The Long Covid Collective

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share a treatment that has been working for me. I shared about this earlier but I have completed the initial 12 week course now and week like I should add it again.

With my long covid I developed lymphedema, and have been working with an osteopath in Lake Orion to try and remedy it. I have now completed the Perrin Technique initial 12 week course and have seen significant results/improvements in my energy levels as well as I have been able to ween off a lot of my medications. I have been able to workout and get through a full college day and hang out with friends, all of which I couldn’t do before doing the technique.

Hi Jemma, I stumbled on your account having been in a rut since I was infected with post Covid back in 2022. It Left me practically half paralysed. Thankfully that is no longer the case.

Etc.  Anyways… As you know, all in all, I had countless symptoms/ incidents(cognitive and physical). I was labelled (like many others) burnt out/ psychosomatic. But, to me it wasn’t logical, it…

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share a treatment that has been working for me.

With my long covid I developed lymphedema, and have been working with an osteopath in Lake Orion to try and remedy it. I have been using the Perrin Technic and am on week two of a 12 week treatment and am seeing significant results/improvements in my energy levels and other symptoms.

COVID THERAPY

Hi guys! A few weeks ago I started a special COVID rehab/revalidation programme and I thought I would share some insights and symptom managing excercizes with you, since this type of therapy is not available everywhere.

In the Netherlands you can get a referral from your GP if you still have symptoms 5+ months after your infection. They will refer you to a specialized physiotherapist, and sometimes also a occupational therapist (ergotherapeut), a psychologist etc.You only need to pay a small amount, the other portion will be covered by your insurance for 6 months.

My biggest struggles symptom wise are: fatigue, any screentime gives me headaches and palpitations and worsens my brainfog etc, showering makes me out of breath and tired, eating makes me nauseous.

Basic points:

- the first thing I learned is that my symptoms have nothing to do with my stamina. So it is not…
