Long Covid Podcast
Jackie Baxter
The Podcast by and for Long Covid sufferers. Long Covid is estimated to affect at least 1 in 5 people infected with Covid-19. Many of these people were fit & healthy, many were successfully managing other conditions. Some people recover within a few months, but there are many who have been suffering for much much longer.Although there is currently no "cure" for Long Covid, and the millions of people still ill have been searching for answers for a long time, in this podcast I hope to explore the many things that can be done to help, through a mix of medical experts, researchers, personal experience & recovery stories. Bringing together the practical & the hopeful - "what CAN we do?"The Long Covid Podcast is currently self-funded.

02 - Jackie's Personal Story
Episode 02 of the Long Covid Podcast is a bit of a personal one - my partner and I share our experiences of Covid and Long Covid over the last 17 months, coming from a lifestyle where we were very fit and active together to me having to deal with him going out without me, as well as him having to do so many things for me. Although my Long Covid isn't as severe as some, it's a sobering lesson in what long-lasting effects the virus can have on someone young and previously very fit & completely healthy.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Long Covid Podcast is self-produced & self funded.
