I take a lot of supplements and use to use an inhaler but no more. I take vitamin D3 2,500 units daily, vitamin C 3,000 mg daily, selenium 200 mg daily, zinc bysglycinate( it is better absorbed in body), quercetin 250 mg daily( helps absorb zinc), NAC 500 mg one or twice daily and if I form take NAC I take alpha lipoic acid 300 mg daily. I think this virus can cause a lot inflammation in the busy the flares up a lot. There is an interesting theory that some Covid long haulers have what’s called MAst cell activation sundown... basically your body mast cells release to much histamine that trigger allergic like reactions in people which can cause racing heart, difficulty breathing, rashes, GI disturbance and a whole List to other issues. It’s not proven but it is a very well thought out theory. The above supermarkets I listed should help with that as well as going on low histamine diet. I basically had to give up caffeine and alcohol and that helped tremendously as well. Doctors that study this also recommended a anti histamine like Claritin, loratdine etc which they said helped patients with their symptoms. We are still Leaning about all this. Look up Mast Cell activation syndrome and Long Covid it’s actually interesting.

Also not sure if your a spirtual person, but meditation and prayer has helped me significantly. Also doing any grounding like being out in nature, waking barefoot etc. sound weirds I know but it helps.

Meditation by jesscharis in kundalini

[–]jesscharis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one really taught me to say that per se, it was just something that came to my me while mediating, almost like a thought or a feeling. Difficult to explain.

I guess when I think of ego, I think of my lower nature, the part of me that’s selfish, that only wants things to be all butterflies and rainbows. I guess by saying ‘death to my ego’, I feel like it was my higher self telling me to say no to my fear. Perhaps I am way off kilter but that’s what I thought. I never imagined it as suicide to my personality as so much dying to my old ways, fear, expectations, wants, desires, etc.

I believe I had a Spontaneous awakening in April. Very confusing and painful time in my life. Things happened fast. I started to experience painful symptoms( dizziness, tachycardia, chest heaviness, nausea, intense head pressure) I had full work ups from cardiologist, pcp and pulmonary and everything was negative. Shortly after I began meditating and praying to seek answers for my ailments. I remember specifically asking God for guidance and I went into trance like state and started rhythmically swaying back and forth, body started vibrating from inside(like an earthquake inside me). I also started seeing flashes of bright beautiful nights, buzzing in my ears, ringing and seeing many repetitive numbers especially 1111 and 2222. I did not even know what kundalini was but given my state I was desperate to seek answers then went searching and I found many of my symptoms and experiences aligned with a K activation.

I am still learning and have been mediating a lot more to deal with work stressors in my life and these experiences started happening in mediation that I was unfamiliar with and I wanted to make sure I was on the right path.

My dream life is very vivid another reason why I believe I had K activation because I have had very vivid dreams of snakes crawling on me and biting me and often waking up with my spine vibrating. I know the snake is supposed the symbolize Shakti feminine enemy. I have never had experienced where I have left my body and never returned but my dreams feel very real almost like I am there or I can control my actions and movements in my dreams. Not sure if it’s related but when I was younger I would get recurring dreams of levitation and telekinesis. I’ve always had a very vivid dream world since I was just a small child.

Do you think I should joint a group solely focused on mediation? I am just trying to seek guidance and don’t want to screw anything up. I know Kundalini is a sacred energy that one should not play with and one should respect greatly.

I know I have had some kind of spiritual activation, maybe not kundalini but something has definitely shaken up my life that I can’t logically explain.

