I started a new project this week.. my aim is to try and paint all of 1 number each day for a whole week until it’s complete 🥰 I’m really enjoying it and finding it very relaxing, but it’s bizarrely tiring too! #paintbynumbers #paintbynumbersforadults #longcovid #longcovidrecovery #longcovidtips #mylongcoviddetour #longcovidawareness #longcovidcommunity #longcovidteens #longcovidteenagers #longcovidrecoverytips #longcovidfighter #longcovidjourney #longcovidrecoveryjourney #longcovidwarrior #longhauler #chronicillness #health
I did some painting and drawing earlier! 🎨 I’m also making some #palworld trading cards hehe just for fun! Definitely had a major crash afterwards and am resting now - while doing this, my heart rate was sitting around 125 😅 Overall, I’m just super grateful to have gotten out of bed today! 🩷 #longcovid #longcovidrecovery #longcovidtips #mylongcoviddetour #longcovidawareness #longcovidcommunity #longcovidteens #longcovidteenagers #longcovidrecoverytips #longcovidfighter #longcovidjourney #longcovidrecoveryjourney #longcovidwarrior #longhauler #chronicillness #health
I’m going on a restful holiday with my family for 10 days later this week ✈️ so we’ve prepped my morning & night medication for 2 weeks so I don’t have to take all my boxes and bottles with me 😁 I could never keep track of what to take and when until we got these pill boxes! 💊 (I’m turning off comments for this topic tip, as I can’t give medical advice… I get mine from my private Long Covid doctor 🌟) #longcovid #longcovidrecovery #longcovidtips #mylongcoviddetour #longcovidawareness #longcovidcommunity #longcovidteens #longcovidteenagers #longcovidrecoverytips #longcovidfighter #longcovidjourney #longcovidrecoveryjourney #longcovidwarrior #longhauler #chronicillness #health

🧐 One of the most difficult things about living with *multiple* chronic conditions is figuring out which disease is causing which symptom, am I right? 🎤On episode 121 of the Arthritis Life Podcast, nurse practitioner Dr. Christine Stamatos helps unravel the difference between often-overlapping conditions: fibromyalgia, chronic pain, rheumatic disease and long COVID. 🌟 Christine specializes in non pharmacological methods to manage chronic pain and runs a long covid and fibromyalgia clinic - she's also the past president of the Association of Rheumatology Professionals (a sister professional organization to ACR - American College of Rheumatology). ✅ Dr. Stamatos and I discuss the best evidence-based lifestyle adjustments to manage rheumatic disease, fibromyalgia and long covid, including sleep, stress management, exercise, nutrition and more. Dr. Stamatos also explains how and when medications are used to treat these conditions. ✅Listen on your favorite podcast player, or the Arthritis Life website, where you'll find a full transcript, video and detailed show notes!

Often when I’m fatigued I find it tricky to know what to do with myself. Today, me and my Mum made these tables so that at a glance I can easily pick something to do. The grid format is easier for me than trying to read a list and we’ve separated them into 3 categories of ´Home Days’, ‘Tired/Painful Days’ and ´Time With The Family’. These are now on the back of my bedroom door and it is helping me not to feel so overwhelmed or lost when I’m trying to fill my day 👍 #longcovid #longcovidrecovery #longcovidtips #mylongcoviddetour #longcovidawareness #longcovidcommunity #longcovidteens #longcovidteenagers #longcovidrecoverytips #longcovidfighter #longcovidjourney #longcovidrecoveryjourney #longcovidwarrior #longhauler #chronicillness #health
Todays event… baking!! 🧁 I started off strong and managed to get as far as putting jam in the middle but crashed before I could make the icing (sorry family!) 🙈 I sat down the entire time and didn’t use the electric whisk as to not hurt my arms ❤️ A slow pace is good and it’s important not to create PEM where possible Extremely happy though as I like when I can do an activity that keeps me off my phone as on my bad days, I can end up doomscrolling the day away 😅 Did you know it’s the International Long Covid Awareness Day tomorrow? (15th March) 👀 #longcovid #longcovidrecovery #longcovidtips #mylongcoviddetour #longcovidawareness #longcovidcommunity #longcovidteens #longcovidteenagers #longcovidrecoverytips #longcovidfighter #longcovidjourney #longcovidrecoveryjourney #longcovidwarrior #longhauler #chronicillness #health
Another slow day, I just can’t pick up any energy at the moment! I did add these super cute #lego succulents to my collection though 🤩 #longcovid #longcovidrecovery #longcovidtips #mylongcoviddetour #longcovidawareness #longcovidcommunity #longcovidteens #longcovidteenagers #longcovidrecoverytips #longcovidfighter #longcovidjourney #longcovidrecoveryjourney #longcovidwarrior #longhauler #chronicillness #health
My #longcovid tip today is something my Mum thought of when she saw me playing on the Xbox one day.. Some days (like today) my arms hurt so much that I can’t do everyday things.. even eating with cutlery can be too painful. My arms ache and feel SO heavy 🥹 It’s a simple idea, but putting pillows under your arms when you’re playing means that you only have to move your fingers rather than focusing on holding the controller and keeping your arms up! So after a hard day where I’ve barely managed to get out of bed, I’m now enjoying some relaxing #minecraft time 🎮 #longcovidrecovery #longcovidtips #mylongcoviddetour #longcovidawareness #longcovidcommunity #longcovidteens #longcovidteenagers #longcovidrecoverytips #longcovidfighter #longcovidjourney #longcovidrecoveryjourney #longcovidwarrior #longhauler #chronicillness #health
Showering used to be something I took for granted but now I can only shower when I have enough energy. Showering uses energy in 2 ways… standing up (exhausting!) AND holding my arms up and washing my hair (so tiring!) 🚿 My top tip is to buy a shower stool.. It’s really helped me! That way, although I still have to lift my arms, I don’t have to focus on standing up too! #longcovidtips #longcovid #longcovidrecovery #mylongcoviddetour #longcovidawareness #longcovidcommunity #longcovidteens #longcovidteenagers #longcovidrecoverytips #longcovidfighter #longcovidjourney #longcovidrecoveryjourney #longcovidwarrior
Vitamin C Infusionen haben bei manchen Long Covid Patienten gute Besserung gezeigt :) mir halfen sie bei meinen ersten beiden Long Covid Phasen auch! Dieses Mal bin ich gespannt wieviele ich brauche, um eine wirkliche Besserung zu spüren, da meine LC Symtome diesmal stärker ausgeprägt sind, wie bei den ersten beiden Male.

