The topic would be sensitively handled. (I should also point out that I have personal experience of the condition – you can read about it here https://theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/08/how-long-covid-forced-me-to-confront-my-past-and-my-identity )

My dad has been battling long covid for over a year now. He’s been so weak. I’d love to read your piece when you’re finished. Thank you for bringing more attention to it! ❤️

Hello. Had it since the beginning. No significant improvement in spite of trying many potential solutions. Knackered, grumpy and fed up.

Hi, not a medic, used to be a self-employed archaeologist, now house bound, barely walk. Covid wave 1 Apr 2020 (I remember the day!), LC Jun, hospital reviewed 2022, still unwell if less extreme 2025. Financially terrified, no income, mostly coma sleep.

Hi. Had it from April '20. Got better after 8 or 9 months. Got it again in Oct '21. Haven't recovered since. I am nowhere as bad with it as some, but it has ruined my life and I am thoroughly sick of it. Sick of letting my family down over and over again.

Also not in the medical field, but happy to see how I might contribute. Covidaversary: 3/11/2020. Are you looking specifically for UK based people?

not a doctor (well, not that kind of doctor), but am a LC survivor and am happy to share my experiences. i am not by far one of the more dramatic cases. been struggling since 2022 and have probably gained back 40%-50% of myself. but it still sucks, and i require a great deal of support.

Had it since April 2020 - wrote an optimistic blog thing for my first Covidversary but have been too dispirited to do anything for the rest of them. Still got the fatigue, brain fog and about 10 other symptoms.
