Great suggestions! 💖

Yes, seasonal changes, and who knows what else. 😆 I wish I knew.

Long flu preceded the downward cascading spiral of autoimmune and emotional disregulation that left me at the bottom of the Covid abyss. Thankfully, it appears you can only suffer from one long illness at a time. I'll pray for a speedy recovery 🙏. You are the trouper that many of us look up to.

Thank you for spelling trouper right 🤓

I’m so sorry, Dania. I think the lack of predictability here is one of the more frustrating elements. What brings on a flare? Could be poor sleep, jet lag, the Starbucks croissant you had in the airport, or changing winds in the Pacific Northwest once you got home. Who can tell?? 😏

I’m glad you’re giving yourself grace. Hopefully you’ll get back to some sort of manageable baseline. A few things I think are helping me at the moment: cold showers, my red light therapy box, grounding sessions on my yoga mat (literally just laying on the mat resting or with meditation music). I’m also trying the Gupta Program again. I was working when I tried it the first time and I had no bandwidth for it then, but I do now.

Thanks Paul. The chronic illness stuff has been quite the journey. But I’m also so fortunate to have found community and support.
