle back and give you more details.
@@sallyriggs465Thank you I'd be interested. Hope you feel better soon.
Me!
If you go to www.sallyriggs.com it should pop up on the home page as a checklist/quiz for you to fill out!
And this is also were i feel the food sensitivity and histamine response comes in but also too that's what makes me Even further believe these things can come from covid,,,, look up a video called covid survivors explain dysautonomia and its the 5 min video cant miss it
Yes there is a strong relationship between Dysautonomia/POTs and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) which causes histamine issues (amongst other things)
Thanks for the videos and book
More than welcome!
You’re right! The nervous system is behind it all. I can recommend others with long or post covid to check out Nicole Sachs She has lots of podcasts on long Covid and nervous system disregulation as well
This protocol has left me with severe nervedamage in both of my ears, Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, Tinnitus, Vertigo and chronic ear pain that I still battle 18 months after taking the protocol. Although I EXPLICITELY asked if the SSP has any sideeffects, I was lied to that there are none. I was also gaslit and lied to that all of my symptoms were just signs of my "nervous system finally coming back into balance" and that they would subside in a couple of days. Which never happened. After that I was let down by my provider, received no help/support whatsoever and had to figure all of these symptoms out of my own. I posted my issues and my questions about the symptoms on several Polyvagal/SSP-forums and got emails from providers trying to silence me. My physician and audiologist were shocked when I told them what had happened to my ears and I continue to experience all of these symptoms 24/7 until today. Before taking the protocol I was in perfect health, not traumatized, had no mental health issues whatsoever. After taking the protocol I continue to face all of these health challenges (not to mention the mental and emotional toll and the severe loss in quality of life I am facing) on a daily basis. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PROTOCOL! Inform yourself and read all the other stories on Reddit from people who also experienced side-effects that they were not warned about. Protect your health and try another form of therapy.
First time here got infected January of 2023 got diagnosed with bacterial infection in my throat gave me antibiotics idk if they worked but as of august 2024 I started waking up again with dry throat and breathing problems and I feel like I’m being gaslit because they keep telling me changing seasons and weather but I’m in Texas have been since age 15 but I was fairly healthy before getting Covid and I hate my sleep being messed with haven’t had any decent since 2021 what do you think about the dry throat and waking out of your sleep thing ?
Yup all possible symptoms of Long Covid. We’re currently up to 211 possible symptoms. So sorry you’re not getting any support from doctors. Where about in Texas are you? Dr Robert Groysman in Irving (Dallas metro area) is incredibly knowledgeable about long covid and will treat people by telemed if you are further away.
@@sallyriggs465 hi thank you for responding also might be additional to terrible allergy season in Texas but I’m located in the Dfw area as well and right now I’m taking day quil and night quil and keeping sore throat spray on how hand but I feel everything is ramped up due to having Covid prior because allergies never affected me especially in the throat area
Hope that you are feeling better 🙏🏽
Thanks. It’s been a rough month but definitely getting there.
So you had long covid and made a full recovery?
I was about 97% recovered when I got acute covid again last month. I am still recovering from the acute infection but all indications suggest I’m going back to baseline.
@@sallyriggs465 ok. Thank you. I have been dealing with long covid for about 15 months and feel like I am never going to better.
@@Galilelo_Telescope I am hopeful you will. And the ANS is a big part of the picture! 🤗
@@sallyriggs465 what is ANS?
Dr. Riggs , are you still experiencing Long Covid or you have been fully recovered ❤🙏🏽
Unfortunately I just had acute covid again for the first time since March 2020. I am still working on recovering from that after 3 weeks.
@@sallyriggs465 Sorry to hear that! Covid cases has been increasing after Labor Day weekend unfortunately! Any ideas how you managed to get Covid again and was your symptoms mild?🙏🏽
I have been blessed to still never get Covid because I don’t be exposed by lots of different people on a daily basis and I also work and live alone and take precaution while going out in public and I don’t be in close contact and keep my hands aways from my face and mouth at all times 😷
Any idea what famotodine does exactly to help LC? I thought I was having some side effects to it so I stopped taking it.
It is evidence based to activate the vagus nerve amongst other things. It’s probably one of the most important drugs we can take but obviously check with your medical provider.
