Did you know that 25% of people living with ME/CFS have severe or very severe symptoms?

These folk are housebound or bed bound and the least visible in research, support, education, and awareness.

'I Would Be Here If I Could' is a new British social art project that honours the millions of people now living with ME/CFS & Long Covid. The project is the first online space for folk to express their creative voice and to be heard beyond their physical boundaries.

Could zapping the Vagus nerve help relieve symptoms of Long Covid? 🧐

Researchers in the US are discovering some intriguing insights that resonate with our holistic approach to health. The journey of understanding long COVID continues to evolve, and it's now being illuminated that this condition not only touches the heart and lungs but also weaves its way into the intricate tapestry of our nervous system.

🧠💡 The spotlight is now turning towards the neurological dimensions of long COVID, with particular attention to a special nerve that acts like a serene messenger within our bodies — the Vagus nerve.

Stimulation of the vagus nerve triggers a rush of autonomic responses associated with relaxation. The vagus nerve acts as an “off” switch to the sympathetic system’s fight-or-flight mode. This nerve is also activated during activities such as yoga, meditation and slow breathing, all of which commonly leave practitioners feeling calm and restful.

Though it's early days still, researchers have found that gentle stimulation of the vagus nerve could potentially ease the more common symptoms of Long Covid including persistent fatigue, nagging headaches, and unpredictable blood pressure changes.

Drop a heart below if you've found yoga, meditation or slow breathing helpful in your Long Covid recovery 💖

Stay well and connected. 💚🌈

Ongoing research shows electrical vagus nerve stimulators could relieve some long COVID symptoms. But are the expensive devices worth the price?
