My covid story! Hi my name is Ginny I am from Orlando, Fl
45 years old
My close circle of friends always amusement park bound with a cocktail in hand as my friends and I walked around and made memories. I was always known for my tag line, “Lets meet for cocktails after work.”
Health issues pre-covid high blood pressure, IBS, depression and severe anxiety. Still on the road to my dream job 5 years in until March 2020 hit us all.
Thankfully I was not furloughed during this time but I began my new way of life working from home and seeing my parents once a week per usual for dinner and laundry. They live close to me so I am very lucky to see them once a week. However, this also began my extreme hermit lifestyle. Grocery delivery, neighbor taking my trash out and when I would go…
Hello, everyone a few weeks ago I wrote down my story and then it somehow didn’t publish the post, so I’ll do it again now
Hey, I’m Salome 15 years old and I’m from Switzerland. So my English is not very good.
My journey with long COVID started on the 23rd. November 2021. This morning I got up as usual and suddenly couldn’t keep myself on my feet. My head hurt terribly and I was really weak. like with a flu.
At that time, there was still the time in Switzerland when you had to take a weekly corona test at school. However, I decided against taking a PCR test so often because I had respect for the consequences. I also have to say that I am unvaccinated.

Hello Ginny,
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us. You have written your story so beautifully- you write so well! What a tough time its been for you. I particularly like the phrase you used: "I reach into a grab bag of all symptoms never knowing which one will attack me today." - so powerful. That is truly how it feels at times, you are certainly not alone in this! And the other lovely phrase that I am now going to use if you don't mind is: "Connections I have with complete strangers that now feel like my very own long covid blanket" - that is just so special! I feel exactly the same. I am sending you so much love Ginny and just know that you are one of my long covid blankets! Hope you're having a gentle day today ❤️