Thank you for this information it is very valuable. Every time I try to relax or go to sleep I get these jolts of electric making my neck or stomach muscles twitch. It also happens when I get startled by a loud sound or when I get stressed out. I then have to 'crack' my neck to relax. I have had a feeling that this is connected to the vagus nerve. I have also had a nasty bike crash and got a fracture in the neck so that is definitely also part of the puzzle.
Yup that definitely sounds like the startle response. You need to shake it out if you can or if not then do some orienting.
AWARD for the best-ever "watch to the end" rationale. (Likely also true: but, clever!)
I just got Covid and haven't slept in 3 days. I've had sleep issues in the past but have never gone 3 days without sleep. I tried Ambien which has worked in the past but it didn't work for me this time around. I also heard Ambien has been linked to dementia?
If you’re still in an acute covid infection it’s very normal for your nervous system to go into sympathetic overdrive and for a lot people this resolves naturally and doesn’t turn into long covid. If you have acute covid you should be home and resting 24/7 anyway so it doesn’t matter when you sleep. I recently had covid again and I had one night where I didn’t get to sleep until 630am and then I just slept all day. No biggy. Try not to be anxious about it and make it worse.
@@sallyriggs465thank you for responding. I’m actually on day 5 of no sleep. I feel super exhausted and it t feels as if my nervous system is on full on-mode. I’ve been trying to listen to meditation podcasts and although it slowly tired me I was never able to get into full sleep, just close my eyes. I do feel more anxiety than normal so maybe that is a big reason why I can’t sleep?Hopefully you may have more insight. Thank you Sally.
@@oriondragos5876 And are you then sleeping later in the day when you are tired...? Or you literally haven't slept at all for 5 days. No sleep at all for 5 days would be a bit worrying. What does your PCP/GP say? Also curious what meds did your doctor give you for the acute covid? Again just to reiterate that Acute covid and long covid are different illnesses. More info in this video here: ruclips.net/video/khKmJEvnU5E/видео.htmlsi=RNw4C8AtY5cpQuw-
@@sallyriggs465 I was able to get a bit more sleep albeit with the help of some sleeping pills. It's hard for me to fall asleep without help from meds since the past couple weeks. I used to be able to fall asleep after reading chapter of a book. Anything you recommend to help calm the nerves other than meditation? Thank you and sorry for the late reply. Haven't been motivated much
long covid for a year now. Brain fog, difficulty sleeping, GI problems, etc. Finally got into a long covid neurologist. I am now being ruled out for Lewy Body Dementia. (and by the way the neurology department can't get me back in for more testing for 5 months. Long Covid was bad enough but now this. Having trouble coping.
Unfortunately yes you are going to get far more helpful and up to date information from this channel and other on YT than from the majority of doctors 😞
wow these are things i have never heard anyone talk about because most of the other coaches in this sphere are NOT also therapists! (fellow therapist here).i have been telling myself oh i just need to push mhself and expose myself but it does NOT get better if i just try to do it anway and push through fear because it is really so much dysregulation.
for years i have held so much shame because i thought "i did this to myself by not trying hard enough/not doing enough/not pushing through my anxiety enough" - this was exactly what i needed. thank you
More than welcome. Definitely not your fault! And so glad you found this! 🤗
@@sallyriggs465 thank you so much
oh no i just found you and this makes me sad but also happy that you are walking the talk! putting you first! do you still stand by everything you have put on here? <3 or have your views on recovery changed? thank you for giving a different narrative to all of the LC world.
I still stand by everything here!! My book and course are still available for purchase!
i cant even tell you how appreciative i am of this perspective!!! for so long i have felt like there is something wrong with me bc it didnt work for me.
Upsets me so much the narrative of failure that these brain retraining programs push. Definitely nothing wrong with you!! 🤗🤗 you just need to learn, befriend and support your nervous system.
@@sallyriggs465 finding this alternative narrative that it really is not all just needing to think better thoughts or that im at fault has been a lifeline. i have this saved! thank you!!
Facts
Treatment? What treatment is available? Listening to music & sleeping? Hmmm - Cheers!
