Hey Reda - I’m so sorry to hear that you’re struggling with Long Covid - but I’m glad that you will be writing about your experiences. It’s important that people understand what these types of chronic energy limiting illnesses can do to someone. It’s the best way for people to learn the value of protecting their health AND how they can best support someone who’s chronically ill.

I use writing as a way to cope with horrible situations in my life. I tell my stories in the hopes they will help others - and by telling them I also find a small way to heal and process trauma for myself 💜

Hi Reda, I get you with the never imagining you’d take photos of your mobility aids, but what better place to do it, gorgeous beach! I just walked to the toilet using my stick like my physio told me, it feels so odd and silly and wrong doing it in the house.

Yes chronic illness is hard and difficult to read about, but speaking as someone with LC's elder sibling it's really important that our stories are told. I'm here for the moral support, and gorgeous pictures of mobility aids.
