Long Covid headaches

    Hello I am brand new on this forum..
    I am 66, was healthy and active until I first got COVID in June 2022, life has not been the same since.
    My main remaining symptoms are daily headaches (sometimes really bad, sometimes mild) and chronic fatigue.
    I have tried EVERYTHING, seen countless doctors, been on medication and NOTHING helps.
    Done brain MRI and CT which showed reduced oxygen in the brain.
    Following that I did a course of 60 HBOT treatments (oxygen tank) with limited improvements.
    A second COVID illness in 2024 exacerbated symptoms.
    I have just come across the work on Dr John Sarno and watched a video by Dr Schubiner, and realize that this might be my issue.
    Personality-wise I am definitely a fit.... perfectionist, "goodist", rule-follower, pleaser.
    I'd welcome any guidance on how to get started on this journey to consider TMS/PPD rather than structural issues.
    Thanks in advance

    There have been plenty of people here who have recovered from long COVID. I suggest you begin with a program like the Structured Educational Program offered free here.

    Hi!
    Do a search on long covid using the magnifying glass in the upper right hand corner. There are a bunch of discussions here about how long Covid is actually TMS. That will help you get more resigned to the fact that TMS methods will help you heal. You can also look up migraines in the success stories and see people that have recovered from having migraines. Most of my symptoms got much worse when I had Covid I think because I was really afraid of Covid. I’m your age. It’s also just a perfect spot for your TMS brain to insert difficulty. at any rate you’re in the right place!

    Also Nicole Sachs: go to her podcast page https://www.yourbreakawake.com/podcasts/the-cure-for-chronic-pain-with-nicole-sachs-lcsw-2 (The Cure for Chronic Pain with Nicole Sachs, LCSW)
    and just put Long Covid into the search box. She has addressed this topic a number of times, including interviews with people who had extreme cases of long covid and have completely recovered. Her podcasts are like individual therapy.

    As recommended by @HealingMe and @Diana-M, start our Structured Educational Program and read at least one Success Story on all the different conditions that people recover from.