Let's delve deep into long COVID - what's happening in your body? After the initial symptoms subside, a new set often emerges, persisting for months or years. Interestingly, some long COVID symptoms have a "mild" history, especially in individuals with prior digestive issues like occasional reflux or heartburn. This reinforces the notion 🎯 that chronic inflammation is at play. Chronic inflammation, prevalent even in children, appears to drive the relentless progression of long COVID, making it resistant to intervention. It not only manifests in physical symptoms but also affects sleep 🥱 and mood. Notably, individuals with an anti-inflammatory omega-6/3 ratio seem less susceptible to long COVID. Successfully addressing chronic inflammation and supporting your body has yielded positive outcomes for many clients.

The 3 BIGGEST SURPRISES from my long COVID pre-webinar research: 1️⃣The way we deal with inflammation in long COVID is supported by multiple studies from around the world - I found over a dozen! 2️⃣The supplement for gut health I use is ahead of its time! The studies I found look like quotes from Zinzino’s educational webinars 👌 3️⃣The pharma industry is looking at what we do closely. So it apparently makes a lot of sense! ⚖️💰 Have you seen the webinar? Contact me for a follow-up.

In my opinion, every long hauler should try pacing. Here are 5 reasons why: 1. Increases confidence - thoughtfully planning your pacing approach can help you feel more confident to try new things 2. Helps prevent and decrease severity of crashes - pacing offers a framework to help you learn your limits and to stay within them so that you crash less and have less severe crashes 3. Increases predictability and sense of control - overtime pacing can lead to more stable energy and symptom levels, making you feel more in control of your life 4. Helps you use your energy on whats most important - pacing helps you to be more intentional about how you use your energy so you can spend it on the people and activities that mean the most to you 5. It’s free! - pacing is free (as in you don’t need to pay money for it) and you can try it whenever it’s most convenient for you! 💬 Have you tried pacing? How has it improved your life? Comment below! 😅 If you haven’t tried it yet, what’s holding you back? #pacing #postexertionalmalaise #pem #longcovid #longhaulers #longcovidsymptoms #longcovidtreatment #longcovidtips #longcovidsupport #longhaulcovid #longhaulcovidwarrior #chronicfatiguerecovery #chronicfatiguewarriors

