My opinion: If #MarlenReusser did get better, a big part of it was luck. A huge part was luck. I now dread the takes that suggest, if she was able to overcome her #LongCOVID, everyone can. Many of us try a million things, but do not manage to get better. Even more of us don't even have the energy to sit upright for a long stretch of time, so imagine how meditation might go.

And yes, it's possible to meditate lying down. I have been doing that every might for almost 5 years, but no such luck.

Side note: I am not at all surprised, given her personality, that Reusser opted for the heroic approach in regards to her #LongCOVID, as in "I am gonna beat this", instead of maybe doing solidarity and advocacy work for her fellow ill people, who don't have the platform and the same fame that she does. Like Matt McGorry did.

I appreciate him so much, don't you? We could use more Matt McGorry's and less Marlen Reusser's.

The meditation thing also keeps boggling me.

Seriously, if meditation could heal this i would have been healed years ago. I have been meditating for over 35 years, daily, and i have continued to practice all through my #LongCOVID. If meditation could be the solution, that would mean that it is not a somatic illness, but one of a wrongful inner attitude. Mental training also suggests the illness to be psychosomatic.

Okay, i have not tried hypnosis, but really? Still don't get that.
