It has been a hugely gratifying  and humbling experience to get the chance to set up the Longcovid Service for Berkshire and work with a great team from primary and community care. We have learnt a lot and are continuing to learn as we help our patients suffering from Longcovid and offer them support, a listening ear, appropriate testing and treatments where available in a  trauma informed manner.

In this episode, I speak to my fellow colleague Harriet Wilkinson, A specialist pain physiotherapist with special interest in chronic fatigue management. She has been working with me at the Complex Pain Service at the Royal Berks and so when I set up the  Berkshire Longcovid Integrated Service (BLIS), her experience has been invaluable in providing assessment and support for those patients struggling with fatigue and pain and advice around pacing and psychologically informed practice.

We have learnt a lot and are continuing to learn as we help our patients suffering from Longcovid and offer them support, a listening ear, appropriate testing and treatments where available in a  trauma informed manner.

In the first episode of this series, I speak to 2 patients who are part of the Longcovid SOS group .

Each tell their story from their perspective and it is more  than important in a condition like Longcovid to know what the lived experience of these patients are and their symptoms  to be taken into account when designing a service that can meet their needs. Each persons symptoms are unique and thei experiences are different and I have learnt a lot from talking to my patients on how varied their presentations have been and how they have told their story.

In future episodes, I will be talking about our present upto date understanding around  Longcovid and newer studies and research and my team at Reading Berkshire.

I'm here to answer more questions that have come to light since the release of my book, 'The Pain Free Mindset'.

In this episode I discuss the role of drugs, injections and surgery in dealing with pain. While there is an important role to play, I believe it can't possibly be the complete solution. (1:20)

One of the final questions I've been asked is about the future and what it will look like in regards to pain.  I tackle this question at 9:31 and discuss our bodies natural ability to form new habits.

10:45 - Who are the target readers of my book, 'The Pain Free Mindset'?

Since the launch of my book, 'The Pain Free Mindset' and the 'Pain Speak' podcast I've received a lot of questions which I'm going to answer over the next few episodes. 

In this episode I discuss the title of the book and answer the question; is the pain free mindset an indication of the belief that pain is all in the mind? (2:20)

The second question I tackle at 6:36 in this podcast is; is it fair to compare the physical pain experienced between one person and another?

At 8:12 I answer a third question; how can patients deal with psychological stress which manifests itself as physical pain?
