No-one I knew was experiencing anything like I was.

Then I read an article about Professor Paul Garner (Prof of infectious diseases), describing his experiences with Corona Virus & realised there were others like me.

"He had a muggy head, upset stomach, tinnitus, pins and needles,  breathlessness, dizziness and arthritis in the hands. Each time Garner  thought he was getting better the illness roared back. It was a sort of  virus snakes and ladders. “It’s deeply frustrating. A lot of people  start doubting themselves,” he says. “Their partners wonder if there is  something psychologically wrong with them.”"

Paul Garner started the first "long hauler" support group, but it took me a while to find one myself.

Since joining the group I have realised that many people are not being listened to - they are called hypochondriacs, crazy or told they are just suffering anxiety.  

These stories need to be heard.  So that others don't feel so alone & so loved ones of people going through this, may understand.