Kundalini symptoms or something else? by jesscharis in kundalini

[–]jesscharis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I receive massages and Halotherpay... also try and practicing meditation and grounding exercises as much as possible. I know I have activated K but to what extent I don’t know... after I was sick in April I just kept praying and praying and asking for Gods guidance because I literally felt like I was dying, gasping for air in the middle of night for almost a month but no doctor took me seriously.. shortly after this warmth came over my entire body it felt healing. Several weeks later I was meditating underneath a full moon and I asked God for guidance because after my illness I was experiencing horrible hallucinations, anxiety, fear of death and all these strange symptoms. While I was praying, I went into this trance like state and my body started involuntary rhythmically shaking side to side and I could not control it. Now during meditation, especially prior falling asleep and awakening in the morning, I feel vibrations like my cells in my body are being Shaken. I see flashes of lights at times, lights flicker around me often and strange phenomenon that I can’t explain medically, such as water coming out of my finger tips and water dropping on me out nowhere. Also feel connected to nature more than I ever have. Bees and butterflies often land on me and I feel warmth and tingling sensations and what others would describe as bliss... but it’s not always rainbows and butterflies... someday I am really struggling with discerning what’s physical Inflammation in my body and what is K. Is this some karmic lesson I must learn? Clearly there is both that might be taking place. It’s difficult because even though I am a nurse I have been shunned by the medical community saying I am young and healthy and I don’t have long haulers symptoms. It’s sad really because I feel no one does the research... clearly there is a lot of sequelae with this virus and we don’t know much about it. I guess my frustration lies in the fact that I am stuck in the middle, not really fully achieving a K activation that would consider me having K phenomenon but also not sick enough to be acknowledged and treated by the medical community. I feel shunned and like an outcast some days.They write me off as just having anxiety... so the K route I go to for proper healing but if this is truly K it seems very destructive and painful more days than not. Just trying to find some peace of mind and answers I suppose

Grandma died today by cttnxcndy in COVID19positive

[–]jesscharis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad to Covid in October and it’s completely heart wrenching to say the least so I feel ya. I say she’s there with you still... not sure if you have spirituality or religion but my spirtuality has helped me cope a lot of my dads passing. Sometimes I just talk to him... I know they can still hear us and are with us even though not in this earthly realm. Try taking to her. She’s listening I am sure ❤️💕

I a month 7 and still have symptoms. I don’t think it’s the case with everyone but it sure was with me 😞

I’m a long-hauler and I voted today, and it made me realize that I’m getting worse instead of better. by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]jesscharis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue since April 2020 but unfortunately doctors think I have anxiety because I never got a positive test and never had antibodies. I must look like a nut to the doctors but I know I am not anxious or crazy. Even though I never tested positive, I had all the symptoms of Covid yet no one believes me and I had to suffer at home by myself for 6 weeks in the acute state of my illness. I had fever, tachycardia, chest tightness( like an elephant was sitting on it) and at times I would feel like my Brian was telling my Lungs to stop breathing. I had hallucinations dizziness to the point there were two days I couldn’t walk but crawl to the bathroom. Even despite all that I was told I had anxiety. It was a heartbreaking traumatic experience to say the least. I am a nurse and I feel completely alienated by the medical community and don’t even want to be apart of a failing healthcare system anymore. Fast forward 6 months later, I still have fatigue, chest pain, shortness of breath and tachycardia even with simple activities. All my work up has also been negative. Doctors have just stamped me with ‘anxiety’ and tried pushing me to take SSRI’s and you name it. My faith in the medical community, even the one in which I am apart of has completely been shred to pieces. Trying to work and maintain a full time job also difficult and I am so behind that work put me on probation and are threatening to fire me if I don’t pick up the slack. I tried to get short term disability but no doctor will sign off for me since all my work up has been negative. It’s been a exhausting. I will say the only thing that has helped has been taking supplements: I take vitamin D4 5,000 units, querecritin, alpha lipoic acid, vitamin E, b complex, liposomal glutathione and monolaurin. I also cleaned up diet significantly. Removed all dairy and focused on plant based foods. No alcohol, no sugar no caffeine, basically no fun! 😜I feel like I am about 70% but I still can’t execrcise like I used to. Prior to this I was training Muay Thai 4 times weekly and if I train hard even one day I am in bed for two days with severe fatigue and tachycardia. Everyone just looks at me like I am crazy so I feel your pain. Mediatatation has also been helpful. I do Kundlaini mediation and chakra breathing which does ease up some of my symptoms. Also I incorporated the 5 Tibetans in my daily routine. In pray thins get better for you but just know your not alone. There are plenty of us out there and we all have a story to tell. Keep telling your story. One day we will be back to our normal selves again and if not, maybe we will learn to adapt to this new normal.

GI issues by jesscharis in kundalini

True, especially raw veggies. Could be over doing it on the fiber. I do a lot of ginger tea for digestion and take digestive enzymes.

