Living with Long covid
This podcast aims to raise awareness of long covid, provide a platform of support, education and the lived experience.My name is Julie, I am a registered nurse in the UK. I became unwell with Covid in May 2020 while working on the front line, during the first wave of the pandemic. Subsequently I live with long covid and POTS ( postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). I would like to share my journey and lived experience, the symptoms and how each impacts daily life. I aim to not only consider the physical issues but also the impact this has had mentally and emotionally. It is reported over 2 million people in the UK and an estimated 65 million worldwide, live with long covid. This is huge, and affects every area of a persons life, their family, friendships and work life. Join me and some great guests and let’s Learn, advocate and continue this journey together.
Living with Long covid
Guest Heidi Baseler neuroscientist talks about the brain, micro-clots, research and Long Covid
In this episode I talk with Heidi Baseler neuroscientist at the university of York in the Hull York medical school.
We talk about the brain, micro clots research and Long Covid. How these could be acutely and chronically effecting the brain. The symptom overlap with ME/CFS and other post viral conditions.
Heidi discusses a research/study paper that she has had published "The negative impact of covid 19 on working memory revealed using a rapid online quiz" what the findings are, and the current and future plans for further studies.
We discuss how these studies can support possible future treatments.
Thank you for listening to the podcast and as always, take care.
