This looks very interesting, Lucy. I'll be interested to hear if other members have been offered or told about vagus nerve stimulation as a potential effective treatment for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and respiratory dysfunction originated by Covid-19. There are several clinical trials underway https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?cond=vagus+nerve+stimulation+COVID&term=&cntry=&state=&city=&dist=

Has your therapist discussed with you how this might help in your case? Is this something administered by the clinician?

I had vagas nerve stimulation done this afternoon and initially, it seems to have helped, but it was not in a medical setting and instead was part of some cranial sacral therapy.

The positive experience (my heart rate is lower and my breathing is a bit easier) prompted me to do some more research.

The dolphin referenced above is what we used today.

Since I am a new member it seems I can't share any of the links I have but the title of the article is "Scientists propose cause of symptoms, treatment for long COVID-19" at it was published on the website for the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota
