A new year is a good time to reflect and grow. It is a great motivator to change directions if something is not working. I am at the point in my life where health is my top priority, therefor that is where my energy will be spent. Health to me includes ALL parts of my life, the physical and the mental. I am not just talking about exercise and diet (although I will have recommendations for that) I am also trying to better my life with less chemicals and less stress.

I got Covid in December of 2020 while teaching high school. I was not able to return for spring semester. In fact, I was in a wheelchair with a whole host of health issues until late summer of 2021. I was finally able to get around without a wheelchair eventually, but my life has never been the same. Four and a half years later, despite going to a Long Covid Clinic and seeing a multitude of doctors, I still don't have any real answers or treatments. I am better, but I am pretty sure I will always have a chronic illness that prevents me from living the same kind of life I did prior to Covid. This list is just going to consist of things that I have found helpful in this Long Covid Journey. I am in no way a medical professional, and I'm finding that with Long Covid, and probably other post-viral illnesses, something that works for one person may not work for another! But I am here to share what has given me at least a little bit of my life back or made things easier for me.
