I have long COVID, MCAS, POTS, etc., and I absolutely notice a direct line from any kind of stress to symptoms in my body. The most troubling ones are increased fatigue and brain fog, but the one that warns me the “loudest” is peripheral neuropathy. My arms and sometimes my legs, neck, and face get a cold numbness, like when you rub Icy Hot on your skin. It’s not painful per se, just kind of noticeable and uncomfortable. I typically have to immediately rest, meditate, stimulate the vagus nerve to try to restore equilibrium, and it doesn’t always work.
