It's All Connected

Everything is connected

Even if you have prolonged symptoms (symptoms lasting for over a month), a full recovery of symptoms is likely.

There are interconnections between the physical symptoms (e.g. headaches, poor sleep, and pain), psychological factors (e.g. concentration and memory issues, stress, anxiety, and depression), and life demands (e.g. meeting the demands of work and of parenting).

Because everything is connected, a negative change in one area (e.g. poor sleep) can result in negative changes in other areas (e.g. increased anxiety, more physical symptoms, and reduced ability to meet life demands). On the other hand, a positive change in one area (e.g. better sleep) can create positive changes in others (e.g. less anxiety, fewer physical symptoms, and more energy to meet life demands).

Seeing how everything is connected helps us understand fluctuations in symptoms from day to day, and allows us to focus on those steps we can take in one area to improve how we feel overall.
