Suffering Long Covid: What happened What I experienced What worked...for me And, what really didn't

Suffering "Long Covid" A Survivor's Guide to Recovery and Resilience

What if Covid-19 was not the end, but the beginning of a long and terrifying ordeal?

Nominated for the Eric Hoffer Book Award, 2023. From the book: "Those who have continuing symptoms after Covid-19 has run its course are referred to as having, "long covid". Or, "long haulers disease". That initial bout of Covid-19 can be either horrible, deadly, or show no symptoms at all. Some new research is pointing to a relationship with low cortisol levels for those contracting LC. Research is ongoing. Some of which I had never heard of before this, and have included in this book.

"Regardless the duration of LC, aside from its symptomologies, it really becomes another monster all its own. While some have indicated LC can last a couple of years, others seem to get over it much sooner. It's yet to be seen if some may never be rid of it. Although my own first experience with LC lasted just over a year. Between eight to fourteen months it was hard to tell if it was LC or reinfections. I assume now it was just fading LC that would flare up with longer durations between.

"Then I caught Covid and LC again, in 2022. And the symptoms were far worse, and life threatening.

"This book has three main parts. The first, is in these chapters. The last part is an interesting list of reference links. Some are referenced in these chapters. While many others are there for your own reference. In the second half I include my daily logs, from living through my own version of long covid."
