Overcoming Daily Challenges with Long COVID. Plus, the knock on consequence of this made everything else in my life more challenging. (written 08/25/2024)

In our latest blog post, The Tyranny of Stairs, I dive into the everyday struggles faced by those living with Long COVID. For many, something as simple as climbing stairs can feel like an insurmountable challenge. I share my personal story of how stairs, once taken for granted, became a symbol of the overwhelming difficulties brought on by Long COVID.

The blog highlights the complexity of living with this condition, where symptoms like heart rate spikes, brain fog, and fatigue layer on top of each other, making even small tasks seem impossible. But there is hope. As my journey shows, with time, patience, and the right symptom management strategies, recovery is possible. Stairs, once feared, can become a marker of progress and strength.

We encourage you to read the full post, reflect on the challenges, and share your own experiences. Remember, you are not alone in this journey. There is a community that understands, and there is always hope for improvement.

Read the full blog post, The Tyranny of Stairs and let us know what challenges you’re facing. Together, we can find strength and take steps to build resilience.

Warmly,  
Katie

PS. When things that we used to not think twice about become a huge challenge due to Long COVID, it can impact your physical health and the impacts can accumulate. In our latest blog post, The Tyranny of Stairs, I describe my experience about how difficult stairs became when I faced the worst of my symptoms and noted the negative ripple effect this had on my life.
