Have a Lingering Mysterious Illness? Here’s What You Can Do

COVID-19 has recently shed light on the challenges facing those who continue to live with long-term complications and symptoms of COVID-19, ranging from chronic fatigue and brain fog to headaches and difficulty concentrating.

You may wake up one day and find yourself feeling a heavy weight holding you down or even unable to carry out everyday tasks without a feeling of fatigue. While the pandemic has placed the virus in the spotlight recently, there is a wide range of lingering and often mysterious illnesses that millions must manage each year. In an age of seemingly endless medical advice available at the touch of a finger, it’s frustrating for patients to find no clear answers in response to the symptoms they exhibit.

For example, many patients struggling with “long haul COVID-19” may find themselves grappling with a range of symptoms that seem to worsen each day, but without a clear cause and a clear distinction between physical and mental well-being.

If you have found yourself consulting with doctors to no satisfaction, it may be time to consider adopting a holistic approach to your ambiguous health challenges.

Take careful note of your daily habits and what routines and behaviors may be contributing to a toll on your physical, emotional, and mental health and well-being. You may want to take deliberate records each day on symptoms you’ve experienced, the time that pain begins, and what foods you had been consuming. Putting together such a “symptom journal” is an effective first step in identifying the right approach for your health needs.

The best news is that you don’t have to go it alone. The team at Balanced Healing of Jacksonville believes that holistic care represents the intersection of both holistic and integrative medicine. The team practices a wide range of traditional and alternative therapies that can help you to promote optimal health, no matter what condition you may be facing or where you currently find yourself on your health journey.
