Havana Syndrome, affecting US intelligence, diplomatic, and military personnel with neurological symptoms, has been dismissed by skeptics as psychosomatic. Now, investigative journalists present evidence that Russia's notorious GRU assassination squad, Unit 29155, is to blame.

Unraveling Havana Syndrome: New evidence links the GRU's assassination Unit 29155 to mysterious attacks on U.S. officials and their families

A yearlong investigation by The Insider, in collaboration with 60 Minutes and Der Spiegel, has uncovered evidence suggesting that unexplained anomalous health incidents, also known as Havana Syndrome, may have their origin in the use of directed energy weapons wielded by members of Russian GRU Unit 29155. Members of the Kremlin’s infamous military intelligence sabotage squad have been placed at the scene of suspected attacks on overseas U.S. government personnel and their family members, leading victims to question what Washington knows about the origins of Havana Syndrome, and what an appropriate Western response might entail.

So, I might have a #KidneyStone rolling around in my bad #kidney 🤕

It's not fair, I've already had one this decade. Maybe it's #psychosomatic - that's a thing, right? Psychosomatic kidney pain?

I think currently #emotions are considered #psychosomatic.

The #brain is often not the best control of emotion. Thus variance in pain toleration and what not probably proves there is a limit unique human brains have in controlling pain, via the #mind only.

As a person living with #CPTSD, the only #therapy that worked for me are the #SomaticTherapies and there is a lot of research there. Dr. #Porges theories regarding #polyvagal we have found helpful. #SomaticMindfulness practices as well have helped me control emotions.

For #humans we believe the ability to control emotions depends on the type of emotion, and the skills one has gained to deal with emotions. #WillPower alone we think would be the least effective. And of course there are probably emotions we don't want to control.

While visiting #california I tried some #thc tablets to see if they help with my #chronicpain. Unfortunately the slight decrease in pain came with heavy brain fog. But it made me think that if that’s the effect there must be some #neurological and/or #psychosomatic thing happening. That means I can still change my brain.

Long COVID made me an advocate for myself as symptoms were ignored with treatments hard to access

Long COVID made me retreat from the world, entering into the realm of invisible illnesses where sufferers are ignored, dismissed and struggle to find the help they need.