Actually we have lots of treatment for LC now ruclips.net/video/c_3x74LYz-s/видео.htmlsi=4--qHoREb6tj1bbq
Yes music can amp you up too but I always thought it was somatic. Psychosomatic. Excellent explanation!
We call it orthostatic blood pressure. Thank you.
Guess what. More Covid patients. It’s starting all over again.
Yes we have been in a major surge for several months. Do make sure you protect yourself!
I’m from Connecticut and I have long COVID. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you so much.
For providers in CT…?
@@sallyriggs465 Yes, thank you.
Same/ similar as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ ME
Absolutely, one of the main phenotypes of long covid is the ME type, just like you can get ME from other viruses.
Sally, have you ever had relapses where your nervous system get reset back to having constant fight or flight? I fully recovered for a year. Relapsed from food poisoning, I was 8 months in at about 80% recovered, I thought I was past this intense fight or flight stage but I ended up having two bad relapses in the past 3 months. One time seemed to be from from quitting cannabis and the other, two weeks ago, was from taking a probiotic...I've been housebound for 3 months, I'm so scared. Any tips?
Yes it is possible that getting covid again, other viruses, aggressive detoxes and other traumas can exacerbate the nervous system again. The secret if you have already learned and befriended your nervous system is that you shouldn’t have to do quite as much work to get it back on track again each time. I have definitely had relapses. And it’s about being kind to your nervous system and putting it first again:
@@sallyriggs465 Thanks so much for the reminder! I just ordered a copy of your book :) I've never got reinfected though. I think with the food poison and probiotic relapse, for me at least, confirms the viral persistence in the gut.
How do I book a call with you?
Unfortunately at this time I am no longer working individually with folks with LC. More info here ruclips.net/video/XoQ7Q-jUlL4/видео.htmlsi=nlGhQ8tC7XV3iYzE But my book and my online course are still available. As is my Facebook which will support you with both! Info in the description of every video.
I'm I going to get better from this
Absolutely Crystal you can for sure recover from LC.
Thank you 👍
Awesome site!
Wow - thank you for explaining why I've gotten nowhere with brain retraining. I've tried 3 different programs during the past 7 years and could not do the visualizations AT ALL. Now I know why - it's not because I'm a loser, failure, or in "limbic resistance." What I need is the bottom up ANS work - THEN reinforce rest and digest by creating new neural pathways with limbic training.
More than welcome!!! I wish more people were explaining this!!! It’s definitely not cos you’re a loser or a failure!!!
Also just a heads up my online course is gonna be on sale next week (Aug 19-25) so make sure you’re in my email list!!
Just found you! Oh my goodness! You are amazing!
That’s so kind of you to say! I so appreciate it 🤗
I becoming more convinced the covid vaccines have wrecked my gut.... it was sick with each vaccine shot. My GP vaguely suggested my vagus nerve wasn't functioning properly and that my digestive system was hyper sensitive. I developed Fodmap Intolerance, severe stress, fatigue and lack of motivation. Prior to, I had no problems. I have started doing vagus nerve exercises and also use tens on my ears..... I'm starting to feel a slight improvement. I will be refusing the vaccine in the future.
Sally, since you know so many people with long covid, could you please give your opinion upon my symptoms? I hope you don't mind me asking and I know you are not a doctor, but my doctor said she thinks I don't have long covid because my fatigue and PEM symptoms increased more slowly. I became sick with covid in October 22. I was super sick and dizzy. The dizzyness did not fade out and in February 23 I had really bad vertigo that lasted for weeks. My doctor diagnosed me with vestibular neuritis (an inner ear infection). I have gradually become more tired and less able to do things. I never really recovered. Most days I can do light chores and leave my house for a while, but that's about it. Sometimes I wonder if I suffer from chronic fatigue. I'm still completely unable to work. Intense fatigue is my main issue, next to dizzyness. I'm trying to think positive but I also do panic at moments when I feel so out of control tired. Yesterday I was feeling very fatigued and anxious about it but I pushed myself to see my family and I noticed my symptoms faded to the background. I'm just so insecure about what is happening to me and why I'm feeling this way. I am visiting a psychiatrist too and she seems to think I don't have PEM and I'm simply avoiding too much, wich annoyed me because I do try to do activities and ended up in bed for days because I was so exhausted from it. Where I live there is no care for people with long covid, only occupational therapy.
