But reducing every symptom to that is dangerous. Here’s why: • Fatigue can be the first sign of thyroid disease, anemia, or vitamin deficiencies. • Memory problems may reflect sleep apnea, autoimmune conditions, or even early neurologic disease. • In some cases, these symptoms have been the earliest warning of a ser

My hyper startle response amuses my family members no end 🤣 the truth is though a hyper startle response is a result of living with high levels of anxiety that your fight or flight response is ready to go at the slightest thing! So when I tell people I live on the edge… this is what I mean 😅 oh and by the way if I’ve just described you then yoga and meditation help so much with calming the nervous system down 😌 #yoga #yogacomedy #humour #startled #mentalhealth #anxiety | Abi Mills Yoga
