"The long covid team are priceless"

Contracted Long Covid during the pandemic. This means lots of things are off such as speech, thinking, exhaustion to name a few. Years and years of tests both Private and Medical.

Until a GP suggested around 9 months ago about the Long Covid service, I was at a complete loss.

Tracey, as my one to one, and also the rest of the team have been great. It put me in touch with similar people with the same predicament.

This is not a miracle cure, as yet unfortunately there is none. However, it does help you in your everyday life. You find things like you have certain amounts of energy (your energy envelope) which you can draw extra from but like an overdraft you will need to pay back, meaning you may have a worse day or be able to do little the next day. With exhaustion and problems with heat I struggle with showers. It was suggested If I have one I can be out of action for a couple of hours after. It was suggested to shower just before bed, this will also help sleep.

The main thing is I know I am no longer alone. There are many questions regarding the NHS and funding, but I can say the Long Covid Team are priceless, in particular Tracey.

Thank you for all your invaluable help.

Thank You.
