Two years ago today I tested positive for Covid. I was fit and healthy and expected to be back to normal in a few days. It's been two years and I still can't walk 50 yards.
The only people who think #LongCovid is no big deal are those who don’t know enough about it.

I missed my mother's wake and my friend's entire funeral. I tried to go to my husband's sixtieth birthday party and had to be taken home. I've missed my kids' school events, chances to see friends, god knows how many more simple normal things. It's taken away the job I loved and the pastimes I loved even more.
I don't want to whinge on but I do think there is still a vast lack of understanding of how much this disease can take from you. It's not just "being a bit tired".
@eleanorrees I feel this so damn hard.
My family are clawing at me to get me to do things with them. It isn't that I want to lose the time that remains with my parents, but I really can't do it, and the insistence that I must makes everything so much worse.
