Hello all,

How are you holding up?

Heart problems, joint pain, neurological "glitches", memory problems, recurrent fever... These are all symptoms listed by people with Long Covid (i.e. COVID-19 symptoms that last more than 20 days). Many patients are then unable to work. However, this condition is not yet recognised as an "illness".

And what about you? Have you been able to return to work? If so, how are you coping at work, is it difficult? If not, are you on sick leave? What are the current regulations for patients?

Feel free to share your experiences and thoughts in the comments below, your voice and experiences are important to us all!

Take care,
Courtney

I have not received Covid. I am vaccinated and boosted. It works. My husband came home sick with Covid and he was out for two weeks. I wore my mask and social distanced.
