Covid-19 Response

 

At the start of the pandemic, March 2020, our family came down with Covid-19 along with thousands across the UK, including our Prime Minister!

​

So much was unknown during those unprecedented early days and I felt the media was scaremongering and hysterical. I decided to listen to the calm and rational early information out there that Covid-19 is just another virus (albeit more aggressive) and if you are young and healthy your body should fight it as any other virus. 

​

So it took the usual 10-14 days for me to recover however for my husband it was a different story. Weeks became months and he went from a mountain-climbing enthusiast to invalid, barely able to climb the stairs. Researching 'Long Covid' provided no advice or solutions and when our kind GP also could not provide any answers it reminded me of my back pain and subsequent journey 4 years ago...I kept telling my husband his body had healed from the virus but was now holding on to some past pain or trauma. The day he accepted my 'diagnosis' he said he felt he had his life back again and within a few days was back climbing a mountain (literally!). 

​

There are so many needlessly suffering 'Long Covid' and I would love to help anyone willing to think out of the box and deep within.