This month there’s been a few improvements again. *I’m not having to stop and rest every single afternoon anymore. *I’ve started to practice Callanetics (like Pilates) again 2/3 times a week. *I’ve got back going with my coaching course after a few months on hold. *I’ve been out on a few evenings with no ill effects. *I’ve had an occasional alcoholic drink (just one at a time) *And the biggest improvement of all has been introducing meat back into my diet…albeit with an anti-histamine tablet chaser immediately after eating. Bella is doing really well at uni…getting Firsts in all her tests, working six hour evening shifts twice a week and generally feeling really well (apart from her usual gastro and joint issues). I’ve had a cold, which wiped me out for a week…but apart from that all’s been good. I’ve written a specific post about colds and flu if you’ve not already seen it. I’ve still got a lot going on with my mum…and that’s pretty much 24/7…there’s not much I can do about that to be honest. But James and I have instigated a slight change…every weekend for the past 12 months we have seen mum on a Saturday and then on a Sunday J would have to go see his Dad (who is also ill). We were both feeling pretty wiped out with it all, for the last ten years we have had to care for ill parents…and it’s just felt as though we don’t actually ever get a weekend off unless we are on holiday. Anyway our plan moving forward is for J to go to his Dads on a Saturday after we’ve been at mums…we tried it this week and it was bliss just to have a Sunday with no commitments. So hopefully we can manage this moving forward. Up until being poorly I would have just sucked it up and not made a change…but as always these days I’m trying to prioritise the health of myself, Bella and J too…❤️ #longcovidrecovery #cfsrecovery #longcovidtips #spoonielife #dailydiary #pacing #dysautonomiaawareness #longcovidawareness #gratitude #meditation #wellnessjourney
The thing that hits people with Long COVID the hardest during the holidays…. It’s not the busy schedules. It’s not the added financial stress. It’s not even the energy demand. It’s missing out on the traditions… …not being able to do the annual things exactly how you used to do. This is what hits people with Long COVID the most during this time. Here’s the thing. Not all is lost. Now is the time to start inserting yourself in the conversation. This holiday season may not be exactly how it was year’s past. It may not be perfect, but let me ask you this: Would you rather have perfect or would you rather have joy? This is your moment and the time to take a proactive stance and suggesting all the things you can do instead of sidelining yourself on everything you feel you can’t do. Your family just wants you there, even if it is for a moment. So, find what works for you instead of trying to force yourself to work for everything else. Everyone deserves to feel joy. You shouldn’t miss out because you don’t know how to make it work. Need to chat out how to modify certain traditions? Drop a question in the comments and let me help you figure it out. #christmasjoy #holidaycheer #longcovid #longcovidrecovery #longcovidtips #mecfs #chronicfatiguesyndrome #chronicillness #chronicfatigue #pots #dysautonomia

This is my second Christmas season with Long Covid. As a mom who really enjoys holidays with my kids, it’s a balancing act between creating holiday magic, self care, family, friends and my faith. I wanted to share some tips to think about when managing a chronic illness during the holidays and avoid a flare come January: 🌲 Prioritize a few celebrations &/or traditions; spreading them out to allow rest. 🌲 Online shop & keep presents minimal but special. 🌲 Let kids help decorate -less is more 🌲 Keep alcohol and sugar to a minimum - focus on protein! 🌲 Get good nights sleep 🌲 Schedule in self care to de-stress 🌲 Read Bible, meditate, keep spiritual cup full 🙏🏼 🌲 Save spoons to have quality time individually with each child if possible, even if it’s to read a book, play a game or watch their favorite show. 🌲 Practice having boundaries or say no to things that will cause you to ‘push through’ 🌲 Give yourself grace. If you have 40%, and you give 40%, you gave 100%. Wishing you a happy, healthy and low symptom holiday season ❤️ 🥄 #longcovidrecovery #longcovidawareness #longcovidtips #chronicillnessparenting
Your experience is real. It is valid. You are not crazy. After you read this, I want you to say this 10 times: ‘What I am experiencing is real and I don’t need anyone to tell me that' Like you, I’m tired of the medical gaslighting. You would think by now people would know that Long COV*D is a body-based, medical condition. It is not made up. It is not all in your head. That being said, your brain is responsible for a lot that you are experiencing. Long COV*D may involve your gut, your heart, your lungs, your muscles, and every other aspect of your body. But, your brain controls all of that! Long COV*D at the core changes how our brain tells our body to function. Change your brain and you change your symptoms and your experience. It’s all connected. Let me help show you the way to better health living with Long COV*D. DM me "LC" if you would like to learn how to start doing this. #longcovidawareness #longcovidtips #longcoviderecovery #longhauler #longhaulers #pots #potssyndrome #pem #postexertionalmalaise #dysautonomia #autonomicdysfunction #posturalorthostatictachycardiasyndrome #rewireyourbrain

📱 MY FAVOURITE HEALING APPS I’m constantly trying out different apps and here are my favs to date: 1. INSIGHT TIMER 🔯 Davidji 🔯 Sarah Blondin 🔯 Ally Boothroyd I’m currently using the premium version, I am blown away with the incredible content on this app. It has everything I could want from various meditations, binaural beats, sleep tracks, inner-work & energy healing, spiritual courses, courses on so many topics! 2. CALM 🔯 The Daily Calm by Tamara Levitt 🔯 The Daily Trip by Jeff Warren I’ve used the premium version for a year and loved it, would listen to these 2 meditations above everyday. 3. ENVOL 🔯 beautiful binaural beats, sound visualisations, meditations I’ve used the premium version for a month and would highly recommend, but currently I use the free version which gives you access to 3 different tracks daily 4. SPOTIFY 🔯 music, binaural beats, sleep and yoga tracks, and more! I pay for the premium version, I love it! 5. YOUTUBE 🔯 healing meditations, music, healing channels, everything for free! 🔯 access to Jo Dispenza meditations 6. THE TAPPING SOLUTION 🔯 EFT, aka emotional freedom technique. I did a 2 week trial of this and it was a great way to learn how to do this technique. 7. SYNCTUITION 🔯 3D sounds and binaural beats I used this in the early days to help with sound sensitivity & also when I couldn’t concentrate on meditations. It is very calming & helped me ‘get out into nature’ in my mind. 💕What are your favourite apps?

