If affirmations give you hives, and forced positivity makes you roll your eyes so hard you strain your optic nerve, then you've come to the right place my friend. In this house, the treatment plan is liberal use of sarcasm and dark humour, a fuckton of rude words, and a soupcon of rage for flavour. Insight focus on the “in”, not the “sight”, and worksheets are worth the paper they're printed on. Patient - heal thyself! For the physicians surely won't.

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.
