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.

In this episode of the podcast I was lucky enough to chat with Gez Medinger, I appreciate Gez being a guest on this episode and sharing elements of his own Long Covid journey and much more.
Those who are familiar with Gez will know he has done a great deal for the Long Covid /MECFS community, using his YouTube channel to raise awareness, while participating and leading on research and providing educational videos on Long Covid and post viral conditions . Gez has interviewed and worked with some of the worlds leading clinicians and regularly makes interviews and information available on his channel. The videos are educational and informative, if you have not watched them I have included the link in the show notes.
We also discuss the book; The Long Covid Handbook, which Gez co wrote with Professor Danny Altmann and how the book encompasses Long Covid and everything that is known to date. This is available from Penguin health handbooks, the link is in the show notes from this episode.
I hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast, as always thank you for listening and take care.
