If you’re not affected by #LongCovid then it’s easier for you to forget what a public health catastrophe the ongoing #Covid19 #pandemic still is. Your odds of having to deal with challenges like these are a lot higher than you might know, or want to know.
Emily, I hope things get a little easier for you soon.
As another person with Long Covid, (5 years now) it's a challenge in so many ways beyond simple health. Perception is a big one...people see me in public and assume everything is great. They never see the full day of recovery needed every time I go out. And so on.
And it's different for every one of us afflicted with it. People struggle understanding things they can't categorize, so the perception problem is deep.
