After a severe covid infection in 2020, I developed Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. It took a little over four years to find the correct diagnosis. I was misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia and kept getting worse until I finally met a mast cell specialist. Since then I've worked with my wonderful health care team to find solutions. Here is a list of the medications that gave me my life back. I still experience pain most days, but it's manageable now. I am so grateful for the hard work of everyone on my health care team and my own resiliency. Always listen to your gut and don't be afraid to follow your intuition. Please note that the Amazon links are affiliate links and please discuss all medicines with your doctor first. For the prescription meds I will share links with information about them.

Follow your care team’s instructions for incision care, compression, and when to use scar products. Nothing here promises faster healing. Disclosure: This list contains affiliate links.

First off, I'm sorry you're reading this list because either you or a close family/friend broke an ankle/foot and it's not FUN!! I broke my right ankle (fibula) May 2023 and then the same right ankle again, June 2024 (tibia this time). It was terrrrrible both times lol but especially the first. I couldn't put ANY weight on my foot for 6 straight weeks, whereas the last time in 2024 when I broke it, I was able to walk using my boot.
But two weeks after breaking it in 2023, with the non-weight bearing, I had my planned trip to Belgium and still went. These things saved me during my healing time and traveling while injured.
I flew from New Jersey to a layover in Iceland then to Belgium and vice versa on the way home with a broke ankle not being able to walk. I used wheelchair services in the airport and that made my life much easier.
If you're going through this too and wanna talk about it with someone who understands, lmk! It definitely would've helped me knowing someone who went through the same thing.

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.
This is media that I have found that has been a source of inspiration or education in my wellness journey. Whether through exercise, deep breathing, or thought-provoking reporting, I hope these videos, websites, and apps help you feel better too.
