Today I got dressed standing up…..I know, no biggie for most people but for the first time in
nearly 4 years I could dress myself without pain.
The treatment BeActivated 123 may not be the cure all for the Long Covid I have been suffering, the fatigue and energy crashes still have to be managed carefully through pacing and “radical resting”, as well as continuing the raft of supplements and brain-based exercises I have been using; however I would have given just about anything to have just one day, one hour or even one minute without the pain of bodily inflammation caused by Long Covid.
I experienced pain in just about every nerve, joint and fibre of my body, sometimes very little, sometimes to an almost unbearable level. There seemed no rhyme or reason, the pain went where it wanted, and made movement virtually impossible without prescription medication.
I gradually weaned myself off as many of the medications as I could as I became more aware that the medical profession were equally in the dark as I and were simply offering palliative treatments. I wanted more, I wanted to feel I had some control over my body and my life.
And so to Lyn. I already knew Lyn as a very special yoga teacher and therapist, even so, it took me a while to consider that the BeActivated 123 treatment could be for me as I had by then become cynical that any intervention could help. I was encouraged by a friend who had had good results having had the treatment, and so I went.
Lyn proved to me that my body could and would respond if activated in the correct way, the treatment was robust and thorough and all the while Lyn talked me through what was happening and why. She held a safe space for me to feel…pain, emotion, relief.
I left her feeling like I was learning to walk afresh, hold myself correctly, treat myself with more care and respect….and I could manage stairs.
Today I got dressed standing up….and it wasn’t until I was putting the kettle on that I realised I had trundled down the stairs without a second thought.
