Sarah, you are a wealth of knowledge! Thankyou for the amazing videos you have put out. I am very happy to hear that your recovery has been going well. It appears that you have really made it priority and have been conscious of how to go about it. I wish you all good things in life.
Your videos are extremely comprehensive and helpful. I’m going through a health crisis very similar to long covid tho I didn’t get covid. Been at it for almost 1.5 year now. I wish I have found your channel sooner. Everything I’ve learned through the journey - you summarized it perfectly! Nervous system balancing, hydration, rest, diet, movement, healing from trauma, gratitude, sunlight, positive mindset. Health and healing is not complicated. I’m grateful for the journey as it forced me to stop and re-examine my life. Thank you for making these videos. Simple, practical, informative. I wish all the doctors would use it for their patients.
I found your videos really helpful and supportive. I'm into my fifth week of long covid -19, I have found meditation and deep breathing helps with my symptoms. I had my first oxygen session this week and this as allowed me to breathe and talk at the same time and feel more comfortable.
I have decided that this will be my last video (for now, at least). I am now around 90 percent recovered, and just want to encourage people that recovery IS possible. Using a holistic approach, focusing on diet, exercise, stress reduction, and mental health (all of which I explain in my videos), I have very gradually come to nearly full recovery, over the last several months, and I know others suffering with Long Covid can get there, too! Best of luck to all of you!
i think we all understand needing a break. Ive heard of many people on the reddit group "covid long haulers" say they got over there last bit of recovery my really forcing relaxing/pacing/meditating. Happy healing! im on somehwere around 80% after 11 months
How long did it take you to get to 90% recovered? Thank you so much! This gives me a lot of hope. I just had covid in Jan 2022 and early February my heart start racing and palpitations began...I realized during this high anxiety time that I was having long covid symptoms. I’m already doing some of the things mentioned in your videos, so hopefully I will have a success story, too.
@@conservativegirl3371 It took me many months to get to 90 percent. Everyone’s recovery is different, though. I hope you experience full recovery soon!
Thanks for this video, I can’t believe how much trauma and fear the media spreads about this, do they realise that people can develop symptoms out of fear
@Sarah Christine thank you for the information you provided in your videos. I’m a long hauler and my symptoms are predominantly sob, tachycardia and indigestion. I was wondering if we start counting time from the time of diagnosis or from the time of symptom exacerbation? I tested positive in January and I initially improved then I got worse in February.. thank you!
Hey Sarah, it’s nice to hear that your pretty much recovered. Would be nice to hear an update from you. I’m 4 1/2 months into long covid. Still have a long way to go but I will try everything in my power to recover. Thank you for you videos.
@@sarahchristine7869 sympathetic nervous system, please don’t research the news or any long covid stories, this is a trauma that is causing physical symptoms, live youre life, the body naturally heals itself. Our minds are so powerful that it can actually cause symptoms, have fun and make youre self happy
Hi Sarah, thank you so much for putting in the energy to share your experiences with long covid. Quick question. At this point, are you still finding that you still need to practice “pacing”? i.e., do you still feel vulnerable to PEM? Anyway, I tested positive for covid 5 months ago. I wish I had known about “pacing” much earlier; 4 weeks ago I started to feel like I was on the mend and joined a gym!! 😳 Huge mistake! I went 2 days in row to the gym; one weights, one cardio. A couple of days after I was in a state of fatigue far worse than it had ever been. Sorry to share this too but I think it’s important. Over the next 2-3 days my urine was brown. I read more about it and now think I was excreting myoglobin due to muscle tissue death. There is some research out there indicating mitochondrial dysfunction in long covid patients, specifically, a dysfunction in the area of fatty acid oxidation.
So sorry that you have experienced this. In my video on LC and exercise, I describe my experience & how I was able to incorporate exercise back into my life. At this point (2 years on) I do exercise daily, but am still very careful about listening to my body.
Hi Sarah - I recently found your video on the Perrin technique and found it very useful! You mentioned in one of the comments earlier that you're 95% recovered. Have you recovered completely now? I've been suffering with long covid for more than 2 years and about 90% recovered now. The problem I'm now facing is the inability to exercise strenuously. I can do mild exercises like yoga, pilates, brisk walks, biking slowly etc without any issues. The moment I do something that pushes my heart rate up for a decent amount of time, I get PEM symptoms. So, I have to be extremely careful about when to stop doing the exercise/activity. Are you now able to do strenuous exercises? Thank you for your videos, they are genuinely helpful!
Thank you! I would say that I am pretty much fully recovered. I still make sure I stay very in tune with my body and am aware of making sure I don’t overdo things. As far as strenuous exercise goes. That’s a hard one to measure for me, as I wasn’t one for really strenuous exercise even before I got Covid. I’ve always been into hiking and could do long, fast-paced walks before Covid, and have now worked my way back to that. But it has taken a long time. And if I do go on a hike like that I make sure I plan down time before and afterwards. I’m so sorry about what you’ve been through, and I hope that you get back to pre-Covid health really soon.
Thank you. I have been about 95 percent for a few months now. Just a bit of chest tightness leftover, and still have to be careful not do overdo things too much, but SO much better.
Hi Sarah, nice channel your story gives hope to all the people suffering. I wanted to ask you if you got the vaccine and what was your reaction on it? Did it worsen your symptoms ?
Thank you. Yes, I did have the vaccine. My osteo advised that I request Pfizer, which apparently is better for those suffering with CFS. Both times I only had 24 hours of mild flulike symptoms.

Hi Sarah, how are you feeling today? May I know if you had any gut issues like ibs/sibo after covid?
Where are you at right now? Did you add other options to your recovery protocol?
Hey Sarah, it’s nice to hear that your pretty much recovered. Would be nice to hear an update from you. I’m 4 1/2 months into long covid. Still have a long way to go but I will try everything in my power to recover. Thank you for you videos.
I am about ninety percent recovered now. Best wishes to you for full recovery soon!

I have been fully recovered for quite a while now (except for some lingering chest tightness).
