Connecting the Dots

Welcome to the chaos and confusion of LongCOVID.  I was infected in September 2020.  This podcast is dedicated to sharing as many details as possible to find a common thread with the listeners.  This episode is hard for me to listen to because I strive never to find myself in the same position.  Like all of us living with LongCOVID, we struggle with a spectrum of symptoms varying in severity and frequency.  I was a disabled mother, wife, retired nurse, and advocate.  This is the first time in my life I could not envision my future.  I felt powerless, confused engulfed in global pain.  Absolutely alone, the doctors I trusted offered little to no guidance.  I was so insecure.  I have moved on now in so many ways.  I’ve learned to disassociate from my symptoms.  At times I cannot deny them.  I’ve learned to live again rooted in ancestral living.  How have I succeeded with pure desperation, intuition and determination.  You too can learn to let your body lead.  Find some comfort in not being alone.  You are not crazy lazy or attention-seeking.  You’ve found a friend and the beginning of a community. Welcome to Longevity for the Longhaul.
