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.

On this episode of the podcast I chat to freelance writer and editor A. K. Davidson.
We talk about her book; Poetry for life and other chronic conditions, which is due out on the 6th June, the link to pre order the book can be found below.
Anna talks about her journey and experiences with acute and Long Covid, and how she now feels recovered, in a slower more thoughtful pace of life.
We discuss how Anna put pen to paper to create these short and thoughtful poems, she admits this was not something she enjoyed while studying at university, however has found a source of therapy in being able to express her feelings while living with a chronic illness.
As always thank you for listening to the podcast #onedayatatime
