Side-by-side images showing outdoor scenery and a painting activity. On the left, a person with curly hair walks down a grassy hillside path with a black dog on a lead, overlooking a wide green valley with fields, trees, and 
scattered buildings in the distance. They wear dark clothing with a red jacket tied around their waist. On the right, a tabletop art setup shows a small watercolour palette, a mixing tray with diluted paint, cups of water, and a sheet of paper with a finished watercolour painting of a sailboat on calm water at sunset, with warm orange light reflecting across the waves and distant hills on the horizon.

Before their Covid infection, our members were free to choose how they used each heartbeat.

Now, #LongCovid limits what they can use each beat for.

The change from before to after is obvious

Definitely worth trying your GP again and asking for a second opinion- our understanding (from a few years back) is that pwLC don’t always make antibodies so that test may not help. A LC diagnosis usually comes from symptomology after an infection rather than any specific test. We’re not medics tho!

Two contrasting images illustrating changes in health and physical ability. The top image shows a hiker from behind walking along a forest trail while carrying a large backpack with camping gear attached. Overlaid text reads: “Hiking the John Muir Trail for 7 days with a 50lb+ pack at elevation 10k–12k feet.” The setting is a sunny woodland area with trees, rocks, and a small stream. The bottom image shows a person lying on the floor at work with their legs resting on a fluffy white chair, wearing burgundy trousers and sandals, in an office space with shelves and equipment nearby. Overlaid text reads: “Laying on the floor at work to get my HR down, so I can complete 2 hours of work Post image

Catherine smiling in sunspecs in front of a large ferris wheel (the London eye). A wall of hearts: the uk covid memorial. A view along the river Thames with a wall of hearts on the right: the UK covid memorial

It's #LongCovidAwarenessDay & co-incidentally my 4th anniversary of #LivingWithLongCovid.

Good news: every month I get that little bit better. I am the Queen of pacing!

Bad news: there is no cure, no treatment, just patience.

Sending love & spoons to all my fellow #ME/CFS #LC friends today.

Thank you so much. We know it can feel fruitless when MP’s don’t respond but the more we keep talking about it, the more awareness we’ll raise that things need to change and we can’t be ignored anymore.

Right now is a critical time with the next #CovidInquiry report coming this Thursday 19th too…

Before infection, our members chose how to use each heartbeat.

Now #LongCovid limits what each beat can be used for.
