DNRS experiences?

I watched the videos the last week of March. By the end of April, I was about 50% better. I was 85% better over the summer - indistinguishable from a healthy person to an outside observer. Then I foolishly stopped daily DNRS practice and slowly began to decline. Now I'd say I'm about 30% better than I was last March. I plan to recommit to daily practice! Truthfully I never did DNRS for the full hour per day that's recommended, usually just 15-25 minutes, so I am not the best poster child.

I didn't know you could regress after stopping. I guess that makes sense if you don't stick with the new patterns that you've developed

I would think overtime you wouid be able to stop the program - as the brain wouid be “rewired”?
I wake up in the middle of the night sometimes - with horrible doom and gloom feelings - sometimes I’m also sweating lightly - nothing like it used to be - but still bad enough that it’s disconcerting.

I often wake up early in the morning (4, 5 am) with tense anxiety. All the thoughts of my life and what happened come through. It's really hard

I think I regressed because I did not do the practice for a full hour for a full six months. I also spent time on this forum and reading about health topics more than I really should have (in terms of the protocol).

Definitely excited to hear how this goes for others!

Girlie, I will report soon! I actually do not focus on my health/ruminate on it each day, but obviously I do when I need to take medications and supplements throughout the day, so I feel like this will be an interesting experiment.

It can't not help in some capacity, I am excited about it!

I'm considering starting if my current plans don't have enough effect. I use a similar program called the 21-day Brain Detox by Caroline Leaf and it has helped with my sleep, depression, and anxiety a ton. I stopped doing it though, and I'm aware that I must continue practicing because it's for building habits and new thoughts - you must keep at it! Still, the coping mechanisms I've learned are valuable every day.

I just picked up this book called "Mind Over Medicine" by Lissa Rankin and it's blowing my mind. I feel EMPOWERED to steer my health, but I can see how many could be offended.

You just have to read these things from a gracious perspective - no one is saying that Lyme is all in your head. There's an excellent interview from Chris Kresser with Annie Hopper (creator of DNRS) that explains this - it's not psychosomatic, it's actual brain trauma, but it can be healed thru cognitive exercises.

Super excited.

I'm thinking of starting Gupta program. DNRS (Annie Hopper) just didn't agree with me. My short term memory is really bad - maybe its brain fog, any way, just can't follow the DNRS. I signed up for the Gupta trial and watched the first 3 videos. Definitely feels more like my speed and I like the science he puts behind it.

I hear you, k07. The videos are in desperate need of an update, and the program is much more helpful once you understand the foundation and can reword it to feel more natural to you. I hope it helps!

I have fallen of this and have done it very rarely lately. But its time to start it doing more again as my nervous system seems to be in a bad shape. Starting again during a sauna session tomorrow.

So there are steps you need to remember?
Gosh - not sure I’d be able to do that.

Can’t they be written down and just read them every so often?

Starting this again, Monday! Anyone with me?

I'm in. I'm planning for a few rounds in the late morning (this is when I have time to myself - not easy with a kid) and a round in bed at night (just visualizing the physical part).

I will probably do 30 minutes late morning and 30 minutes in the evening but in the past even 40 minutes a day was helpful....
