  • 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.

Breaking Free from Chronic Fatigue and Long Covid with Jan Rothney
Q: So yeah, can I just say, obviously, and we'll get into your background with MACFS yourself in a second, but like, how did it feel like with the pandemic, knowing what you did, and obviously you could see kind of the writing on the wall with, with, you know, people were saying, I got Covid and then I'm not improved, and nothing's happening.
The pandemic amplified fear and highlighted the urgency for recovery guidance. Jan explains she wrote the book during lockdown to prevent people from getting stuck, emphasizing hope, the need for rest, nurture, and a proactive recovery mindset based on self-agency and research-driven strategies.