Celebrated my COVID anniversary with a 16-mile hike and 5,000 feet elevation gain. This feels like such a miracle, considering I’ve been exercise intolerant for the past year. For the first half of 2023 (and especially after a bad relapse in March), I doubted I’d ever do big hikes again. I didn’t seriously think about trying until July, when I finally got on some medication that helped control my symptoms. I still have some breakthrough symptoms (sore throat, brain fog, dizziness, racing heart). But this illness no longer seems hopeless. If you’re experiencing exercise intolerance, a few encouraging thoughts: 1- There is some really dismal reporting in the media about long COVID and how a lot of people don’t get better. But keep in mind, most people are also NOT being properly treated. Our medical system really pushes “symptom management” and “watchful waiting.” You may need to go outside the medical establishment to get the help you need. I know it’s hard when you’re tired and heartbroken. But keep pushing! Don’t settle. 2- Recovery isn’t a straight line. It’s super normal for symptoms to wax, wane, and change over time. Learn to see exacerbations as temporary setbacks and a normal part of the process. Get really good at riding the tides of this post-viral shit. 3- Life isn’t all about being a perfect patient who is constantly resting. Do listen to your body and take it slow as you increase your activity level. But don’t beat yourself up for taking the occasional risk or having a little purely hedonistic fun. If you’re walking a post-viral / long COVID / chronic illness journey and looking for ways to live more joyfully in the process, my 6-month Healing Deep Dive program may be just what you need. You’ll learn tools to help you feel better mentally and physically while making meaning out of this wild (and often frustrating) life experience. Through 9/30, I’m enrolling founding members in a pilot program at 50% off. Curious?

How would your life change if you couldn’t exercise for almost a year? That’s what happened to me. This long COVID/exercise intolerance journey has been one of the wildest rides I’ve ever taken. It’s taught me so much about who I am. What I really want in life. My values. Who I can count on. What actually matters. It’s still not fixed. It’s still a roller coaster. But now that I’m gradually getting back out there, I’m feeling so grateful for every minute. For those of you dealing with long covid/exercise intolerance, hang in there. Take it insanely slow. Stay curious about what works for you. Look off the beaten path for help (because like it or not, you’re a trailblazer). There’s hope.

You are not alone. I am going to repeat this phrase again. You are not alone. The information isn't what makes the RAFT so special. Don't get me wrong, the training is loaded with information about understanding and managing the fatigue crashes of Long COVID. Personally, I think this group is far better than the brain retraining programs out there because Long COVID goes beyond brain retraining (and if you are wondering what I mean, then you should join to find out😉). But in all honesty, it's the community that makes this group exceptional. It's a place where you are encouraged to celebrate yourself and others. No win is too small. It's a place where we hold space for each other in a way that I haven't seen any other group do. This group truly was my favorite thing that I did this past summer because of the people in it and the growth that happened among all of them. I loved it so much that I'm running this group again this fall, and it starts Sep 25th. Come join our community to learn from each other and grow, all while being mentored by a Long COVID rehab specialist.

You feel as if you are the only one experiencing Long COVID. Community matters. Connection matters. And this is the #2 reason I created the Rise Above Fatigue Training (RAFT). 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙣𝙤 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙖 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩, 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙤 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝘼𝙁𝙏. 1 in 13 adults in the United States have Long COVID, and yet you don't know anyone else around you like you. With statistics like this, it sounds as if it is impossible not to know somebody with Long COVID. So, why is it that you feel like nobody else around you is going through what you are going through? Well, there is a chance that they don't know they have Long COVID (especially since it isn't well defined, recognized or diagnosed). They may be hiding their symptoms for fear of stigma or losing their job. The other reason is that having Long COVID can just feel down right isolating and your world has gotten smaller. The #2 reason I created RAFT is because the healthcare system is long overdue for an overhaul, and you need the opportunity to do something differently for your health... ...something that actually puts you in the driver seat of your health and your body. A place that allows you to work on healing yourself instead of relying on the healthcare system to play catch up. And no, I didn't forget about the #1 reason I created the Rise Above Fatigue Training. So, what is the #1 reason I created the RAFT for people with Long COVID and post-exertional malaise?

