As requested....My experience on using a fitted Vagus nerve stimulator! Artwork

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.

As requested by those of you who follow me on social media, in this episode of the podcast I am sharing my experience so far, of using a fitted vagus nerve stimulator (VNS). I have aimed to answer all of the questions you guys asked me. I have given some information on the VNS, how it is fitted, what it does and how I am finding it at this point, including any symptom improvement.
I touch upon alternatives for stimulating the vagus nerve and what the suggested benefits are with using vagus nerve stimulation.
I feel positive, and I hope this episode of the podcast is useful for you. As always #onedayatatime take care, see you on the next podcast.
