Dealing with a chronic illness is incredibly difficult on your body. The stress, the unknowns, the changes, the fear, the pain… it all takes a toll on your nervous system. Which then takes an EXTRA toll on your overall well-being and often results in a dysregulated nervous system. The reason this is a problem is that this extra stress can worsen your symptoms, it can lessen the effectiveness of your medication, it can cause new health challenges and more.
If you have a dysregulated nervous system, you are less prepared to manage any new things which is a big problem with chronic illness because you are always dealing with new and challenging aspects to your life.
This episode goes into 5 Ways to Regulate Your Nervous System in the Moment as well as advice on digging deeper to work through your fight or flight response and truly be in balance.
