It was a great revelation and relief to discover that I had the power to heal myself

Summary

Began following Nicole Sachs' free "Healing Yourself" videos and her paid "Freedom from Chronic Pain" course, alongside Dr Howard Schubiner's "Unlearn Your Pain" resources, substituting "pain" for "symptoms" as he worked through them from late October 2022, after supplements, an anti-inflammatory diet and other lifestyle changes had "availed nothing." His Long COVID symptoms began about three weeks after a mild COVID infection and forced him to stop working within three months, at his worst fearful of becoming bedbound, unable to sustain a conversation with his son and breathless after a 10-minute phone call. He says "within 4 weeks my symptoms had almost completely disappeared" and that after seven weeks he had "completely returned to normal activities," including three hours of bike riding and hill climbing "with no consequence." He describes one brief flare-up "for a couple of days the following week," driven by anxiety and fear, which "subsided quickly," and the story describes no ongoing practice beyond the mindset shift itself.