When I was in my long covid recovery, I was DYING for someone to help me get back to running safely and sanely. Even though I was starting to feel better, any kind of exercise gave me heart palpitations for hours. And then the next day, I’d have trouble keeping my eyes open at work and go to bed at 6 pm. I’d probably have paid $1000 a month for covid-aware personal trainer! But they didn’t seem to exist. What helped: reading stories from other runners with long covid. They weren’t trainers or exercise physiologists, but they understood what I was going through. And it gave me hope that so many of them had gotten through it. So above are all my best tips on getting back to running when you have long covid — or another chronic illness.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐅𝐒 🦠 If you were fascinated to learn that we are more bacteria than human, you may also be surprised to learn that we are, in fact, more virus than we are bacteria! 🦠 The body is host to many different viruses (known collectively as the virome) and, just like bacteria, some can cause disease, whereas others are completely harmless or even potentially beneficial. It is estimated that up to 380 trillion viruses are harboured in the human body. The gut contains the most abundant population of viruses compared with other areas of the body. Most gut viruses are known as bacteriophages; these can live in and on bacteria, changing their genetic material and killing them. It is becoming clear that dysbiosis of the gut is commonplace in CFS, particularly due to the reduced diversity of gut bacteria species. Since viruses can affect the populations of gut bacteria, researchers are now asking the question, is dysbiosis in CFS somehow connected to changes in the gut virome? Let me know if you have ever heard of the virome in the comments below! . . . #virome #viromeandcfs #chronicfatigue #chronicfatiguesyndrome #chronicfatiguesyndromerecovery #chronicfatiguesyndromerecoveryawareness #myalgicencephalomyelitis #myalgicencephalomyelitisawareness #fibromyalgia #fibromyalgiarecovery #lymedisease #lymerecovery #fatigue #chronicillness #longcovidrecovery #longcovidtips #nutritionaltherapy #functionalmedicine #cfsme #mecfsawareness
For me, dealing with other people’s reactions (or lack thereof) is one of the hardest parts of long COVID. Here’s what I’ve learned in my 11 months of dealing with this.

I’ve been feeling called for awhile to make more long COVID content. But like most zombies, I’ve kind of gotten a lot of messages like: “We’re tired of it. Stop identifying with your disability. Is it even a REAL disability?” Hey, no one wants to acknowledge the zombie apocalypse at first. Until an undead corpse is trying to eat your brain. 😂 So I’ve made a decision to start bringing it to you real and raw. Long COVID awareness and education served with a pinch of activism. It won’t be the only thing I talk about on this feed. So if you want to see all the Long COVID stuff in one place, follow the hashtag: #longcovidzombieclub Enjoy.

I like these boxes from @clasohlsonnorge (I’m sure there are similar on amazon too). These keeps my fruits, veggies and berries fresh for days! Makes snacking and meal prepping easier. Preparation for meals with washing and cutting the food can be done over multiple days as well which is great when you struggle with fatigue. I often make salads for days and put in the big box. The boxes has a drainage system so you can rinse your product and store it right away. The water can be poured out later if needed This is not an advertisement, I paid them fully myself, just a tip! 😊 #salad #vegetables #fruit #berries #storage #fatiguetip #pacing #foodstorage #longcovid #longcovidrecovery #longcovidtips #longcovidrecoverytips #mecfs #fatigue #chronicfatigue #notanad #notanadjustafan #clasohlson #clasohlsonnorge
It’s been 3.5 years since I first got covid (I’ve had it at least 3 times now) and then developed Long Covid. It’s been a rollercoaster of a journey towards recovery and I genuinely believe I have yoga to thank for this. Since studying to become a yoga instructor and learning more about the nervous system in particular, I now understand how and it goes beyond exercise (which was my initial reason for taking up yoga!). Over the coming weeks, I will outline how in more detail, linking it to current understanding about Long covid and the science behind how yoga can help. These are tips that can apply to anyone really, maybe you’re suffering from stress, burnout or fatigue or you’re someone who believes exercise is beyond them. I hope by sharing these tips, it can help you too. #longcovidrecovery #longcovidhealing #longcovidtips #yogaforhealing #yogaforhealth #nervoussystemregulation
Blutcheck - gaaaanz wichtig 🚨 Ich substituiere alles mögliche und esse wirklich gesund…auch zB Bananen, Nüsse, Gemüse. Hab mich seit dem letzte Dip so leer gefühlt und siehe da, so ist es auch!! Gerade Kalium und Magnesium können ganz unangenehme Symptome machen, wenn nicht ausreichend vorhanden. Daher - Montag geht’s an den Tropf und es wird aufgefüllt 🙌🏻⭐️🍾 #longcovidrecovery #longcovidtips
Today we're highlighting the benefits of taking supplements for those who want to step up their skincare game or overall wellness. ✨ But why choose when you can have both? 👀 #Colleet #LetsGlowColleet #healthsupplement #wellnesssupplement #supplements #wellness #wellbeing #energybooster #wellnessroutine #dailyroutine #beautyroutine #mentalfatigue #chronicfatiguetips #longcovidtips #longcovidhelp #naturalremedies #brightening #moisturizing #rejuvenating #sunscreen #oralsunscreen #skincare #skincareproducts #skincaretips #skincarecommunity #beautytips #beautyroutine #glowfromwithin #beautymalaysia #beautysingapore #beautysg
My name is Gait & I am a yoga instructor. I belive yoga can be a powerful tool to aid transformation and healing. That is because it is a holistic practise encompassing body, mind and breath. I believe yoga has been instrumental in my own healing journey with Long Covid and it was this reason that led me to become an instructor. Not only did I want to learn more about how yoga was helping, but I wanted to eventually pass this benefit on to others who may be suffering from Long Covid or other chronic illness. So I have set up this new Instagram profile to share my healing journey and pass on tips that I have learned. I’m hoping these could help anyone suffering from illness or even stress and burnout, not just those with Long Covid. Some are based on my own experience and some are based on research evidence and current findings around Long Covid and the ways which yoga has been used as a complementary therapy for various illnesses and mental wellbeing. Am I totally healed and back to where I was before Long Covid? No. Would I want to go back to the life I had before Long Covid 3 years ago? Not really! Of course there are elements that I miss and still grieve for like loss of job, steady income and even identity. Also the ability to do some of the physical activities I would have been able to do easily with my kids before, like dropping the kids off at school everyday or going for a bike ride. But I am also genuinely more content now than I have been in a long time, even before covid. And I’m still hopeful I will get even better as I have already made vast improvement from where I was just 6 months ago when I would spend weeks bedbound, unable to do basic activities and suffering from debilitating pain. Exercise does not automatically lead to an energy crash anymore and my body is even learning to do new things like doing a headstand! So there’s hope for me yet and hopefully that means for others too 🤗 #longcovid #longcovidrecovery #longcovidhealing #longcovidtips #yogahealing #yogatherapytip #yogaforchronicillness

