The formula for my wellness has now become more complicated
I used to revere any GP that treated me for a medical condition, even when they overshot with prescriptions or had no answers for a particular issue. I was taught at a young age that respecting people with “authority” was the order of the day.Like millions of others, I have Long COVID.No, it’s not the doctors’ fault. But even though I lack the qualifications, now I am the doctor.
Don’t worry. I don’t practice witchcraft. But if I knew that might work, I would dust off my broom right away and type in a search for “cauldrons” on Amazon.Desperation has taken me down many paths towards treatments I wouldn’t possibly have considered in the past. No need to list them all here. It’s not my intention to be self-righteous or prescriptive.
Silver linings have become my golden ticket to tolerance and the one that shines through is self-compassion. As I connect with what often feels like a broken body, it somehow feels instinctive to talk to myself with kindness; and while not medically substantive, it’s proving to be a useful tool. Like magic, symptoms sometimes soften under this light.
Long COVID is like a solid ethernet connection; you’re connected all the time. Even when you don’t want to be. So, I’ve made friends with it, even when it barks back like an angry dog.
