Welcome to the chaos and confusion of LongCOVID. I was infected in September 2020. This podcast is dedicated to sharing as many details as possible to find a common thread with the listeners. This episode is hard for me to listen to because I strive never to find myself in the same position. Like all of us living with LongCOVID, we struggle with a spectrum of symptoms varying in severity and frequency. I was a disabled mother, wife, retired nurse, and advocate. This is the first time in my life I could not envision my future. I felt powerless, confused engulfed in global pain. Absolutely alone, the doctors I trusted offered little to no guidance. I was so insecure. I have moved on now in so many ways. I’ve learned to disassociate from my symptoms. At times I cannot deny them. I’ve learned to live again rooted in ancestral living. How have I succeeded with pure desperation, intuition and determination. You too can learn to let your body lead. Find some comfort in not being alone. You are not crazy lazy or attention-seeking. You’ve found a friend and the beginning of a community. Welcome to Longevity for the Longhaul.

Introducing Wyatt Goldman, Central Sensitization Syndrome and the PRC Clinic in Jacksonville. Dr. Sletten and Dr. Munappali treated both Wyatt and I. Wyatt was 16 and I was 46. This is where he helped me find my way. Our story, our treatment and our friendship has empowered us both during our silent and invisible battle in a world that alienated us based on exposure to COVID. Val Wyatt’s mom also opens up as well about the barriers to care for LongCOVID in the Pediatric World.
