Send us a text

On this episode I have a guest, Kerry is a fellow nurse and advocate for Long Covid. A founding and current member of LCNMUK (Long Covid, Nurses and Midwives UK).
Kerry and I discuss the impact of Long Covid, the varying symptoms and how these effect everyday life. Kerry explains she initially had over 30 symptoms, ranging from body rashes, temperatures to cognitive and speech issues. We discuss gaslighting and also the positive professional support Kerry has received. We also discuss what is needed going forward.
Kerry explains her journey and how isolated she has felt due to her symptoms, which can make a simple everyday task a momentous challenge.
We discuss the Long Covid community and the support and solidarity we are seeing, Kerry and I credit many people who have supported or are advocating for Long Covid, including Dr Binita Kane, Dr Wes Ely and Prof Louise Cummings and so many more, we are grateful to and thankful for. I have added all of these support groups/ people to the show note links.
Thank you for listening, I hope you enjoy this episode, as always take care.
