  • A beaming beacon of hope for people with long covid

    I’ve been living with long covid for nearly 2 years and this podcast is such a brilliant beacon of hope. There’s so much on the internet about long covid yet so little focus on the ever-needed stories of recovery. Listening to this podcast helps me get by, especially on those awful worse days when the symptoms hit hard. Thank you so, so much for making this podcast and helping us remember that recovery, however that looks, is possible.