All of us have been gaslit a great deal unfortunately by the medical profession. Where are you located? I can give you some names of doctors that have been crowdsourced by people with LC as being LC friendly. There’s also a quiz on my website that helps you determine if you have long covid.
What is a person supposed to do? When someone has had this issue for decades and can't work how are they supposed to heal if the cost of this is 1000's. Why even share that this is out there to help if its not affordable for the people affected.
I don’t own the SSP so how much clinicians are charged to utilize it is not up to me. But I do believe everyone should be fairly compensated for their work. Otherwise we get into people pleasing and burn out and that’s a slippery slope to illness. The issue of funding people with chronic illness should be given to access evidence based treatments is also not up to me - that would be a political one and depend on your local representatives and voting and lobbying.
@@sallyriggs465no it shouldn't cost thousands. And the person who wrote that paragraph hit the nail on the head.
Absolutely 💯..what i was thinking..again only the rich get good treatments
@@sallyriggs465 yeah only the rich get treatments like this.
I really appreciate how you speak so calm as I feel quite overwhelmed and things often go to quickly arround me. Thanks so much for the good video.
More than welcome!
My psychiatrist thinks I suffered from a lot of stress leading up to covid. I think so too, several severe health problems, being left by my ex, felt really betrayed by my former best friend, struggled financially. When I got covid I did an internship at a very demanding place. Sometimes I wonder if it was the stress that made me sick like this.
That’s a very familiar story. LC is undoubtedly a biological illness but most of us were dealing with stressful things at the time we got it which exacerbated things, especially the vagus nerve dysfunction
If I try to do things, it just wipes me out. I did notice I was very stressed about my symptoms before the fatigue came again. I'm thinking maybe that is the way for me, calm down, before I can get back into the world? What are your thoughts on this? I really appreciate all your videos, it's a difficult journey to go through.
All of us have vagus nerve damage so we have to do some nervous system work
After mild covid , started experiencing below symptoms - severe anxiety, debilitating insomnia , frequent panic attacks made me stay closer to the bed for most of my day time, its irony that even when i could not sleep during nights , daytime sleep evaded me, along with few more symptoms like swallowing food , completing small amount of lunch used to take more than an hour , simply bathing after 15 days used to give me palpitations, even if I tried to go out I started filling sensitive to normal wind and gave palpitations , medicines helped me in majority of my ongoing recovery, CBT later on helped , So I think it depends on level of symptoms and I still feel when I was in abyss medicines armed me to fight against formidable foe
CBT for insomnia or something else? Which medications?
@@sallyriggs465 CBT only for Anxiety issues that too post Medication for Insomnia and other anxiety issues medicines included a medium term course of Clonazepam and Escitallopram SSRI , I was informed by my healthcare provider that SSRI would continue for longer period which I am still on
Wow everything you said really hit home hard. I had just fixed my sleeping schedule when covid hit me and it has been terrible since. By now I get atleast 5 to 6 hours of sleep at the very least but often at completely ungodly times. One thing that also helped me some nights was taking a shower before going to bed. I normally shower in the morning but if I lie in bed for hours unable to fall asleep the last thing I wanted is to be uncomfortable. I think it also helped with getting in that fight or flight setting some nights but that could just be projection.
Great tip! a warm shower, especially if you don’t have MCAS, can be helpful in inducing sleep.
The turn to app has been invaluable as a resource for me
That’s super exciting to hear. Amazing how fast things are moving! That app didn’t exist when I made this video.
My daughter has sensory processing disorder, and still doesnt talk. She is 3 years old, do you think it may work for her? How will i know if she is unconfortable if she doesnt talk?
So my area of expertise Juli is Long Covid and Nervous System dysregulation. I don’t really know much about sensory processing disorder so I wouldn’t really be able to say. I know a lot of folks who do work with kiddos use it but I couldn’t tell you best practices as that’s not my field. So sorry.
@@sallyriggs465 Thanks! Greetings from Argentina!
