Covid’s effect on the vagus nerve (especially if you are susceptible)

Exploring a known link between covid-19 and certain issues relating to the vagus nerve (amongst others); how does this relate to some of the more scattered seeming symptoms of long covid and what can be done about it in the hopes of making a speedy and full recovery?

An advantage to fibromyalgia?

Could people with fibromyalgia, ironically, be less suceptible to covid-19 and the worst of its effects than the rest of the population?

So honour that, own it, work with it too. We’re all feeling rattled, thrown around and turned inside out at the moment but, if you’re an empath, you’re likely to be feeling it at a whole other level.
