Summary
A person who developed long COVID with 24/7 dizziness for almost two years, daily migraines, fatigue, eye pain and anxiety. A Nucca chiropractor ended the dizziness after a few months. They credited brain-retraining work from Sarno, Schubiner and Nicole Sachs, plus Wim Hof breathing and cold showers, with clearing their symptoms, and by mid-2023 reported working out at 100% and being symptom free.
