The Long Covid Collective

I got long covid May 2022. Haven’t been the same since. Thank you for starting this page. Hearing other people’s stories really help me feel less alone.

Hello! I thought I would go ahead and share a short summary of my story to encourage others to share their story in the same way. My name is Jemma, I am 24 years old and I have long covid.

I have been fortunate so far to not have had it for long, as I know others have had it far worse than me and for far longer and not mention those within the ME/CFS community.

I have numerous symptoms at the moments, namely, extreme fatigue, breathlessness, nausea, heart palpitations, migraines, lightheadedness and many others. But the good news is that I am having better days!

I really hope to hear from others about their own stories. This is a safe space and any research, resource, comment, plea for advice, support or any thought can be shared and discussed.

Sending you all so much love! We are in this together.❤️

This is just devastating! Iva Safrova's story is honestly heartbreaking. To everyone that’s been suffering since the pandemic began my heart goes out to you. Stories like these are why it‘s so important to keep pushing to raise awareness and support others in the community!
