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
In sickness and in health
In this episode of the podcast I talk about relationships "in sickness and in health". I discuss how chronic illness/disability can impact on relationships, this does not just come down to a partner, it includes relationships with family, friends, colleagues and most importantly the relationship with yourself.
I reflect on friendships and relationships, the good and bad times and how the moments in time shape who we are, however life does move on and relationships do not always make the test of time.
I talk about valuing ourselves, where we are in our lives, how we have got to this point in the journey. I will reach 3 years in May and I value how far I come in terms of relationships, how I respect myself, my body and loving myself and other "In sickness and in health".
