From Marathon Runner to Bedridden | My Shocking Mystery Illness Story | Part 1 of My Health Crash

What happens when the girl who runs marathons, crushes workouts, and lives for health suddenly can’t get out of bed?
➡️ This is Part 1 of my raw and personal story — “From Athlete to Bedridden: The Mystery Illness No One Saw Coming.” I was living a full, active life as a physical therapy assistant, trail runner, and creator when my world slowly started to fall apart. It began with small warning signs — gut issues, poor sleep, burning sensations — but quickly spiraled into something much darker: nerve pain, neurological symptoms, heart rate spikes, and total body dysfunction.
No one could explain what was happening. I was passed from specialist to specialist, dismissed, gaslit, and left to figure it all out on my own. In this video, I walk you through the storm of symptoms, the endless trial and error with supplements and peptides, the emotional toll of being told “everything looks normal,” and the heartbreak of watching the life I loved disappear. You’ll hear how I kept running, kept pushing — until I simply couldn’t anymore.

This is not just a health story. It’s about identity, loss, fight-or-flight spirals, faith, and the deep resilience that starts to show up when everything else fades away. From the hospital ER to late-night panic attacks, from trying to heal myself to standing beside my husband after his heart attack, this journey has tested me in every possible way.
➡️ But I’m still here. And I’m telling this story now, not just for me — but for anyone who’s ever felt like their body betrayed them. If you’ve ever been ignored by doctors, overwhelmed by mystery symptoms, or forced to rebuild yourself from the ground up… this one's for you.
Stay tuned for Part 2 — where things get even more intense before they finally start to shift.

🏃🏻‍♀️ Welcome to the official YouTube channel of Alison Williams Morris — where real healing meets raw honesty, and energy is earned back one day at a time.

I'm Alison — a licensed physical therapist assistant, certified coach with a master’s in Coaching and Athletic Administration, lifelong runner, and wellness advocate. But more than that, I'm someone who knows what it feels like to lose everything to chronic illness. I went from marathon training, coaching clients, and chasing goals to being completely bedbound after multiple rounds of COVID. My health unraveled with symptoms like chronic fatigue, nerve pain, digestion issues, hormone crashes, and deep neurological dysfunction. No one had answers, and the road was lonely — until I discovered the root: a severely impacted methylation cycle caused by an MTHFR mutation.
➡️ This channel is my personal documentation of healing from Long Covid, chronic fatigue, and methylation imbalance. Through the lens of functional medicine, faith, and relentless determination, I’ve rebuilt my energy, restored cellular health, and am slowly reclaiming the vibrant life I once had. I share everything I’ve learned about supporting MTHFR mutations, detoxification, nutrient restoration, nervous system healing, and what it means to come back from a complete health crash.

You’ll find me talking candidly about the struggles and breakthroughs, sharing my morning routines, supplement protocols, gut healing, mindset shifts, and what’s working (and what’s not) in my recovery. As I regain my strength, I’ll also bring you along as I reintroduce fitness, running, and physical therapy into my life — this time, with a whole new appreciation for what it means to truly be well.
➡️ If you’re navigating Long Covid, MTHFR-related issues, burnout, mystery symptoms, or simply want to understand your body better and heal from the root — you are not alone. This space is filled with hope, evidence-based tools, and lived experience to remind you that you can get your life back.

Subscribe now and turn on notifications to follow every step of the journey. Your healing matters — and I’m honored to walk this path with you.
