"Long Covid Clinic"

Perth and KInross long covid clinic contacted me shortly after my GP referred me. Being helped after years of trying to manage my condition myself has transformed my life. Gail is exceptionally sensitive, skilled, well-informed, intelligent and supportive in her approach. While making it clear that I am now far more ill than I had realised (and than I probably was up to about 10 months ago--I was diagnosed with post-viral fatigue syndrome over a decade ago) she has helped me to see connections that I had not made for myself, directed me towards great information resources, and contacted social services and related services on my behalf, all the while providing reassurance that I am mainly doing what I can on what will be a very long road to recovery. She's done all this with gentle humour, and great insight. She answers questions thoroughly in person and by email, and has always been there to support me when I've been confused about facts, or when it feels like nothing I do works. She sees the whole person, and their life, in context. I am so immensely grateful both that she is there for me, and that she is afforded the considerable time by the health service to give such personalised care. I could not have accepted and adapted to my new, very constrained lifestyle, without her practical and emotional support. And that is despite already doing quite a lot of what is needed. Thank you!