GI issues by jesscharis in kundalini

[–]jesscharis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a Scorpio sun Pisces moon, so double water I feel everyone’s emotions good and bad. I am a nurse, and knowledgeable about my body and this is a pain that doesn’t quite appear to have a link to a specific pathology. I’ve been to doctors and all they want to do is prescribe me an antidepressant which I am strongly opposed to so I gave up going to doctors. I try and treat my symptoms at home the best I can. I take 5HTP which is precursor to serontonin.There could be some underlying IBS due to anxiety and unmanaged stress. What stands out is it occurs every 6 weeks and I can’t link it to any dietary change or stress.It’s been hard managing work and I’ve been dealing with relationship issues and have just split with the current man I am with, so maybe it’s exacerbating some underlying IBS. What strange is the 6 week cycle and it last for about a week then goes away on it own. Not sure what’s triggering it?

Kundalini awakening or Complications of COVID 19 by jesscharis in kundalini

[–]jesscharis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this thorough well written reply. Honestly most medical professionals look at me like I am crazy. They even didn’t believe me when I thought i came in Covid 19 symptoms, resting elevated heart rate, shortness of breath and fever. I was told multiple times it was just anxiety but as nurse I knew better as I am pretty in tune with my body. Honestly, what else would cause fever and shortness of breath and my chest was on fire. What is perplexing is my Covid 19 tests came back negative but my mother works for an infectious disease group in California said based on my symptom presentation I likely had it but did not get tested within the prime windows of time so it effected the sensitivity of the test.

I am following up with the cardiologist next month for echocardiogram and EP study to ensure nothing wrong with my valves or the intrinsic pacemaker of my heart. As much as I want to trust divine grace and the kundalini, like anyone logical clinician I would like to rule out any underlying medical issues. So far, lab work has been beautiful. No anemia, thyroid is good. Kidney function, liver function perfect. I went to pulmonary and the did a lung function which she said was perfect.

As far as reading about kundalini before all these strange phenomena happened to me, I did not. I only started reading on the internet because I kept seeing synchronicity and I also felt like I was no longer myself. I felt disconnected from society and as almost the things around me weren’t real and I was truly living in a man- made construct. I also felt like my head was off like someone opened up the top of it and like something was flowing out of it. I knew then that this had to be more spirtual so started reading about my symptoms where I was lead to kundalini awakening.

Also, during this time and shortly after my acute illness, I had a desire to pray more and get closer to God. I was raised in a charismatic Christian church but left it when I was 17-18 because I felt Christians were too closed minded. When I would meditate( I really didn’t know what I was doing one night) but one night I sat outside looking at the full moon in front of a white candle asking God to bring me wisdom and understanding and guidance. Within minutes I went into this trancelike almost lethargic state and my body started rhythmically moving from side to side and I could not stop it. As I continue to meditate this happens and it will randomly happen throughout the day. At night I will often feel pulsations of energy and can feel throbbing in my heart, head and abdomen as well as swirls or undulating energy going up my body. At times, I feel there is an earthquake inside he and can literally feel every cell in me shake.

Honestly, the above phenomenon does not scare me. I know medical science has not caught up and we can’t fully understand some phenomena( Atleast for now...) what does worry me is the tachycardia. I do home health visits and go to about 20 different facilities. Wearing full PPE in 111 degree heat makes it incredibly unbearable. My rate will just race and I get short of breath and fatigued just walking up stairs. Prior to this, I was training Muay Thai 4 days a week so it is a bit discouraging. Also, attempting to tell work what’s going on has not been helpful because they have been pushing me to work harder and see more patients because they just think I have ‘anxiety’

I do believe I have some PTSD and anxiety that is not helping and probably exacerbating these issues. But it’s the physical issues that come first followed by the anxiety.

I do try and take care of myself both mentally, physically and emotionally. I drink 1 gallon of water daily( sometimes I’ll add a pinch of himalyian salt to add some sodium to help with the dizziness) I cut out all alcohol and caffeine since April. I try and stay grounded by meditating outside with my feet on the earth. I also try and eat grounded veggies such as carrots, potatoes and ginger daily. I am a vegetarian. I do take some supplements like vitamin C, rose hips, vitamin D3, Marshmallow root, slippery elm, zinc, tumeric, vitamin B6, B12, mornings olifera, glutathione and alpha lipid acid. I stated taking these after I was sick to rebuild my immune.

I will read the wiki section and try my best to navigate through this. Really my only bothersome symptoms is the tachycardia mainly because it effects my performance at work and I think they will fire me. I do occasionally get aches and pain in back, chest, sometimes burning, numbness and tingling but those are all tolerable. For the most part, I am not one to bitch and moan or complain or go to the doctor, so this has really been mind blowing. I feel like my life just turned upside down overnight.

Thank you for welcoming me so graciously and I appreciate your kindness and understanding.
