Thank you so much for this article (The vagus nerve, leading us back to our health), for the explanations, the useful insights and recommendations and for sharing your story! Reading your post has been so enlightening and helpful as I share almost all of the symptoms you wrote about! I felt so comforted and inspired by reading about your health experience, cause it also gave me a reflection of what has been my personal journey so far and I felt less lonely (and to be honest, also less “crazy”). Me too, I was bullied at school and I find it quite astonishing how similar health issues are directly connected to similar traumatic life experiences. Your metaphor about the viruses behaving like bullies was spot on and gave me the key to finally interpret what is going on in my body and in my mind! So thanks again! JM