Dreaming again 🍀✨🌸 I got an opportunity for a future work idea. I am very curious how this will develop.

Positive changes 🌸✨ Finally, I started to accept my celiac diagnosis emotionally and stopped fighting it like a little angry child. 🏳️ I really hated that I was forced to change so much by it. I was really struggling with it as it has such a huge impact/restriction on my whole life. 😢 Now, that I surrendered I try to see it as a chance to change my life for the better, revealing a more authentic version of myself. To get into my own strength and stand up for myself. 🍀✨ Also, there was an idea coming up about how to use it in my work life. If it evolves into a real possibility I will tell you more about it 🤗❤️ This week, I introduced some protein powder to help my body until I can eat more protein sources. 💪 I really had a huge lack in proteins throughout the last year due to the intolerances and fears. Also increased my fat intake and am now very slowly introducing some lactose-free cheese 🧀 That's a lot when dealing with an eating disorder/food anxiety 🙈 The new dietitian gives me some compassionate guidance. 🙏 I feel that working on my inner childhood wounds & trauma, focusing on relaxation, taking supplements, the new dietitian and being able to go outside more really improves my health. 🌸 It's still very lonely though. 🥺 It's still a looong way to go but finally I feel I am on the right track and that things actually move forward. 🍀✨🙏 What were your recent positive changes you experienced? Have a great day everyone 🤗 #celiacdisease #celiac #zöliakie #zöliakietagebuch #celiacdiary #coeliacdiary #longcovidrecoverytips #longcovidlife #longcovidrecovery #longcovid #longcovidtips #chronicillnesslife #longcoviddiary #healingjourney #postcovid #postcovidrecovery #postcovidhealing #longcovidgermany #longcoviddeutschland #chronischkrank #coeliacdisease #chronicallysick #healingchronicillness #healingprogress #sed #arfid

