As the medical community scrambles to uncover the biomedical mechanisms responsible for Long Covid (or Long Haul Covid), millions are left suffering in isolation, desperately searching for answers.
This page was created to spread the word, that the mechanism HAS ALREADY BEEN DISCOVERED. The cure lies in the Mind Body Connection.
Please make sure, before you starting any of the interventions listed here, that there is no tissue damage caused by Covid-19 or any other underlying serious ailment. If you have any doubt about this, make sure to consult your doctors. However, if they cannot find "anything wrong" with you, the Mind Body approach may be the way to go for you.
On this site, you will find many references to chronic pain or syndromes like Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia etc. but this approach works for any of the Mind Body symptoms that you know from Long Covid, such as fatigue, tinnitus, shortness of breath, brain fog, headaches, tingling etc.
This website is a not-for-profit initiative by some of us who have truly and completely recovered or are well on our way. What you are about to read are the stories of REAL people with REAL recoveries. Thank you Jake and Sarah, for taking the initiative and all of you for contributing.
I cannot wait for you to recover, just as I have begun to, and when you do, please send your recovery story so that we may share it with the world. Hurry up and start reading, your old life is waiting :-))

It was tough having to go through this on my own, and I would have wished there had been a team of psychologists, physiotherapists, and doctors who would not focus on my symptoms but on my rehabilitation, but first and foremost that could have provided a fair explanation of what might have happened. This is an essential key for people to get the courage to rehabilitate.

My stained-glass business was going strong and my newest passion for teaching meditation was flourishing: I had just taught a meditation class for Microsoft. Then, WHAM! When I got COVID in the beginning of November 2020, it hit me hard. I experienced over 18 different symptoms, including: fever, cough, loss of taste and smell, intense fatigue and neurological symptoms such as extreme sensitivity to sound and physical sensations, the palms of my hands were numb, and showering was painful.

In fact, I hold an abundance of gratitude in my heart for my Long COVID journey, for it is because of that journey that I discovered the essence of who I am and the person I am meant to be in this world. It is because of my experience, that I now have the opportunity, nay, the obligation, to help and serve others on their journey through Long COVID.
