- Long Covid Sucks
Have been suffering with Long Covid since 2020 and hearing recovery stories is a life saver. Having a diagnosis of “ well this is what it is but we don’t really know how it plays out, and this maybe the best you feel for the rest of your life” is depressing. I find Jackie & her guests inspiring and informative. Thank you Jackie for taking this topic on and not shying away from the negative parts of long term illness.
I appreciate what you do.

Audible5Not a shopperUnited States8 months ago- Misinformation
Really a bummer to see they had Sarah Myhill on, she is an anti-vaxxer and anti-masker. Says a lot about the information they are okay putting out there to vulnerable people going through difficult and scary medical issues. I don’t trust their reporting
Apple Podcasts1Emelie900United States2 years ago - Great because…
Because the podcast covers all aspects of post viral illness. Including Long Covid and ME/CFS. Good guests too. I’d like more interviews with scientists and researchers who’ve been studying ME/CFS prior to the pandemic because they have already eliminated many of the hypotheses being suggested by researchers new to the field. Sadly it’s one of reasons $1.2 billion was wasted on old debunked ideas. Had some of that money gone to ME/CFS researchers they already have a list of potential existing me... more
