The Long Covid Collective
Thank you for setting this up Jemma.
I have had LC since Jan 2021. Has definitely exacerbated conditions asthma and migraines which are far worse. The most difficult thing though is learning to live with the fatigue.
Left work end of 2021 as was too much on top of other responsibilities including being a carer.
Have moved forward from where I was then but it's still very tricky.
Hi everyone,
Nice to meet you all (although none of us want to be here!) Thanks Jemma for starting this space 😊
Quick intro - I’m 42 and live in Rutland. NHS worker who managed to work throughout the pandemic and then got Covid last March on annual leave 🙈. Sadly been off sick ever since and officially leave my job next Friday. I live on my own with 5 cats and have listened to a lot of audiobooks in the last 15 months!