3 hours at the lake 🌊🏖️🤗 It was such a joyful experience to finally be at the lake again 🍀✨ Two friends took me there by car, one even put me on a skateboard, so I could be pushed and didn't have to walk/move. It saved some energy 🔋Really nice idea! 🛹 It was also some excitement for my brain which is usually deprived of everything by just staring at the screen or at the wall in my home. I enjoyed it so much and didn't want to leave... The beach is my happy place ❤️ but I had to take care of myself. I did need to sleep afterwards 😴 and my body did hurt.😣 Also, I had to rest for the next whole day. But it's slow progress. 🐢🐌💪 📸 By @coffeepyros & me 1&2: Skateboard 🛹 3&4: lake 🏖️ 5: one last yearning goodbye look 👀 6: afterwards 😴 Thank you my friend for taking pictures/creating memories of my progress throughout this healing journey 🙏 #dayatthebeach #dayatthelake #myhappyplace #happymoments #celiacdisease #celiac #zöliakie #zöliakietagebuch #celiacdiary #coeliacdiary #longcovidrecoverytips #longcovidlife #longcovidrecovery #longcovid #longcovidtips #chronicillnesslife #longcoviddiary #healingjourney #postcovid #postcovidrecovery #postcovidhealing #longcovidgermany #longcoviddeutschland #chronischkrank #coeliacdisease #chronicallysick #healingchronicillness
Are you always aware of what you need? 😊 I just realized how much I really would need a break/vacation, someone who would cook for me and care for me, time to relax, some tender touch, some wellness and joy. 🧖♀️🌊😌 Through the whole year, I didn't allow myself to get that because I was constantly pushing myself so hard to get healthy again by going to many doctors, educating myself on treatments, just learning to ask for help, not having anyone to cuddle/touch. 🚧 I was very impatient, afraid and angry, wanted to work again as soon as possible and forced my will onto life and my body. Spoiler: It didn't work out 🤪🙈 So now, I surrender to the current state that I am in with all the symptoms that I still have and try to find trust and relaxation, calmness and enjoyment within that. Enjoy every bite of a meal, enjoy lying on my couch with music, enjoy the sunshine and wind, enjoy touching my skin, enjoy nice smells, enjoy looking at nature, etc. Letting go of all the wishes to be active. Giving myself a lot of compassion and love. ✨❤️ #selfcompassion #needingavacation #surrender #surrendertolife #celiacdisease #celiac #zöliakie #zöliakietagebuch #celiacdiary #coeliacdiary #longcovidrecoverytips #longcovidlife #longcovidrecovery #longcovid #longcovidtips #chronicillnesslife #longcoviddiary #healingjourney #postcovid #postcovidrecovery #postcovidhealing #longcovidgermany #longcoviddeutschland #chronischkrank #coeliacdisease #chronicallysick #healingchronicillness
Impatience 😒 It really annoys me so much that my body still keeps me isolated and laying down so much. I want to go out, I want to meet people, I want to enjoy the summer, I want to work, I want to start living again. 🍀✨ I still can't figure out why my big toe has been swollen for 2 months 🧐😤 nothing I tried helped to cure it. Being stuck while feeling the need to move/expand again. Every few months a new symptom shows up. 🤦🏻♀️ When you don't understand what your body is trying to tell you. I hate this.. 😾😿 At least, I started trying the first supplement (copper) to combat my deficiencies, today. 👏 To overcome my anxiety while trying new things I am adapting to a new mindset of: either it helps me or else I'm returning 'home' (not being afraid of death anymore). 🤷🏻♀️✨ #overcominganxiety #swollentoe #impatience #lowmood #annoyed #emotionalhealth #celiacdisease #celiac #zöliakie #zöliakietagebuch #celiacdiary #coeliacdiary #longcovidrecoverytips #longcovidlife #longcovidrecovery #longcovid #longcovidtips #chronicillnesslife #longcoviddiary #healingjourney #postcovid #postcovidrecovery #postcovidhealing #longcovidgermany #longcoviddeutschland #chronischkrank #coeliacdisease #chronicallysick #healingchronicillness

