Lived Health  - Living Long Covid  

The first episode of Living Long Covid shines a light on just how debilitating fatigue can be for people with the condition.

Hosts Monique and Lere - who both live with Long Covid - share the day-to-day challenges they face. From the sudden onset of extreme tiredness, to lacking the endurance to complete simple tasks, fatigue has altered the way they go about their lives. For Monique, fatigue even impacted her sense of self.

Monique and Lere share some of their strategies to cope with fatigue for other #longhaulers and reveal a surprising silver lining. They discuss the difficulties of accessing support in the UK healthcare system, posing questions about the suitability of talking therapies for people with Long Covid.

Lived Health  - Ondine Sherwood 

In this episode of Covid in the News, hosts Monique and Tom spoke to Ondine Sherwood, co-founder of patient advocacy and support group LongCovidSOS.
