We are referred to in the numerous Slack support groups, Facebook pages and the few mainstream media publications that have picked up this story as “long-haulers” suffering from #longcovid. This morning as I logged into the ‘Body Politic’ Slack group I’ve joined for support, there were more than 5000 members in the channel #over-90days. These are folks from all over the world, including 12 people who live within 50kms of my home. My illness has been nearly a carbon copy to thousands of other long-haulers; a blur of treatments, diagnoses (accurate ones and not-so-accurate ones), relapsing and remitting of crushing symptoms, uncertainty, frustration and a whole lot of time off work….but let me start back at the beginning.