1 year of Long Covid and untreated celiac disease 😵💫 Hopefully, it will get better starting from now 🍀🙏 📸 by @coffeepyros #celiacdisease #celiac #zöliakie #zöliakietagebuch #celiacdiary #coeliacdiary #longcovidrecoverytips #longcovidlife #longcovidsymptoms #longcovidrecovery #longcovid #longcovidtips #chronicillnesslife #longcoviddiary #recoverydiary #healingjourney #longcovidfighter #longhauler #postcovid #postcovidrecovery #postcovidhealing #longcovidgermany #longcoviddeutschland #chronischkrank #coeliacdisease #chronicfatigue #exhaustion #chronicallysick
💙 EMOTIONAL PROCESSING This is a new skill I’m learning. And I’d argue it is one of the most important things to do in your life to live a healthy and happy life. This doesn’t mean not feeling negative emotions. For most of my life I didn’t know what to do with negative emotions. I think a lot of us are taught to push them down or away, or ignore them by distraction. Instead I have been working on processing them. My psychologist taught me a technique which I’ll share: 👉When a negative feeling arises, the first step is to breathe and feel into your body. Where is this feeling? What sensations are you feeling in your body? Is it tension in the stomach, is it nausea in the tummy, is it a blocked feeling in the throat? Next step is to identify the emotion. Is it anxiety, anger, grief, worry, rejection, loneliness etc. see the emotional wheel on the 2nd slide to help identify your emotions. It could be several. Once you identify what the emotion is and where it is in your body, see if you can then allow space for it. Let it be there. Breathe into it. You may feel like you want to place your hands on the area where it is. Sometimes I rub the area, or tap it. Spend some time sitting with it and breathing into it, allowing you to feel it and to process it. I find it will then dissipate and I sometimes imagine it then melting away, or flowing out of my body. 👉Another technique you might find helpful is EFT. I use this to help process my emotions too. EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique and is also known as tapping. There is actually some good research out there proving it’s effectiveness. Systematic reviews have identified its efficacy for physiological and psychological symptoms. There are plenty of resources out there to teach you how to do tapping yourself - it is actually quite simple. You can do it anywhere, and you don’t need any tools. Search on YouTube, or do a 2 week free trial of the app: The Tapping Solution. I may do another post on EFT in more detail soon. But I highly encourage you to explore it as another tool to add to your toolkit to help you through life and especially navigate through illness or hardship.
Qi deficiency is more common in working adults than you think. 😥 An imbalanced spleen can cause several gastrointestinal issues as well as fatigue. To increase your energy levels, try incorporating BEAVI 9 into your diet to help nourish the spleen and balance the Qi in your body. ✨ #Colleet #LetsGlowColleet #healthsupplement #wellnesssupplement #siberianginseng #supplements #wellness #wellbeing #energybooster #wellnessroutine #dailyroutine #beautyroutine #mentalfatigue #chronicfatiguetips #longcovidtips #longcovidhelp #naturalremedies #glowfromwithin #beautymalaysia #beautysingapore #beautysg
3 things everyone should know about chronic fatigue! 💤 💤 Chronic fatigue is the first noticeable symptom in over 300,000 different illnesses. It is the number one sign our bodies have too much going on. It's also the base for many auto-immune disorders, illnesses, and cancers. 💤 Our adrenal glands respond to every type of stress in the same way (and therefore get exhausted in the same way), no matter the source. Stress plays a large role in our health. Stressors can be physical, emotional, psychological, environmental, infectious…or any combination of these! 💤 Caffeine is the worst thing you can consume when you are chronically fatigued. But not to worry, there are plenty of natural remedies for chronic fatigue to replace your daily coffee, or to just give you more energy and better health overall! (Check some out in the shop–link in bio) What other chronic fatigue facts do you know? Or, comment with a question and I’ll do my best to answer it. P.S. You can learn even more in our most recent blog! #chronicfatigue #chronicfatiguesyndrome #mecfs #chronic_fatigue #mecfsinfo #mecfseducation #mecfstips #mecfsadvice #longcovidtips #longcovidadvice #longcovidfatigue #highstress #calmingstress #caffeinereplacement #caffeinesubstitution #moreenergynaturally #moreenergy #energytips #energymanagement #naturalhealthservice #naturalhealthpractitioner #naturalhealthremedies #naturesremedies #botanicalmedicine #herbalproducts #organicherbs #wildmedicine #naturesmedicine #holisticmedicine
Eleuthero, or Siberian Ginseng, is neither Siberian nor ginseng…but it sure does have a lot of benefits, especially if you find yourself dealing with chronic fatigue! This herb is adaptogenic, meaning it “adapts” to your body’s unique needs by helping you balance stress. It can support and rejuvenate adrenal function. During all of this, Eleuthero counteracts mental fatigue, calms anxiousness, improves sleep, and reduces overall fatigue. Eleuthero is a great go-to for “Type A” people who work hard and play hard, and struggle to get out of their heads. It’s also beneficial for people who deal with conditions that are exhausting on a cellular level, like ME/CFS, some cancers, and some autoimmune conditions. It also can benefit people with cognitive conditions or experiences like brain fog. Of course, fatigue doesn’t simply “go away” by turning to an herb for help. We must make changes in other parts of our lives and lift the stress directly wherever possible. Good nutrition and herbs can then have a much better, and stronger, effect on the body and help us truly heal. Lastly, take caution with Eleuthero if you have heart conditions or hormone-related cancers, as it can be contraindicated in these situations. #eleuthero #eleutheroroot #siberianginseng #chronicfatigue #chronicfatiguetips #longcovidtips #longcovidhelp #adaptogenicherbs #helpfatigue #fatiguetips #mentalfatigue #herbalhealth #herbalmedicine #naturalmedicines #naturalhealthtips #materiamedica #mecfs #mecfshelp #mecfstips #brainfog #naturalhealthstore #botanicalstore #communityherbalism #farmtopharmacy #naturalhealthandwellness #botanicallife #botanicalwoman #naturalmedicines #naturalhealthsupplements

Final blood tests done! 🍀🌺 Got tested on diabetes and a last coeliac blood test was done. Will get the results in the next weeks. As well as the allergy test results. In German, we say 'I am drawing three crosses' when finishing something exhausting. Today, it's 3 flowers instead 🌺 The last few months were horrible and I am very grateful for the friends and my mum who helped me to survive as much as they could.

What is luteolin? Luteolin is a flavonoid found in many plants, including celery, carrots, peppermint, rosemary, and thyme. It has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and has been studied for its potential health benefits, including reducing inflammation. How can luteolin help with long COVID? Studies suggest that luteolin may help reduce inflammation associated with long COVID. It may also help reduce fatigue, brain fog, and other symptoms. Additionally, luteolin has been found to reduce oxidative stress and protect cells from damage, both of which may help with long COVID. How should luteolin be taken? Luteolin is available in supplement form, either as a single supplement or as part of a multi-ingredient supplement. It can also be found in foods such as celery, carrots, peppermint, rosemary, and thyme. It is important to speak with a healthcare professional before taking luteolin to ensure it is safe for you and the right dosage. #longcovid #longcovidrecovery #longhaulers #polyphenols #nutrition #nutritionist #inflammation #chronicillness #healthylifestyle #healthyeating #nutritionisttips #longcovidtips
