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.
