It make sense to me now because I was fine at one point then out the blue I can't even walk a block without stopping and resting gasping for air. I can't sleep at night. Thank You for talking about this subject matter.

[tracyhagler]

Shortness of breath, air hunger (fingernails blue), and even waking up gasping for air at night have been some of the worst symptoms for me, as well. As I’m recovering these symptoms have subsided, thank goodness! Great advice! Thanks for your videos!

You are the first one that talked about that weird jittery feeling when you are about to fall asleep.
I had that when my nervous system was out of wack. It was impossible to sleep. I remember I was extremely extremely sleepy but my body would go into that weird jittery thing to wake me up or I dont know what. It was coupled with breathing problems too. I would be on the verge of falling asleep and my breathing would stop and my body would jitter like if it got electrocuted. Such bad no one can understand these insane feeling unless they go through them.

What helping me most is that your videos are explaning in a such easy way whats happening in my body. With understanding, the symptoms are less scaring and easier to rewire. This video is applicable to most of my symptoms.

I started with just fatigue and recovered in 3 days. On my third relapse the leg weakness started and my recovery took 1 month. In the fourth relapse I had shortness of breath and then my recovery took a month and a half. The more symptoms I had, the longer it took me to recover because I was so scared.
One of the things that made it clearer to me that it is not the body but the nervous system is that in one of the relapses I was given prednisone. This medicine, taken for a few days, causes a feeling of euphoria. For two weeks I was euphoric and on the second day of the relapse I was even able to run for 30 minutes. There was nothing I couldn't do because my mentality was positive and the fear of everything was gone.
When I finished the prednisone I relapsed again because I kept pushing myself. Then the shortness of breath prevented me from walking normally, I walked very slowly in case I relapsed, but after a week I realised that it was just fear and I started to recover because I continued to do things even if it was slowly and with shortness of breath until this sensation disappeared.
Now I relapse when I think I am well and I do something much more than normal. I overdo it and I find it hard not to do it, but at this point where I can almost live a normal life, I don't know how to move on to the next point because I always relapse when I do too much.

This video is true... once I was in the emergency room and they scanned my lungs and told me everything looked good 👍- I stopped freaking out so much about it. And these vids made me realize it's just my nervous system. God bless anyone reading this who is looking for reassurance. Just have the doctors check out your lung and make sure it's nothing else going on. And practice deep- long breathing. And relaxation breathing techniques 👍

Just had an episode of shortness of breath.
Used an oximeter to check my blood oxygen saturation and it was at 100%.

Very reassuring to have an objective confirmation that yes, I was okay.
Perspective is crucial.

Wow, at 7.33 when you mention that jolt when you try to fall asleep, I have been getting that myself. It's awful. Plus the breathlessness. I had that the first round of CFS back in the 1990's when i first crashed, but without brain retraining I made about 50%-ish recovery over a number of years, new living environment, supplements, read a few books on ME/CFS by alt. Drs, helped a lot at that time. Whenever I did too much though, the breathlessness would start up and I'd get a 'sick' weird feeling and knew to stop and rest for a few days. This time though(August 2022), the crash was so much more severe coupled with a few extra, now diagnosed health issues, but the CFS/ME/Fibro symptoms have been far worse than even the first time I crashed with it so really grateful for your videos Miguel. They really are helping so much.

Claire weekes talks in her book about this as anxiety 1962

So appreciate the detail you go into in sharing your story. Your transparency is so helpful and my big take away from this video is that I was not and am not the only person who has experienced these symptoms. I have made good progress over the last year. My near daily headaches are the next obstacle to overcome. Any advice you have on reducing headaches from overthink would be great!!

[lynncontic]

Oh Miguel I am so sorry to hear you lost your grandfather during your illness. I cannot even imagine and it makes me so sad even thinking about it. Support is critical during our illness because it's so complicated & no one can relate. I've had 30 year old friends basically disappear which added insult to injury. But you know what, your grandmother and grandfather's prayers were answered not only through your recovery but in how you're using that nightmare experience to help others!! That's why we're here and it sounds like it was God's purpose for your life. I can relate to everything you said and then some. It's just unfortunate that recovery seems to be a slow process.

[PlayingOnThePiano]

Hey man, do you have any advice on how to make the day feel a little bit more fulfilling with the limited energy that I have? I am slowly getting better and better though so that's a good sign.

[SovendeMay]

Air hunger can feel super scary and so uncomfortable.
Totally agree with Miguel that the mind is a very powerful thing.
But please don't underestimate the effects of things like dehydration, iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, low potassium levels, certain parasite infections and metabolic issues.
If working on your "software" and nurturing your nervous system isn't resolving the air hunger then please ask your physicians for some basic nutrient tests. A combo of trauma, gut issues and last but not least IRON DEFICIENCY ruined my life and many times I wondered if I would make it through or even wanted to go on living.
Often chronic fatigue seems really complicated. But sometimes, just sometimes, some major pieces of the puzzle can be missed by even the good doctors and can turn out to have a simple fix.
Love and solidarity to all reading Xx

I needed this. I feel like my breathing is just going to stop. It feels awful. I get the sleep problems as well. Digestive symptoms as well. I nearly thought I am terminally ill

[LynnZB]

I have fibro and CFS but I had never associated my shortness of breath with it. Thank you

[magicalpatterns]

I got sick after I had my only son and my soulmate “my mom” died the same year and we moved to a new state.
I understand you so well.

[raheem]

Respect for the hardship, nice to hear from youtubers who aren't addicted to Jordands

[theantiqueactionfigure]

The shortness of breath and lightheadedness was so frustrating, especially after being extremely fit all of my life. That symptom appeared months before I realized I was sick at age fifty. Than the weight gain from losing my ability to exercise and probably the meds they put me on. The before on left side of my profile picture was after a couple years with CFS. Taking control of my diet helped me lose the 75 lbs I gained after being sick for a couple years.
