Living with Long covidAuthor: Julie
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 lets Learn, advocate and continue this journey together.

Friday, 14 March, 2025
Send us a textThe 15th March 2025 marks International long covid awareness day, this year is also the five year milestone of the pandemic. For many it will also be reaching their personal 5th year of living with long covid. Kerry and I wanted to mark this milestone with a very organic chat about where we are now, what we would like people to know and understand. We reflect on our personal journey's, the millions of people (of all ages) whose lives have been affected and changed. The losses and the gains in the form of a large and supportive community, we discuss how in the darkness and uncertainty the ME community reached out to let us know we are not alone. We discuss lack of understanding, the continued challenges however we also wanted to celebrate the amazing professors, scientists, consultants, doctors, advocates, charities and support groups, and our families and friends that are by our sides. We discuss the impact chronic conditions have on those we love. We celebrate and thank everyone who stands in solidarity and while this is not an anniversary or something any of us wanted, it is an opportunity to shout louder, have our voices heard and make sure none of us feel alone. #solidarity #onedayatatime My Links:Long Covid clinic -Dr Binita Kane & Julie Taylor; Email: info@thelongcovidclinic.co.uk for more information Episode sponsor; Turnto - This is a brilliant app, a one stop shop to support anyone living with, caring for or supporting and additionally professionals working with people living with Long Covid and or MECFS - please mention The Long Covid podcast n the "how did you hear about us" section, thank you https://turnto.ai/download?utm_source=link&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=livinglongcovidpodcastLinktree:https://linktr.ee/joulestXhttps://twitter.com/julieTa58407536Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/livingwithlongcovid/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/julie_livingwithlongcovidPlanners:https://amzn.eu/d/9v9MP4vReturn to work planner:https://amzn.eu/d/1QVK8zn Well being planner:https://amzn.eu/d/a1Safxc
