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".

I'm so sorry you're going through this 😔
So many losses to grieve, and then on top of that people thinking it's just being a bit tired.
I've had ME/CFS and orthostatic intolerance since 1990. It sucks.
Sending lots of love ❤️
@eleanorrees Kind of you to say so 🙏
It's nothing compared to the work of people like Tom Kindlon (he's definitely worth following if you don't already) and others.
@ahimsa_pdx Yes he's great!
I find I get a bit overwhelmed if there's too much Covid stuff on the timeline, so I don't follow many Long-Covid-info-tweeters but I do regularly look at the hashtag.
