How to Explain Long Covid to Your Friends And Family to Get Their Support?
When the world was suffering from COVID19 people took it really seriously and there was a sense of empathy but now most of us don’t want to hear about it. Honestly what we went through collectively had a toll on us and we shouldn’t be angry with those who don’t want to talk about covid, but do you know why some of them are still talking about it? The answer is that there are millions who still suffer from some serious post covid symptoms. Their condition is known as long covid and it seems like only support groups like Swirl of Hope is their only friend.
Support groups are the ones giving people hope as they are unable to get it even from their family, the reason behind that there is little medical information about long covid and people don’t really believe that something like this exists and unless the symptoms are severe people would not take it seriously themselves let alone others feeling sorry for you or giving you the support, you need.
Underlying health condition and severe covid patients are the ones who are most vulnerable to long covid condition, some face regular and mild conditions like headache while others are not able to function properly and lead a normal live because some severe conditions have the patients in really bad conditions where the problems would persist for months or even a year, read more about the conditions and if you think that you are suffering from long covid then don’t just get medical help because you need social support as well and that is available in shape of support groups, if your family don’t believe you then show them medical data which is now available on the topic and remain patient because this condition is still very rare.
